I use a custom hosts file with the DNS names of the most hated advertisers redirected to 0.0.0.0
Does the trick and still lets me see the adverts of CP and other respected sites.

I tend to block ad's, just how I am. I really like the feature you get in firefox, where you can right click an image and say "Block Images from abc.xyz.com". Fantastic! The only short coming is sites like this one, I can't block the ad's here as it will block all images from CP (also, I use the ad's here, they tend to be of things I'm interested in)
I also use Firefox Flashblock extention - great for stopping flash content, which is generally advertising on the sites I visit.

Fantastic browser! Popups?! What is that?
I use a caching proxy for my network so I tend to centralize the filtering at the proxy level. Ads are one of the things I filter out.

For well designed sites I don't need an ad blocker, because the ads are not annoying.
If ads are placed right in the text, or blinking so fast that I cannot read the site's content, I just leave the page and search for a readable alternative. I think that is what the webmasters want. Annoying advertisement-terror is a non verbal version of "go away, I don't want you to read my page". Alright, no problem, I don't have to read it.

You block every site?!
Well, that makes the internet quite small.
Don't you agree that it would be enough to block ads on every site?

Firefox blocks the popups, that's enough form me.
If the rest of the site is readable, it's okay.

FF is great, but what i find annoying is that some pages are bad displayed...
of course, it doesn't change the content, but can lose readability (indentation for example).
anyway, i use my firewall functionnality to block ads, and it's enough too.
