So G**gle’s gone evil. Read this or this. It’s clear that they became behemoth which stopped treating their users customers with respect. And don’t even get me started on their deal with China and self censoring in order to broaden their ad audience. This made me start to think: how users can express their disgust? Maybe you can switch to some other search engine? That’s a great move but you’re still will be exposed to their money-making-machine – AdSense. It became so widespread that you don’t even know what an ad is and what the non-ad content is these days. Fortunately there’s a super easy way to disable AdSense on your machine once for all – no more stinky ‘Sponsored links’ sections polluting web pages! Just grab and run gKiller and it will G**gle-proof your machine. May the force be with you!

P.S.: If you’re wondering what this tool does – it blocks certain G**gle servers by adding them to hosts file and causing name lookup to return loopback address. Tested on XPSP2.

P.P.S: Here’s an example of ‘polluted’ page before and after gKiller.

see the difference ? Enjoy!

Let's spank G**gle!
