Load but hide ads is needed
As already suggested by John Rix, a way of loading but hiding
ads would be extremely useful for the reasons he lists.
My suggestion is that as an "advanced" option, there could be extra
menu items: "Hide ads on this page" and "Hide ads on this
domain".
There is a possible compromise, but that would probably be much harder to implement: Basically my main problem with ads is that I find web pages impossible to read when there is something flashing or moving next to the text I am trying to read. If AdBlock could detect animation and disable that, then the ad won't bother me and occasionally might even be useful. With animated GIFs you could simply limit the display to the first frame. With FLASH and JS animations, you probably have to stop the script from running or maybe cover it up with a grey box (as the old "Flash Block" did).
