Block ads on the right hand side of the screen when using Yahoo Mail, Hotmail, Outlook.com and Gmail thereby expanding your message space.
Removes the ads and sponsored links and squeezes out the empty space left behind by other ad blockers to give you more room to write your messages.

For Gmail users: You can choose to remove the People Widget in the options.

Great for parental control to child proof those ads. There are also options to hide various other items on your Google Mail page to make it more zen.

Good tool, adblockers provide fhis function same due to their subscription filters that commonly used for displaying adds in web mails. (yieldmanager, doubleclick, tribalfusion and others)
