I personally found Squid useful for doing things like replacing (with blank 
gray bars) all traffic coming from  ad.* ads.* *.doubleclick.net 
*.flycast.com, etc.

Sped up the loading of most webpages noticeably when I was on a 33.6 dialup 
line, not to mention eliminating the aggravation of those f#@%*#g banner ads.
(especially punch the monkey, I'd like to find the idiot that came up with 
THAT stupid and annoying thing and punch *him*)
