Blocking Gmail ads with CustomizeGoogle
As some of you might have noticed, CustomizeGoogle has been updated a lot recently. The reason is that when Google update their source code - sometimes CustomizeGoogle needs to be updated as well.
The last three CustomizeGoogle updates has been focused at blocking Gmail ads. I've been trying to remove the ads for a while, with different results for different users. A lot of CustomizeGoogle users has reported that Gmail ads are still visible. So my guess is that this is a popular CustomizeGoogle feature.
As a result, I've now released CustomizeGoogle 0.44 that should remove all Gmail ads/related pages. I hope that this update will work for everyone and that Gmail doesn't change their code in a while.
In any case, I'll try to keep up with future Google updates!

The gmail ad blocking works fine, thanks. However, the froogle ad-blocking has been broken for me for a while.

hi. love your extension, thanks for making it. have an observation about the ad blocking on gmail. i run win98 and when i block the ads then check my previous mail i get a dialog box saying *warning: unresponsive script*. i can click on the *continue* button and it disappears and everything is normal, just wondering if there's anyway to make it so that dialog box doesn't show up. thanks again, your extension really kicks ass. i'm a member of mozillazine, you can contact me there if you need more info.
Customize Google is great, at least for me it always worked great, a feature you could add is the ability to remove googles yellow bars saying you should/can use search history (for people that don't care about personalized search)
Love it! Absolutely great extension.
I was looking at info on how you accomplish the 'anonymoize uuid' function. Any pointers would be appreciated.
If I may request a feature.. my cookies are set to die as soon as I close the browser, so it is hard for me to save google preferences. Mainly turn safesearch off -> Do not filter my search results. This can be accomplished by adding &safe=off to the URL, but it is a pain in the left nut to do it for every individual search. An option to achieve the same effect would be nice.
Thanks again for writing this great extension. And more for maintaining it.
I like the CG extension, but I really feal like its unfair to block googles ads. I never minded the ads on the search page or in my Gmail window. Isn't google loosing money because we remove their ads and use they're service for free?
This extension is very useful. But I want google ads displayed on the right side of the search page. Can you provide a toggle for it. I really miss the ads, as they are very useful for searching information.
Otherwise, this is a very well thought and useful utility.
Viewing ads is a must. Just a toggle please.
If share the money, ads on gmail also ok. Give freedom to user is good.
