Try Free surfer MKII. It works great and also it can stop gif ads.

Heh, I've been using Phoenix for 3 or 4 months, and I love it. I only use IE now for MSFT sites (Windows Update, etc.). I personally like to kill popups, ads, etc. with the browser, rather than a third party utility. On a sidenote, I stumbled across a neat .css for Phoenix (presumably Mozilla, too) that removes some, if not most, banner ads. If anyone is interested, I can post the contents here.
Code:
That file gets saved as 'userContent.css' and gets placed in:
\Documents and Settings\%UserName%\Application Data\Phoenix\Profiles\default\(random string)\chrome\

Here's a pair of screenshots, one with Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1, and the other Phoenix 0.5 with the above listed userContent.css applied.
Honestly, I don't know, I haven't used Opera... You could try doing a search for a custom/default css... I'll try installing Opera in the next few days and check it out.
