Hi, I'm not sure how many of you are using AdBlockPlus and noticed google Ads appearing when you search for some product (eg: ssl certificate).
It seems AdBlockPlus whitelisted Google because Google is paying money to them. Not only google, there are lot of companies paying AdBlockPlus for whitelisting, http://dottech.org/25096/what-is-acceptable-ads-and-how-to-disable-it-adblock-plus/ This webpage discusses about why AdBlockPlus allows Ads. It also shows how to quickly disable "acceptable-ads". But I feel, sooner or later, AdBlockPlus will remove the checkbox and not going to provide a way for user to disable "acceptable-ads". I felt betrayed by AdBlockPlus. So, thought of doing something to remove the Google Ads myself. Then I came around greasemonkey and its ability to manipulate DOM. I started writing my first greasemonkey script and finished with 'DisableGoogleAds.user.js' which will remove advertisements from google whenever you visit google websites. I have uploaded it to userscripts.org. If you don't want google ads in your browser, then follow the steps, 1) install greasemonkey extension 2) go to http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/174141 3) click install button on the top right corner. 4) enable the script in Tools->Greasemonkey->Manage User Scripts Thats it. hope you enjoy google advertisement free web.
