How to Block, Hide or Remove Windows Live Mail Ads ?

by shashank on August 1, 2010

in Windows

Initially few people like me  hated Hotmail for its  look. But the new aavtar of Hotmail with loads of new features, improved performance etc drew more attention  of me and  many others.

Right now , there are 100 Million users using HotMail. Hotmail is now a strong alternative to GMail — even for seasoned geeks like you and me!

Are you too annoyed by the big vertical billboard  on right side of your inbox : ?

How to remove  ad from your Hotmail inbox  : ?

All you need is the Windows Live Ad Remover Userscript.

Chrome users can simply click the install button at the top of the page.

Firefox users will need to install the Greasemonkey add-on first

Safari users need Greasekit.

Opera users who aren’t sure how to install Userscripts can check this post for help.

Internet Explorer users can try either Trixie or IE7Pro, ( In IE to be true none of them worked for me :(   )

So Hotmail guys, I really DO have a very clean inbox , What about you  ?

I have downloaded, and installed IEpro7, and I also installed your hotmail ad blocker script, but I’m still getting the ad panel in hotmail? I’ve tried all the suggestions you have already posted several times, but nothing seems to help. I’m running IE8, but I read that the later versions on IEpro7 were compatible with IE8. Do you have any other ideas as to what I can do to get rid of the annoying ad panel? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

dude….
even i tried it..

I went back to IE7, and it still doesn’t get rid of the damn ad panel in hot mail???? When I go to reply, or start a new message the panel is gone, but when I go to my junk mail, or in box to read my messages it’s still there?

Very strange behavior for the script. :(

Due to the lack of official support for IEPro in IE8, my first recommendation would be for you to look into using Firefox, the GreaseMonkey extension (to run scripts), and the specific script that removes Hotmail’s ads. If you choose that option, I’ll be happy to help you….

Most people dont like the hotmail when it design was not good. But after microsoft updated the design of hotmail, people started using it services more. But still Hotmail is lagging behind gmail and yahoo mail.

Thank you very much for this fantastic post; this is the kind of post that keeps me going through the day. I’ve been searching around for your site after I heard about them from a friend and was thrilled when I was able to find it after searching for some time. Being an avid blogger, I’m pleased to see others taking initiative and contributing to the community. I just wanted to comment to show my appreciation for your work as it’s very encouraging, and many writers do not get the credit they deserve. I’m sure I’ll be back and will send some of my friends.
