I can vouch for Adblock+ and NoScript. Adblock+ is truly great and
truly transparent. You won't even know its there --- you just wont see
any more ads. Manually adding blocks is easy.
NoScript gets installed and uninstalled frequently. I love it when it
works, and I hate it when it gets in the way. It's great for the
"right-click" blocking sites.

Which is why it's better to let your browser plugins do the work for
you. Blocking *.doubleclick.net/* from within AdBlock+ is trivial to
constantly doing nslookup for whatever the hosts are and adding them to
/etc/hosts. That's what AdBlock+, NoScript, and Ghostery
are for. Install them,
and block all that trash without mercy.
There are also published lists of HOSTS
entries that simply raedirect
to localhosts or 0.0.0.0. Browser-independent.
Does anyone know of a DNS lookup utility that accepts HOSTS entries
with wildcards? e.g., *.doubleclick.net Windoze or *nix versions,
doesn't matter.
