I also like paying my taxes, driving big gas-guzzling vehicles, eating large hamburgers, buying CDs and books at local retailers, support George W. Bush and love the Washington Redskins.
You better have one hell of a fire to get rid of me. MUHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Whenever you see a banner ad you hate, right click on it, press Adblock, and replace the last bit of the URL with a * and you will block all ads from that site. It rules.
I also recommend BugMeNot. You right click and press BugMeNot on any site which requires a registration, and it gives you a username and password to use to get around the registration.
Also, "Allow Right Click" lets you right click on pages that have scripts to prevent you from right clicking.
Web sites use banner ads to fund them, and banner ads aren't that annoying (except Flash ads on Linux with a slow computer and the older versions of the Flash player- slows the entire PC to a crawl).

What last bit are you writing of?
Let's say you want to adblock this:
http://rightmedia.net/51/175/do_you_want_gb_728x90.gif
Well, if you instead adblock THIS:
http://rightmedia.net/51/175/*
Then you will block all the ads from rightmedia.net.
It's very fun to block out addys like ads.digitalmedianet.com/* so you never get ads again from them.
I don't really mind small banner ads, but I can't stand those huge block ads that they stick in the middle of pages like IGN and GameSpot that make it difficult to read the paragraph.

Especially when they start flashing.

Firefox is a great browser, I highly recommend it. But if you feel like also giving a small alternative browser a try you can try INET. *points at sig*
