Is there an option for turning off the suggested links on a webpage?
I'm not sure if that is the proper way to describe it. When a web page opens, random words are underlined (such as laptop on this Ask A New Question page.)
Sometimes if it is a word like "claims," the link goes to an insurance company. I think this should be an option to turn this off because I think it is annoying. I guess it might be helpful if I was doing research but I'm not.

Adblock Plus with subscription filters can block Google Adsense and Google Analytics within Firefox. A hosts file also offers added protection for your entire system.

Subscription filter(s) is required Easylist US is the most common one, Fanboys is next most comman, you can have multiple subscriptions, plus your own filters

Thanks. It wasn't Firefox but an add-on called Arcade Web advertisement. Not sure when it was downloaded, but watching the video for filtering Adblock Plus helped me figure out where to look for the add-on. LOL
Tried to uninstall it but Arcade Web will not uninstall from the add-ons list. I was successful in disabling it. Don't know if it will turn back on when I turn off the computer.
