it looks like that filter works, it blocks the text that reads "ads by Google" but it still shows the background, and the curved corners. I have tried this on multiple sites with the same results. this is more than sufficient, I was just getting frustrated with having broken sections. thank you.
how did you know to use "@@/pagead2.googlesyndication.com/*$script,subdocument" ? (trying to learn so I don't have to ask anymore)
