This is my first greasemonkey script. It uses CSS and DOM to remove ads on about.com pages. It also changes outgoing links to be direct rather than through redirect, because about uses this method to add ads to external links.

Updated to remove sidebar ads and a couple other junk items from the pages (see comment below). Thanks to all who have rated and commented the script.
