I must say that I really, really like the Adblock extension for Firefox. In addition to just being able to clear all those really annoying advertisements that many sites have, if you come across an image that bugs you on a site you frequent, just adblock it. Voila! No more annoying image. I sometimes forget I have this installed, so some images annoy me for far longer than they ought. Lately, I’ve been using to block disturbing avatars on a couple of forums.

You know it!!
I also like the list that shows all page elements that you can wildcard out..
“ads.doubleclick.net.*” was one of the first!! It’s great for those pesky flash ads that you can’t right-click on.
When I need to boot into Windows (all twice a year) where I haven’t installed adblock yet, I go crazy.. it’s like another internet.. “what’s with all this junk on the screen!!”
