How to block ads when using Hotspot Shield

In a previous post, I presented Hotspot Shield as great free tool for security and privacy. Moreover, I have shown how to use Hotspot Shield to watch NBC streaming video.

Now, one of the cons of using Hotspot Shield are the annonying ads built into HSS monetization scheme. The problem is the massive box on the top of every page users surf to as well – completely vanquishing an incredible chunk of screen real-estate. Here is how to solve this problem.

First, you should use Firefox or at least use it when browsing using Hotspot Shield. Then download an add-on called Adblock. No need to configure the aad-on, it just lodges in place and has a solid, constantly-updated subscription to ad definitions. This solution does not work everytime but it’s still very easy to turn the extension on/off via a button in the toolbar.

You can download Adblock extention from here.
