Blocking flash ads.

Flash ads are annoying, but there seems to be some that actually slow down my computer (I sometimes have to use my old laptop). So, what do you guys use to block flash ads? And good plug-ins?

I use Mozilla Firefox with this add-on to block those annoying ads. It blocks all flash on a site but allows you to click to view them. But it seems more and more flash ad are getting by.

In Konqueror I can block ads by URL. Sometimes I have to look through the source of a page to find out what I have to block to really end it (most of the time some JavaScript stuff), but it works very well.

I should look into this as well. Many flash ads are certainly a gross annoyance.
