This last point is right on. I don't click banners because I know enough to know most of them are ridiculous. I do, however, disagree with building any ad blocker into any browser. Without banner ads etc, a lot of sites would not be able to cover their hosting costs, and if everyone started using Firefox (it could happen) and no ads ever got displayed, many sites would not be able to afford their bandwidth and have to shut down.
If I CHOOSE to block the ads I should be able to, just as if I want to run to the bathroom or get a drink during a TV commercial break, I should be able to though. If I choose to look into the urinal instead of reading the wall advertisements, I should be able to. I can agree with advertisers rights to place ads, but I should not have to read them if I CHOOSE not to.
