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 (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
