Sometimes I just want to block obnoxious ads. Can I allow the text-based Google ads (not just the ones in search results) without allowing all ads on a domain? I'd like to block ads with movement and sound.

   A fairly comprehensive way to allow ads like this is to add ABP's Acceptable Ads whitelist as a subscription (although I don't think AdBlock supports sitekey, so certain whitelist rules won't work): https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/exceptionrules.txt

   As I look through that text file, I suspect that the way to enable all text-based Google ads is to add the following exception filters as custom filters:

   • @@||google.com/uds/?file=ads^$script

   • @@||google.com/ads/search/module/ads/*/search.js

   There might be some more well-targeted whitelists for allowing all Google text-based ads; the ones I posted above are based on the Acceptable Ads whitelist but more general, rather than being targeted at particular whitelisted sites.
