Few days back, we shared a way to block unwanted ads & sponsored links in Gmail. Another useful add-on/extension is here which can block advertisements in Yahoo mail, Gmail and Hotmail on your Firefox and Chrome browser.
WebMail Ad Blocker is a handy add-on which allows users to block/hide/disable/remove all those unwanted ads which show up along with emails in sidebar, thereby expanding your message space. There are options also to hide various other items on pages.
Add-on for Firefox | Extension for Chrome [Requires Chrome Beta]
Note – It adds a Webmail Ad Blocker donation link to your web client which can be easily removed. To hide it, follow the way below for your desired browser:
Firefox – Open Tools > Add-ons > Extensions tab. Open Webmail Ad Blocker Options and uncheck the box saying ‘Webmail Ad Blocker’ Link. Click OK
Chrome – Open extensions from Tools menu or type chrome://extensions/ in address bar. Open Webmail Ad Blocker Options and uncheck the box saying ‘Webmail Ad Blocker’ link.
Do share your views with us if you like this post 😀
I think you followed my advice.
thanks… this works
This only works if I make my browser over 1200 pixels wide.
Previously I used Yahoo Mail Cleaner but somehow it stopped giving me back the ad space even though the ads were still absent. You give me the ad space, but my browser has to be over 1200 pixels wide in order to see the mail scroll bars, etc. In other words, it doesn’t expand and contract with browser width. My goal was to be able to use my normal browser width, more like 1000 pixels wide.
