Ah, but the control is so fine that you can browse quickly and still allow vroom to stay employed. You can limit which banner ads you see, at least by the server they come from. I specifically allow in banners from adfu/perlmonks. I also block all cookies except for a few sites, one of which is perlmonks. It all works very, very nicely. The only drawback is when a site changes servers and hence has a temporary IP - not that it's *ever* happened around here. More than once or twice :)

And if you still are feeling guilty about shutting out the lovely Perlmonks banner ads, head on over to Ye Old Monastery Gift Shoppe and stimulate the US economy a bit, specifically the parts of it that keep this place running.
