Judith, In my opinion Adblock Plus is way more than just "worth installing" on any browser that they support in any way. It is a part of my standard new computer setup protocol for all clients, provided they do not object. As far as I'm concerned, it's worth its weight in gold for any sighted user and in platinum for anyone who is visually-impaired or blind. The nice thing is that it even nicely rearranges the page's visual presentation, not leaving huge gaping areas of white space, where advertisements are removed.
Adrian, I cannot compare against the technique you use in JAWS, but Adblock Plus does an incredible job in removing ads and the folks who maintain the subscription lists of ads to be blocked have been doing a top-notch job for a long time now in keeping them up to date. I believe someone else commented about a possible issue induced by your technique of choice on another thread where you'd mentioned it, but I am not absolutely certain of that. I have not seen JAWS behave badly with web pages processed by Adblock Plus since it appears the processing occurs prior to them being served inside the browser, so the "purged" result is the first and only thing JAWS has to work with.
