proxomitron

An HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) filter that looks at a web page before your browser sees it and prunes out things you find obnoxious such as:

Control MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) music and other sounds.
Freeze animated .*.gifs — load only the first frame.
Kill most all advertising banners.
Stop Web-Branding and other scripts added by web space providers.
Stop Pop-up alert/confirm boxes.
Remove slow web counters.
Stop web pages and ads from auto-refreshing.
Remove Dynamic HTML.
Prevent getting stuck in someone’s frames.
Remove frames or tables altogether for that matter.
Kill or change selected Java scripts and Applets.
Add your own scripts to pages.
Remove or replace web page and/or table background images.
Stop Status bar scrollers.
Unhide URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) obscured by status line text.
Convert blinking text to bold.
Remove Layers and Style sheets.

This list just scratches the surface of what it can do. It has an international cult following of people who manage to get it to do manner of unlikely things.
