Take back the browser!

Javascript is typically in a script tag in your own pages, but you can also use javascript in other contexts.

Who's Next?

 var newdiv = document.createElement('div');
 document.body.appendChild(newdiv)

 var delme = document.getElementById("ads");
 delme.parentNode.removeChild(delme);
