This is a worthwhile option for the browser.
It can block many ads, and also block cross-site request forgery exploits.
CSRF exploits take advantage of a ma

It doesn't really solve the ad prob

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

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
