Adsweep seems to get mixed reviews, the main problem some people seem to have is it changes the layouts on some pages.
Another option is http://www.privoxy.org which is a non-caching local proxy that removes ads from any browser you use. I've heard it works well but don't use it as I have a catching proxy on my gateway and adblock so it would serve no purpose for me.
