It's simpler to just use a hosts file for blocking ad domains. A HTTP server serving replacement ads is optional. An adblocking proxy only becomes necessary once you start rewriting the contents of pages. I used to use AdBlock but nowadays I only use a hosts file (one from http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/zero/ http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/zero/ ) and I haven't noticed any ads that don't get blocked, while memory usage is lower and performance higher.
