Removing ads from Gmail.
I've been using the hosts file for general ad removal, and for gmail, I've been using the 'remove gmail ads' extension available from the opera.extensions.It removes the banner ads when I am viewing or respinding to ads, but I am finding that there are header and footer ads that are persistent that can't be removed. Is this something that I have to wait for for an updated extension or is there an alternative that is available now?
How with the opera gmail extension work with the new look gmail?
Alright. Instead of feeding me for a day, you've taught me how to fish.
For those who are lazy like I used to be, here is the code I use to create a css file that with the gmail ad remover extension, removes all ads from all gmail pages.
div.mq {display:none !important;}
div.Zs {display:none !important;}
Just make sure that when you save the 'text' file to save it as 'Any file' or else you will create a file called Gmailheaderfooterads.css.txt

Hi,
I'd like to add that even with this, and many attempts to use Dragonfly to detect and hide the ad at the bottom of the page (when you are in a mail), it still wouldn't able to hide the thing.
I also tried ContentBlock Helper, which is supposed to detect the code needed for the div, but it couldn't function within the webpage.
So I've come to a conclusion that maybe Google has done a lot of 'layers' or something like that in the gmail page, sothat it is impossible to point to a certain element.
Note: The only thing that I was succeeded with when trying to hide this ad, is opening Dragonfly, pointing to the ad, and 'display:none' it using the right-side panel of Dragonfly. This is the only way that I could point exactly to that element (ad). Maybe anyone has an idea of why and how to convert this into a workable css?!
Thanks alot!
