There ya go - Ad-Block is pretty good. I use it too.
Also plug in Privoxy if you want ultimate control over what your browser displays. Its default config works well, but it is so open to customization, it will make your head spin.
You can also use it to modify things on the fly as you visit web pages - Just for fun, say every time your browser returns Snoop Dogg for example, you can make your browser replace those words with Snoop "The Murderer" Dogg! An included example is in the fun settings where it changes things like Microsoft to M$. You can kill flash, popups, animations, anything you feel like.
It will also control what is outbound from your browser. I can make my browser report any data I want to a particular website. For instance, I may be using Linux at any particular time, but I can report to the website that I am using Windows. Basically, it puts you in control of what information external sites can have about you.
Best of all, it is multithreaded so you will overpower other people downloading from a particular site by hitting the same site 10+ times, counting as 10+ users vs others simple single threaded browser. As I type this, it is through Privoxy.
