Look at Proxomitron (free) at http://proxomitron.org/.

Pros: stops popups, just about all ads, cookies, web bugs, intrusive
Java - it will do just about anything you want to do.

Cons: all that power comes at the price of being rather technical. No
support from the writer (it's freeware) but there is a good email
support list at prox-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Uses 'rules' that can be
customized as needed, and there are a large number of pre-written
rules to do a LOT of different tasks. A good 'default' rule set is
available that may suffice for most people.
