For popups that is probably true, assuming you are using moz or konq.
But this was for ads that don't popup. Some sites i go to have flashy ads that make page scrolling jumpy just because the animation is running. Also, it's nicer to read pages w/o the ads cluttering it up.

I actually wondered about blocking requests from HTML to servers other than the page originator. This would break some sites, but i wonder how many of those sites i want to see anyways. It would work something like this.
I follow a link > HTTP page request (server details noted) page comes in < HTTP page delivery browser renders HTML HTML code requests a graphic/etc
> HTTP request to noted server approved
-HTTP request to any other server dropped
My guess is it could only be implimented on the browser itself. Be
one hell of a security feature though, less than half the cookies,
and speed up surfing no end.

Anne, what version of Moz offers this? and where is it switched on/off?
I'm not sure when Mozilla implemented it, but you can check for it under:
To regulate cookies: Edit => Preferences => Privacy & Security => Cookies
To regulate images: Edit => Preferences => Privacy & Security => Images
To regulate popups: Edit => Preferences => Privacy & Security => Popup Windows
