I use AdBlockPlus and it works wonders, especially on sites that are ate up with over bloated advertisements. I have it disabled for SMF, about the only place I've done that, but since I can't afford a membership, at least that helps in a small way to pay my use of the site. I've also found the ads here not to be extreme, and they don't cripple the page loads on slow connections. Not only that I've found most are interesting enough to click on as they are largely about tools related to scrapping
