Alternative: block some sites entirely (on hosts file),
Very efficacious. If you google you'll find there are a few tools to help support this, keep your block list up to date.
The downside is that the adblockers rewrite the html so that the empty ads don't take up screen real estate while the DNS approach leave the gaps gaping.
My ad blocking is a combination of hosts and CSS, nothing via extension, applied mostly only to my primary SeaMonkey profile, with most blocking done in CSS. I use a variation on the description at http://www.floppymoose.com/ that uses a file adblock.css[1] that is imported by userContent.css. I've occasionally thought about using router to block, but if I was doing it that way, AFAICT, it would be too troublesome to switch off in order to investigate problematic consequences of blocking on particular sites.
