Click On Save, and Close ChromEdit; Restart Firefox. Now you won't see those pesky Google ads again!
Firefox BEFORE Google Ad Hack:
*img473.imageshack.us/img473/5968/untitled1vw.th.jpg

Firefox AFTER Google Hack:
*img497.imageshack.us/img497/8364/aftergh3eu.th.jpg

it's Really worth it considering, the page layout gets much cleaner after the hack.
PS: It removes Framed Yahoo! Ads as well, but not the Sidebar ons on Geocities Website.

Enjoy!

I don't remove google ads cause if I visit a website or blog frequently, then I like to help the creators of that site and click on some ads...

not saying this is a bad job or anything. Pretty neat.

S

CUSTOMIZE GOOGLE extension already ahs this option, anyways nice job man

Thx m8.

What .. ?? So much editing ..?
Just block this file :

Code:

*pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js

to block Google Ads ..
To block Yahoo Ads, block this :

Code:

*ypn-js.overture.com/partner/js/ypn.js

You all are hurting Adsense users here. We earn only little from those ads and you want to blobk them also. Actually Google or Yahoo! Ads never hinder your browsing. Its the big banners or popups which hinder browsing as the ad hovering on top of Digit Forum with DAJ_Glass Theme.

That annoying HP Notebook Ad? I blocked it with Ad Block!

I surf Ad Free! Make my Connection Uncapped and i'll Love Ads! :lol:

But these ads increasing the time taken to load the page :evil:

No ... The time taken to download the page wont change if you remove ads .. Your browser makes the changes when its rendering the page and not when downloading the source .. So source will be downloaded but it wont be displayed ..
Although you can notice the increased speed because most of the ads are on thirdparty servers and as these ad server links are omitted in displaying, the images arent loaded ... So it saves you bandwidth but not so much download time ..

In Any Case, the Frame Ads are too lite to make a big diffrence to browsing. it's really for those, who think they Screw up the Page Layout, which they do.

i don like this...

i myself use adsense and also help good sites by clikin on their google ads

S

i guess navjotsingh shd take a look at this *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19082&highlight=adblock

and now tell me who did not want ads in the first place...

N

Good research work. How much time you wasted on that? I asked that question because i was writing a guide and was researching on a good ad blocker software for ie and other browsers as well. I always support adsense ads and they never compromise on net perf.

I have no ad blocker softwares installed. Also Forum is a community and there should be no question of earning money out of it. I have my forum also and never put ads on it.

S

i did not waste any time....thnx to search i got it in 5 mins actually was lookin for adblock lists...

also if ur so bothered by the ads on this forum change the forum theme simple ....the ads dont work on all the themes......and btw even adsense ads r ads....... not sum entertainment

A

hmm good one there.

But truely I would dis-encourage this tuorial

becoz it can be Bad for me :wink:
