It has been a little bit since I've dealt with these extensions, though, because I started using another browser that offers things like plugin and JavaScript whitelisting as a core feature.

I used http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm as a starting point and added other sites over time. If course, adds which are served from the visited host are not blocked that way. Let them earn some money.
