I have been trying out a technique for ad-blocking i saw on slash-dot: someone made a huge list of common ad-sites and made a hosts file where the names get sent to 0.0.0.0
So now, almost always, i am spared the flashes, pictures, etc of ads. Less download time and less eye clutter. I'll send the hosts file if anyone is interested
