Comodo Dragon with AdBlock Plus, Do Not Track Plus & Ghostery installed and enabled.....and still the ads get through.  If I put it into Incognito mode then they stop. Interestingly, if I disable AdBlock Plus, DNTP & Ghostery I get two sponsored ads instead of one. Makes me glad I use Firefox  |

Interestingly, people still use Google.

No adds here using Crome with AdBlock -- have you tried clicking that "why these adds?" link and see if it's something you can disable perhaps?  |

No adds here using FF & Adblock - I wonder is it a European vs. US thing (me & Jibz being in eu/europe) |

I'm down under But yes, I tried disabling/enabling AdBlock/DNTMP/Ghostery a few times, (this is only in Dragon), and it's come good, ie. no ads. Don't know what happened, maybe it managed to sneak in an extension update while I wasn't looking. Firefox, (plus addons), has always blocked the ads - that's my main browser. Dragon is my portable browser. |

Most google search results now are tied to your location and social network. Start by getting rid of that Gmail account if you have one.

Yikes. They must also have some kind of location thing using your IP address by region because when I type "pizza" I get *eight* listings for local restaurants in my town! I'm not even logged in to any Google services!  I don't yet know what I have to fiddle with to turn that off. |

Good enough that I don't use Google anyway. I've used Startpage or the related Ixquick (one day when startpage was misbehaving on me). Not many ads there.

Does anyone know how to remove the "google ads" from the results listings using either ABP or ad muncher?

I'm not even logged in to any Google services! They've had IP based ads for years - although I don't normally see them due to Firefox addons. Does anyone know how to remove the "google ads" from the results listings using either ABP or ad muncher? Here's mine for AdBlock:   And when you open AdBlocks Blockable Items list, I have:  The three items blocked are: Bottom Ads, Right-Hand-Side Column and Top Ads. |
