Firefox: AdBlock Video is a simple Firefox extension that'll play your videos commercial-free.

Sadly, regular old Adblock Plus can't usually block video ads on sites like Hulu. Luckily, AdBlock Video does it in a pinch. Just install the add-on and enjoy ad-free videos from the likes of Hulu, NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, and more.


As always, we do believe you should support the sites you visit. However, you've probably noticed that many of these players play the exact same ads over and over again, which can be very annoying, so we understand the desire to block if you're a particularly heavy video watcher. Use with care, please.

AdBlock Video is a free download, works wherever Firefox does. Note that it doesn't work if you're using Adblock Plus at the same time, so you'll need to disable Adblock Plus while you're watching videos (and then re-enable it when you're done). They hope to have filters they can integrate with Adblock Plus soon.
