There are all sorts of great uses for the Greasemonkey extension, but one of my all time favorites is using it to prevent advertisements.  The first thing most people think of when they think of advertisements is Google AdSense, and there are a large number of scripts available that can influence the behavior of Google AdSense.  

I’ve gone ahead and compiled a list of the better Google AdSense Greasemonkey scripts that I could find.  In order to use these, you will need to have the Greasemonkey extension installed in your Firefox web browser.  

Google AdSense Greasemonkey Scripts

  • Google AdSense Auto-Login – Automatically logs you into your Google AdSense account.
  • Google AdSense EPC/CPC – Shows the Earnings Per Click (EPC) you’re getting in your Google Adsense reports. Also known as Cost Per Click (CPC).
  • Google AdSense Removal – Removes Google AdSense advertisements and sponsored links from web pages you visit, as well as removing the advertisements from Gmail.  Also gives you the options to allow advertisements on designated pages.
  • Google Search AdSense Removal – Removes AdSense advertisements from Google’s search results.
  • Prevent Accidental Clicks – Makes it so you can’t accidentally click on your own advertisements on your website.   Requires you to enter your AdSense Indentification Number.
  • Replace Google/Yahoo Ads - Replaces Google AdSense and Yahoo! advertisements with a box that says “Advertisement removed.”  This way you can see who is using ads, but not have to view them.
