The recommended way to install user styles is to use Firefox with Stylish.

If you already have Firefox with Stylish, make sure this site is allowed to run JavaScript.

This style removes some ads (sponsored links) on the Google results page and gives Google a new appearance.
Seems to look good on the search page results. Tested with Firefox 2, not with Opera.

You can also try the Google: no ads and compact style, which is a fork of this one and of the Google Compact one. You can also try the much more beautiful but less ad blocking google: pastle blue.

Bellow the details:
- recolorization of links (link, active, visited and hover) to the colors of the Google logo,
- add an indent for the text below the URL of the result,
- relax the width of the results to optimize the use of the available vertical space (less scrolling),
- add a round border to each result with a blue background,
- add an hover effect that makes this background and its border respectively switch to yellow and red (Google logo colors again).

Changelog (25/08/2009):
- fix the total result width to 100% (broken after a small Google update)

Changelog (23/12/2008):
- apply (lately, sorry …) the fix proposed by kongondo (thanks to him)
- globally change all 'div.g' in '.g' selectors to be more change proof (Google has improved their page with a <ol> <li> structure)
- add another correction to prevent unnecessary line-break (disable max-width of the class 's')
- remove the 2px border on :hover to avoid the little sliding effect

Changelog (27/03/07):
- add compatibility with Google preview extension for Firefox
- compact style for the <a> tag

Changelog (26/03/07):
- apply some of the corrections made by Nelson in his Google: no ads and compact style both on CSS and domain where applied
- add some domains added in Google: no ads and compact
- refactoring of add blocking to be more specific
- restrict the use of this script to only Google search results page
