I just removed Adblock Plus because it turned out that Noscript was disabling almost all the annoying ads anyway, along with Flashblock. There’s very little difference in what I see now without Adblock. Just a few static ads I don’t mind.
I’ve heard of Flashblock but I don’t have it. Sounds like either Flashblock or Adblock works but there is no point in having both.
I don't mind seeing the google text ads too much. It's the flashy, blinky, look at me attention whore ads that cause me to install ad-block.
