My preferred way of blocking ads
Authored by: vogunaescht on Nov 26, '02 10:15:22AM

Squid with Adzapper works like a charm. Installation is fairly easy.

Squid is a proxy server, which can be run locally. Adzapper is a redirector perl script. Think of it as a plugin for the proxy. Every object url a browser requests from the proxy is compared with a list (which you can extend manually). If the url matches an entry in the list, a replacment object is sent to the browser (from the proxy). In other words, instead of ads you see transparent gif images.
