I block ads, load plugins (Flash) only on click and replace the YouTube player with direct embeds of the video stream (no ads/UI/overlays/other nonsense). Then there's User CSS for a few sites and Greasemonkey to force autocomplete=on because you're not allowed to disable useful things in my browser for no good reason. A select few sites also get their HTML edited on the fly (using GlimmerBlocker). That's what it takes these days to make the Web not annoy me. Mind you, it's not really the fact that there is advertising that bothers me, I'm just offended by how dumb most of it is. Plus, it makes sites a lot easier to look at.
