RE: Ad removing proxies
I've been using privoxy and I really like it.
Its a bit intrusive (sometimes "scrambles" a pic that is not an ad).
It is derivated from junkbuster, so it will block cookies, javascript,
depending on the way you configure it of course.
It also has a "fun" (optional) feature : some regexp replacements can be
configured on page contents. Some will find it funny enough to replace
"microsoft" with "micro$oft" on every wab page they view...
Only saying I like privoxy, I didn't try others...
