Since a couple of days ago I started getting Google ads under the Promotions tab of Gmail. I clicked on the Ad settings, opt out of it and edited and deleted all possible interest topics than somehow were there, but I'm still getting the ads, and they are starting to piss me off.
Is there a way to get rid of these on gmail?
I'm always right. The only time I was wrong was the time that I thought, that I was wrong.

Opting out does not remove ads it only removes ads that are geared towards your interests based on sites you visit, your location, etc...

The best thing to do is install "adblock plus" and "webmail ad blocker" plugins in your browser to help with the ads. Use a browser such as firefox or google chrome.

Thanks for the tip, I will try them on.

Adblock Plus is great!.
My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."

Gents...

Please be aware that plug-ins like Adblock, which block ads, will stop ads at places like Remote Central as well. Please make sure that Adblock is disabled for sites you'd like to support, so they continue to get revenue for serving you those ads...

Or, I'm sure Daniel accepts donations from those who'd rather not see ads here either.

I found that besides AdBlock Plus there is also AdBlock Super. Does anyone knows what is the difference between them? I've done some research but I haven't found a comparison yet.
By the way I installed both of them, but still getting the adds at the g-mail. It looks like the adds are coming from my mobile phone.
