I am hoping that these will be silent videos. I HATE it when I go to a website and suddenly, sound is blaring out of my speakers because some stupid ad has decided to play music at me for my attention. I do not like it when websites force me to listen to something I didn't plan on, especially if I'm in a public environment on my laptop such as a coffee shop or something.

Step 1: Use Firefox
Step 2: Install Adblock Plus
Step 3: If step 2 is not sufficient, install FlashBlock as well.

I find Flashblock very useful, since 90+% of Flash embeds that I see (ever!) are crap I didn't want. The remaining 10% I just have to click on once.

You are awesome. I don't know why I never thought to check for Firefox add-ons to block ads...I feel kinda silly now...
