On my personal workstation I run a daisy chain of Privoxy and Squid. The 
former removes advertising, the latter caches my traffic.

However, it should be noted that. While squid supports compressed data 
transfer, privoxy does not, so you either get a feed that is gzipped and 
remove the ads locally, or you get a plain uncompressed feed without ads.

I haven't found a better solution yet.
