So far so good.

Works automatically for regular gmail and for google apps after https://mail.google.com/a/* is added to greasemonkey.

Thanks!

I was really hoping for something that would just delete/skip the "sponsored link" messages rather than removing the entire web clips bar.

So I built my own script that does just that: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/52619

Sorry to plug on your script Joe, but mine is better ;-)

Worked up until this week. I suppose Google changed their underlying code again.

For what it's worth, the Gmail sponsored links are still gone for me; perhaps there is some additional factor at play?

[People, please be aware that Google changes its code evrytime so that those scripts cease to work; its their google bizness to get us readers to be drowned into google ads for better google profits, hence its fairly logical that scripts like that works bad, briefly or not at all.] Drives me mad though, not only me but to see my kids with 25% of screen devoted to ads when they mail their friends.Urgh. Please keep trying.
