google is leet =) keep them, but if oyu use firefox than theres a way most likly.


Download and install Mozilla Firefox. It's a superior browser, and it should be your default browser. Internet Explorer (IE) just doesn't cut it anymore.
Install the Adblock extension.
Restart Firefox to complete Adblock's installation.
Go to the Tools > Extensions menu, highlight Adblock, and click the Options button.
In the New Filter: input box, paste this: http://*.googlesyndication.com/*
Ensure that in the Adblock preferences window, it is set to Remove ads, not Hide ads.
Never see another Google ad!





Another hack, edit your etc/hosts and add

127.0.0.1 pagead2.googlesyndication.com

If XP, edit c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Putting the following entries in your HOSTS file may work:

127.0.0.1 adwords.google.com
127.0.0.1 pagead.googlesyndication.com
127.0.0.1 pagead2.googlesyndication.com
127.0.0.1 adservices.google.com
127.0.0.1 www.googleadservices.com
127.0.0.1 apps5.oingo.com

If you are using Firefox, then check out the CustomizeGoogle extension.

Yes, I do use Firefox.

Holy Crap, i installed the ext. and it works like a charm. I was more than half expecting to see a response of it cannt be done.

On side note, how can I remove these google ads from other websites (those who use Ads By Google technology) ?

If you disable Javascript, then you will disable the google ads.
