How To Remove The Ads In Gmail

Do you find the text ads in GMail to annoying? If you do, you can use Firefox to hide the ads.

This trick uses CSS and the Firefox configuration file named userContent.css . Before we start modifying our userContent.css file, I would recommend that you install an extension named ChromeEdit :

that simplifies the process of modifying your Firefox configuration files. So before you enter the CSS code listed below, go and install this extension (note: you’ll need to restart your browser after installation, so you may want to bookmark this page).

Now that you have CromeEdit installed, click on the Firefox Tools menu and then click on the menu item labeled Edit User Files. A new window will appear that has five tabs across the top. Click on the tab that is labeled userContent.css. Next copy the CSS code below and paste it into the userContent.css file, then click the Save button.

#rh table[class=”metatable”]{display: none !important;}
#rh div[class=”c”] {display: none !important;}

Now, restart your browser and open GMail – the ads are gone!

Heh, I am sure some people are bothered by the ads, but persoanally I never really notice em.

Good tip though.

I don't mind the ads, they help Gmail stay free. Thanks for the tip though!

The ads are annoying? They are barely noticeable. And they help ensure that the service remains fast (and continues to grow in storage space).

I personally like the ads since they'er mainly text. I hate Hotmail ads; they're just too repetitive .

Thanks for the link though, DG :tu: !

I don't mind the ads, and sometimes it actually is something interesting and I click on it and end up finding a good service/site that I wouldn't have known about previously... there's no need to remove them.
