Not to worry, AOL is switching back to Mozilla (well the engine anyway).

I use a proxy server to block images and advertisements and entire web sites, and tag lines from annoying users (GoosenCherry). Works very well. The ad blocking is automatically updated nightly from a master database on the net and I can add individual sites that I wish to block. "Squid" is the proxy I use. But I guess that really doesn't answer your question about doing it within the browser.

Opera will allow you to refuse pop-up windows from within the browser (both Win and Linux versions). I don't think you can block images from certain domains, but you can choose not to display any images, or only cached images. Not quite what you are after, but you can do it easily in a couple of mouse clicks.
Also AOLs problem is not the browser, but the proprietary (sp) software they use to connect you. I noticed a distinct slowing down when I changed from Freeserve to AOL, using both IE and Opera. (I have a cable modem now, so everything is fast )

Yes but I have many machines and several accounts on each machine. A proxy server "can" block specific sites and it does it automatically for all machines and all accounts. Much easier than doing it at the browser level. I don't get any tagline images because I've blocked all the sites that they come from, no matter what browser I choose to use. I can't imagine ever using Opera, unless they release it as open source.
