Ad Muncher: keeps the brain intact while surfing the Net - beats AdBlock!
brotherS:
Here's a program with one of the best ratings over at http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Ad_Muncher/1031644604/1
Ad Muncher: keeps the brain intact while surfing the Net - beats AdBlock!
Publisher's Description:
Ad Muncher removes adverts, popups, and general browsing annoyances from all popular browsers and Web-utilizing programs. It also removes banners displaying and popup generating programs like ICQ, Morpheus, Kazaa, Grokster, iMesh, BearShare, LimeWire, etc.

I used to use Firefox' AdBlock extension, and so I was skeptical at first - but now I'm really happy that I switched: AdBlock really seems to have a memory leak, since I'm now having no more memory issues with Firefox! It's also great that it works for every browser!
Ad Muncher has LOTS of options (great!) which you do not *need* to change to be able to use it (so even people who do not know their PC from the inside out will love it), but *could* change for some fine-tuning. For example you can add pages that you want to support to the "no filtering" category. I'll add here the *good and friendly* pages that I'm visiting, since they deserve to get some money from ads:

Lots of nice options here - I HATE it when sites change the window size... now I LOVE that I will never see that again :)

Ad Muncher comes with an in-built email-the-devs feature and live chat/tech support (using IRC) - I love programs that include something like that, very helpful for newbies!

ad muncher is no where close the the proxomitron, and proxo is free.
brotherS:
Ok, why don't you write a Proxomitron Mini-Review then? :) Is it as easy to set up?
Carol Haynes:
I anyone is interested it is here: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/proxomitron/
Personally I haven't tried it.
Interesting to note the denial of service attacks the site has been experiencing --- I'd guess that means they may be getting something right!

i am not good at writing review, especially on a program like Proxomitron that capable of rewriting the whole webpage.
it is very easy to set up, no installation needed, just unzip, run it and set up the local proxy.
you can get proxo here: http://www.proxomitron.info/
and the lastest filterset here: http://geocities.com/sidki3003/prox/prox-config-sidki-2006-03-05.zip
