I actually don't mind Google Ads because I rather often see ads for obscure
products that I find interesting and wouldn't have otherwise come across -
that's almost the textbook definition of what advertising is _supposed_ to do.

But then there are the obnoxious, foul, impolite ads full of auto-playing
videos, sound, mail order brides, scammy fake "download" buttons next to the
"real" download button.... and because of these things that pollute my
consciousness, I'll forsake the google ads as well.

If you right-click the AdBlock Plus icon in your browser and choose options,
the first option on the General tab reads "I like the text ads on Google
search results; show me those." That's what I do.

I haven't used chrome's adblock, so I got no idea too but there is this FAQ
[https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock/gighmmpiob...](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom/details?hl=en)

FAQs:

1\. This is AdBlock: the original Chrome extension written from the ground up
to be optimized for Chrome. I was inspired by the excellent Firefox "Adblock
Plus" project (which is a fork of an old Firefox "Adblock" project --
confusing, I know), but I'm not related to those, nor to "Adblock Plus For
Google Chrome", to which the old "AdThwart" extension was recently renamed.
