I have tried DNS ad blocking based on one of the popular lists out there. Sadly it was overly aggressive. It cut off my access to sites like mint.com and the Google Analytics dashboard (need it for $WORK). It also made sites like Hulu not work because of their ads. Debugging why this was happening was a huge pain because for example Mint uses Intuit domain names that are like right levels deep CNAMES.
I am going to try this out, but here I would have even less control since I can't edit the zone file.
Edit: Just turned it on and cleared all relevant caches. Still seeing ads all over Google, CNN, BBC, Imgur and a few others. Don't think this works terribly well.
Edit 2: oh but now the Comedy Central app on my phone won't launch. Turning this off.
