I just started using "no script" a few days ago (it's a Firefox add-on) and so far so good.

Good question! I’ve been wondering the same thing. And fear I’ll pick a bogus one.

It’s gotten to the point that I won’t visit the Washington Times anymore, due to all the ads.

If you are fairly comfortable with the technical aspects of Windows and can follow basic directions, I would suggest making some modifications to your 'hosts' file, and the following website shows you how to do it:

I've been running mostly ad and banner free for years without any complications.

Good luck!

AdBlock Plus and Ghostery (for the tracking stuff) and disable Flash entirely, Most sites have moved on to HTML5 which obviates the need for Flash and its attendant malware.

Pale Moon (a Mozilla-type browser) running something called ‘Adblock edge’ is a perfect solution for me.

Some pretty good comments on this thread posted earlier

.Report: Ad blocking costs publishers $10B, equal to 250,000 jobs, 2 aircraft carriers

I turned on tracking protection in Internet Explorer after reading comments there. Drudge loads instantly now instead of having to wait.

Ghostery. Nice add-on for Firefox and on-the-fly-configurable.
