If you mean advertisements, I use Firefox, which is excellent in stopping popups, etc.

But if you're talking about spyware type advertising, read my post here

Do you mean popups, or ad/spyware?

For the latter, yeah i use Ad-Aware - yeah it's reallu good, though sometimes i use Spybot and it finds stuff that Ad-aware missed.

As for popups, AnalogX Pow! works well, but Firefox = none at all.

I would personally stay away from anything based on IE.

isn't myIE called maxathon or something now?

it is too featureful in my opinion, I like how in firefox you can customise everything.
opera is also overly complex.
