Take back the browser!
Javascript is typically in a script tag in your own pages, but you can also use javascript in other contexts.
[[Greasemonkey]] allows you to write scripts that can be installed in your browser and used to '''filter''' your browsing, by dynamically altering pages to change it appearance, content, or behaviour.

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