But I guess that really doesn't answer your question about doing it within the browser.
Opera will allow you to refuse pop-up windows from within the browser (both Win and Linux versions). I don't think you can block images from certain domains, but you can choose not to display any images, or only cached images. Not quite what you are after, but you can do it easily in a couple of mouse clicks.
Also AOLs problem is not the browser, but the proprietary (sp) software they use to connect you. I noticed a distinct slowing down when I changed from Freeserve to AOL, using both IE and Opera. (I have a cable modem now, so everything is fast
