I'll second FanFictionDownloader -- it's what I use and at least as of last weekend was unbothered by any FFN chicanery. In addition to Adblock, I also suggest NoScript -- it's very hard to disable features on a site if you don't let it run any scripts.

I have to second the AdBlock/NoScript combination. Frankly on this laptop I run those not so much to protect from malware as to preserve cpu cycles. The day I turned on that combination I saw cpu usage while browsing the web drop from around 95% (spiking to 100%) to around 20%. Of course I do tend to keep far, far to many browser tabs open. When I find myself regularly returning to a site I'll whitelist it in AdBlock.
