I use to use Firefox adblocker but since switching over to IE7 and the same program extension not existing for IE I am using Ad Muncher.

What are the other penny/bandwidth pinching forum members on this site using for ad blocking?
 
Adblock Plus for Firefox. Don't see why anyone would wanna switch to IE with all the great add-ons for FF?
 
Pith-helmet for Safari as well as a hosts file
 
I develop mainly for IE so that is why I use it. One disadvantage is the extensions aren't all free but you can always crack them at least.
 
Firefox2 + adblock plus + hide element(for those few that adblock needs help identifying, good in a point and click method)
 
squid with bannerfilter, iptables firewall, noscript and adblock plus. shocking to browse on other systems since half of websites consists out of ads suddenly.

CoolIris seems like it downloads webpages before clicking, eats bandwidth?

Fasterfox and StumbleUpon also does it, but has settings to moderate it.
Fasterfox makes rendering and download performance go up
StumbleUpon takes you to a random website in a preset category.
