Microsoft opened up technet subscriptions earlier today for free. Long story short, I have infinite product keys for everything in microsoft's back catalogue from the last 20 years
it took me like 3 months to work out that opera has a built in banner blocker right click on blank space > block content > click the ads you want to block Pretty sure you can use userscripts to block text ads too
WOW ------ing w00t. I posted a link to get that free subscription though, anyone interested from the US can check it out in the Games & Technology forum.
