I use the Opera browser: http://www.opera.com
Among other things (like having tabs for ages!):
- enable/disable tables and divs (like you do)
- enable/disable images with a keystroke, or only show cached images.
- enable/disable CSS
- banner supressing (aggressive)
- enable/disable scripting
- "fit to page width" (for those annoying sites that insist on using a  
fixed width of about 400 pixels, less than 1/3 of my actual screen size)
- apply your custom CSS or javascript on any page
- edit the page source and *refresh* the original page to reflect your  
changes

All of this makes a very smooth web navigation - specially on a slow  
computer or slow connection.
