New: Google Images - Remove Ad Block
Found some time to write a filter for an ad block I found on Google Images. Apparently the ad block appears on popular search items (like Edward Cullen), and only on the first page.

Code:
[Patterns]
Name = "Google Images: Remove Ad Blocks     x.xx.xx [sd ku] (d.s) WIP1"
Active = TRUE
URL = "$TYPE(htm)images.google."
Limit = 2500
Match = "<table width="100%" cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>$INEST(<table,</table>)</table>"
Replace = "\r\n<!-- PROX-S: Removed by Google Images Ad Block Filter (gimg.ad) -->\r\n"
          "$SET(sSpec=$GET(sSpec)gimg.ad)"

Test: http://images.google.com/images?gbv=1&hl...&oq=edward

I don't see it here. Firefox, with German and US IP address.
Are you still getting the non-JS version (where "Google Images: Direct Links" matches)?

I see... If you add...
Code:
images.google.$SET(sAdKey=.wia.)
...to AdKeys-S, does the table collapse for you?

IE is content sniffing text/plain documents and, if they contain HTML, renders them. Now, that attachment contains HTML, as well as a script saying "if you are a recent browser, then request my JS enhanced version (over at Google)".

That's probably what you're seeing. If that document had come from a Google server instead of prxbx.com, the script would be blocked by the config.
