Oh but it can, take a look at my previous post about User JavaScript and other features that are equivalent to Firefox extensions. I believe there are at least three different ad blockers approaching the solution differently.
Best for the user right now is probably Opera - noone is willing to pay for a browser so there aren't really that many people willing to mess around with writing viruses and crap for it.
Opera is free as in beer btw. And it's the exactly the same browser as if you pay for it. Unless you think about the tiny Google ad bar at the top.
You only need to pay if you want the banner away and get official support by the company.
Opera has a lot of nifty "extensions" by using User Javascript. That means JavaScript snippets that are appended to web pages (this in addition to being able to have JavaScript in buttons and panels)
Point me to one site that is 100% standards compliant (There no such thing as a percentage of standard compliancy, either you are compliant or you're not) that doesn't work in Opera.
No problem, just download the free version: http://opera.com/download. It has a 34 pixel high banner at the top which shows contextual Google ads. And Google is still considered "good" even by Slashdot readers, no?
- If it hadn't been that SVG is already supported with some half-ready implementations in Mozilla/Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox, as a custom plugin in Konqueror, and the Adobe plugins available for Netscape 4 plugin compatible browsers - in addition to Opera 8's built-in implementation of course;)

Huh, people still run MSIE?
The 90's called, they want their browser back!

Press Ctrl+L to enter adress bar and mark the entire addess
It gets nicer the more Opera you use ;)

If you have bought a license during the last 30 days I think you are entitled to a refund.
:-)
You still get premium support if you have registered. Some people value that much more than removal of 40 pixels of ads
Which means it is also cool, fuzzy and makes you dizzy! Purrfect ;)

Some people might even get courageous after using it. And others might even get more chicks/hunks.
Don't forget to pay the newly released community portal a visit too: http://my.opera.com/
If you think you are going to miss some extensions when switching take a look at the informative postings here:

For even more User JavaScripts look at http://userjs.org/

Who, Eric Schmidt?
Kudos! Just use the standards! ;)
Actually, you can even just press [ctrl]+[shift]+[enter] in the adress bar to open in a new tab and [shift]+[enter] for opening in a new window.
If you have set all windows to open as tabs, the latter should work.
Check out http://opera.com/products/mobile/ where you can download both the Symbian Series 60 and Windows Mobile for Smartphone version.
Try http://userjs.org/ , it has lots of nice "extensions" for Opera.
:)
Some people would argue that Opera already has all the features needed. Personally I don't agree though

The webpage http://userjs.org/ has a lot of them listed.
NukeExtension and Flashblock:

Open new tab when typing address:
Type this in the addressbar:
javascript:void window.open("http://cnn.com");
Ok, a but long, but you can add a button that pops up a requester (and open the address in a new tab) in a very simple manner.
You can also cut'n'paste the address and when middle clicking tell opera to open that url in a new tab.
Not really, as the Premium support which you get by buying Opera is not included in the free give-away.
For migrating to Opera, follow the standards.
;)
Then make some coffee
Well it has a good focus on security and works like a charm at least ;)
Use the standards.
You find them at http://w3c.org/
I'd say if someone needs preparing here it's Microsoft. Please prepare your browser by following the standards.

The latest on Mac is this (8.00 beta 1):

http://opera.com/download/index.dml?platform=ma
and it should have SVG, but I haven't tested.
If not just download the Adobe SVG plugin for Safari or Firefox or Mozilla/Netscape/MSIE.
It works on all SVG enabled browsers that I've tried.
It's not really a showcase, just a funny slideshow done with SVG. If you aren't familiar with it yet, it's about time.
So to answer your question:
Or is this some sort of content standard that only Opera has implemented yet?
not really
and they're just ahead of the curve??
I guess
Would've been kind of clever indeed.
;)
