I would also like a score based system which would put responsibility of not visiting stupid sites back into the surfer's hands. Whenever you visit bullshit sites like hackerjews or facebook you will get a minus point and at the end the worst will get sacked by the suckommunity.

What about something like pixelserv (written in perl[1] or C[2]) with something like hostsblock[3]? It's a DNS solution, but the timeouts aren't a problem 1: http://proxytunnel.sourceforge.net/pixelserv.php 2: http://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?threads/pixelserv-compiled-to-run-on-router-wrt54

Yeah, I agree with the general feeling that adblocking shouldn't be done in the browser. I prefer privoxy, though it's rather complex. adsuck is another thing that probably does the job well. /etc/hosts can do a reasonable job too, as others have mentioned. Also, there is the fact that adblocking
