    Is this quite common? A large corporate institution over here has decided to implement proxy rules to stop any google ads being displayed on any webpages.

    Yes. All computers...in the 1000's ... webpages displayed okay, except no ads from google now shown.

    Ads are ads. If you want to block ads, you will also block Google AdSense ads.

    IMHO this is the real downside of the most aggregious MFA sites . . . . ad blocking is the only way to know the difference between content and ads.

    I have been under the impression AdSense does not use tracking cookies. If it does, then they are going to be blocked the same as any other ad server because we are immediately involved with privacy and security issues.

    Our company proxy server did remove Google ads with all the other ads it removes. But then we started working heavily with Google adwords, and that filter was removed

    our company filters adsense and other ads ( I think its more on filtering javascript includes than just specific ads)

    Where I work they disable java, I'm pretty sure that's why I don't see the ads from there. But we still get annoying pop ups. They should be using Firefox instead of IE. Go figure.

    Here's a way to solve the problem. Get all adsense publishers and google to come up with a way to block pages from displaying on computers that blocks adsense! There goes 90% of internet content to those guys!
