Thanks bunches for this. I’ve been having horrendous problems the last few weeks with trying to get some sites to load. What a pain!
The adblocker add-on for firefox worked great though.

I edited the hosts file and even though I don´t see the ads themselves I still have this vertical strip that says “page not found”. It´s really annoying cause its practically in the middle of the page i´m trying to see. Anyway to get rid of that, too???

Anonymous: These methods will only remove Google Adsense ads used by webmasters on their own sites. They won’t remove Google ads found on Google’s own sites (e.g. GMail – you’ll have to use the CustomizeGoogle extension for that).

If it is the adsense ads you’re trying to remove, make sure you edit the hosts file as described, save it, restart your browser and clear the browser’s cache. Then try loading a page with Adsense ads, e.g. adsenseguide.info. If you’re still having problems, let me know which browser you’re using.

Nice and easy solutions, specially the one with the hosts.conf file.
