I finally got mozilla 1.0.1 installed, and the experience lasted about 1 day. 

I went back to mozilla 0.8 that shipped in mandrake 8, primarily because it 
treats images like cookies. That is, you can 'reject' specific images, or 
images from a specific host. This makes turning off those ugly flashy ads 
easy, without sacrificing the layout of the entire page. Since I'm still 
stuck on a dialup account, this also more than doubles page retrieval speed, 
since those flashy graphics are the byte hogs on most pages. Image rejection 
silently disappeared from mozilla soon after AOL bought Netscape. 

Anyone know of a current browser that also has image rejection/suppression?
