scottobearad shield is great... I've been using a trial version of it, and finally went and bought the full blown one.
It's small, and easy to use--you right-click on ads to add them to a block list, and they don't appear again. You can also block popups, redirects, and pages.
It takes a little bit before you have a decent number of ads on the list so that you're blocking a lot, but after that, things run faster for all sites. And all Yahoo ads have an identical section in their address, so if you set it to block just that section, you will thereafter block *all* Yahoo ads. Speeds things up enormously. There are also a couple of places on the net that have block lists available to just download and add, but I found that the default is fine for me, and I like shooting down ads that sneak through.
It works really well on those evil super-popups like the vampire game, too... pop-up stopper was good, but this on will stuff the weaselly ones that squeeze through. Live 365, too.
Limited Edition hulk cereal is corn pops with hulk marshmallows. Strange, and ugly to look at, but tasty!
Got to chitty chat today via email for the first time in an age. That made me happy.
