description

This is the Greasemonkey script to remove ads in Google Reader.

configuration

If you want to modify prefixes, you can do it from about:config. I show you how to configure below.
  1. Input "about:config" into the location bar of Firefox.
  2. Filter with "greasemonkey.scriptvals.http://matatabi.homeip.net" and you will find
    • "Google Reader Remove Ads.ad_title_prefixes"
    • Google Reader Remove Ads.ad_url_prefixes"
  3. Change them as you like.
    • ad_title_prefixes:
      List of prefixes of entry title like ["PR", "AD"].
      These are used to match the entry titles.
    • ad_url_prefixes:
      List of prefixes of URLs like ["http://spam.example.com/", "http://feedads.example.com/"].
      These are used to match imgs, anchors, and iframes.
