Update: Version 3.2 is up - thanks to those who pointed out I was eating words in Kontera multi-word links. Their generated HTML is truly... interesting.
Only takes a few people pointing out my flaws to get me off my duff. New release can be found on Userscripts or installed by right-clicking here.
I spent a month or so trying to prevent the Vibrant Media javascript from executing, but it seems impossible given the current limitations of Greasemonkey. So I've adopted an approach first used by Brian Donovan, which is both clean and more correct than my css hack.

The words "drive" and "site" disappear in the first few paragraphs of that article.
]]>How do I install this script on the web site?
I do not have a problem with my computer, but I want to prevent all people who have intellitext from viewing our web site incorrectly and being redirected to our competitors.
Thanks for the hard work!
The other possibilities are that either the ads weren't IntelliTXT (Adbrite, maybe?) or that Tom's Hardware is testing something new for Vibrant Media, and they're only serving it to some viewers for now.
]]>You, sir, are a scholar and a gentleman.
Those ads drive me sooo crazy, I had installed Greasemonkey and was ready to roll up my sleeves and write my own blocker.. that is, until I found yours.
Congrats on the work! Simple and effective--the epitome of good code.
if ( event.target.getAttribute('class') == "lw_cad_link" )
{
adNode = event.target;
childNode = document.createTextNode(adNode.innerText);
}
The comparison
!event.target.nodeName.toLowerCase == 'a'
is ineffective because ! has precedence over == so that expression ends up comparing a negated function pointer to a string, which are never equal. That should be
event.target.nodeName.toLowerCase() != 'a'
]]>I'll have a look at the site you mentioned - hopefully I can have a new version blocking those ads shortly.
