Removing ads in Gmail

You might have noticed that simply by using Ad Block Plus you cannot remove certain ads on the page. For example right-hand ads in Gmail. This is happening because these ads are pasted directly into HTML code of the page and are not a part of Iframe, Image or Flash objects. Fear not.
There is still a solution:

1. Get "Stylish" add-on to Firefox here. This will allow you to apply CSS styles on url-based terms.
2. Restart Firefox.
3. Go here and click "Load into Stylish"
4. Go to your Gmail and refresh the page, the ads should be gone and you now have some additional breathing space in your inbox.

Enjoy!

Note: this does not prevent Google from indexing your inbox and serving content-based ads, only makes them invisible.
