Blocking ads using PAC file

[VH]

Just read about using PAC (Proxy Auto Config) to block ads on PC Mag.
The site it point to is http://www.schooner.com/~loverso/no-ads/. It
is one of the idea that when I read about I thought to myself "Someone
should have thought about this years ago." I remember using PAC file
to restrict public access computer years ago when Netscape 4.08 was
the king.

Maxthon ad filter is pretty good so I did not tried this. Anyone who
used hosts files may want to use this instead because it is more
flexible. Please post back comments on how it is working out.

Personally I use a modified HOSTS file.
