I actually like to see the ads on the sites that I'm on. If a site can afford to advertise, then you know the owner is taking care of the site and it has potential. So for that reason, I like to have banner ads staying on.

Most of the sites I visit i.e. talkfreelance.com have relevant ads, that i enjoy knowing about. I normally block ads from websites that have nothing to do with the site I am looking at.

Ditto. I basically ignore all graphical ads. Once in awhile something will catch my eye, but not often. I think one becomes immune to them after awhile. For some reason though I always read Goooooogle Ads or text based ads. Maybe because they seem like a natural part of the site, I don't know...

As for the question, I only use Firefox's popup blocker.

I don't block ad's, but I don't click them either. I think the best place to advertise nowadays is the SERPS.

I have Mozillas default Pop up blocker. I hate seeing ads pop up no matter what they are about or related to.
