Hasn't happened yet. Perhaps I did block non-ads, but they weren't
important enough for me to realize.

I used to do it on a site basis, but it didn't work well for me. I
don't want to merely remove ads from sites I visit often. I want to
remove them from as many sites as possible, including a site I've never
seen that I may visit today.

With adblock, you can use "*" as a wildcard. So, I want to block some add? I
right-click the offending add and sélect block... In the dialog that show up, I
replace most of the string by a single *. Hit the return key and close. Voilà, I
see about 12+ ads disapear at once :) And if I encounter add by that server
anywhere else, they to, are blocked.
Some of the blocking strings are: "*doubleclick*", "*adbrite*", "*adserve*",...
or something like "<some site URL>/banner/*" if I want to remove the banners but
not the rest of the content.

I have a flash-block! On my WinXP laptop, the privileged account can see
flash, and the non-administrator account doesn't show it. I haven't
quite figured that out. I even tried granting privs to the usual
account, installing flash, and revoking the privs, and it still doesn't
work. (Hmmm... I'll have to see if it works if I try it with the privs
turned on.)
Any ideas?

(Er... sorry about that.)

You said half of the pages are made with JS, so I'd guess disabling JS
would disable those adverts.
I have pretty simple solution myself - I don't have flash player installed.
