You know, those little rectangles that supposedly (and i emphasize the word 'supposedly') contain "smart" ads based on what the page is about (that "electric sirens" ad that appeared when Siren posted a lot on one thread will always stay in my mind ).
Does anybody know an html/css script/code to block them from a site (and not get the "this page could not be found/loaded" text)?
I don't want to look for ad-blocking software/plugins because
While searching for such a code/script this morning, i found countless forums where there were discussions about whether people should block Google ads or not. Reasons not to ranged from how much revenue blocking them would take away from the advertised sites or the sites the ads were on to how Google ads are not annoying to some people because they're text ads, they don't flash or have 443862589678 different colors and they don't make sounds. Well, to me they are annoying, and, as someone on one of those forums said, people who block ads are people who wouldn't click on them (and thus wouldn't bring revenue to anybody) anyway. So please don't start a discussion about that here. I'll make another thread about it if you want.

- i keep seeing FireFox plugins and not all of us use FF
- everything is for Windows, as usual
- they only work on my computer (or any computer(s) i install them on) but not for the rest of the people who read that site
