Truly disabling advertisement (ad) fetching in Firefox

I stumbled upon this upon reading a slashdot comment, yeah, where else?

So I have ad-block installed, which does a pretty good job already. But that doesn't block everything, like javascript code calling sites like google analytics.

So I'm sharing this because it really improves the speed, specially on a notebook which struggles to keep up to speed with all that AJAX crap (pun intended?).

So the addon you would want to install is called BlockSite and can be found exactly here on the Mozilla addons site

Once installed configure your BlockSite preferences to include:

$ cat list
[BlockSite]
*.doubleclick.net
*.polldaddy.com
*.polldaddy.com
*.google-analytics.com
*.scorecardresearch.com
*.gravatar.com
*.247realmedia.com
*.likeme.net

You can also create a file out of that cat output and use BlockSite's import option
