Many players may already be using an adblocker, but this goes steps further, showing you how to get rid of ads almost completely, including the top banners. It also adjusts your adblocker to allow for sponsor games.
This tutorial was made partially made to advocate the use of Firefox. If you are unfamiliar with the web browser, know that it is safer and faster than Internet Explorer. Some additional advantages include advanced popup blocking, better security, and most of all, add-ons! It installs very quickly and doesn't require you to restart your computer. If you're still wary about Firefox, feel free to do a little research through any search engine. Give it a week and you won't go back. Also, I am aware that there is a similar tutorial on Sunnyneo. This is an on-site alternative and like I said, it goes further than that tutorial. I recommend it if you have IE, because my tutorial does not cover IE. Spread the word (Thanks)!

Press CTRL+SHIFT+E to launch Adblock's Preferences. Press CTRL+F to launch the find box. Type in /sponsors/*. Disable it by unchecking the box. Press OK. This adjustment should allow you to play sponsor games. I am also able to play AdverVideo & it has not affected my ad-blocking on Neopets. If it affect yours or if you notice a sponsor game is still blocked, please let me know.

step 4. four
Type in a title. Now, choose one code. You do NOT need both. The FIRST one gets rid of the top bar, the SECOND does not. Copy and paste (click inside textbox and hold Ctrl+A to select all; then hold Ctrl+C to copy) the desired code into the box.
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml); @-moz-document domain("neopets.com") { #alert_text, #ban, #ban_bottom, #contentHeaderLinks, #contentHeaderLinks .adBox, #game_preloader_msg, .ad_wrapper, .adBox2, .footerNifty, .footOverlay.sf, .brand-mamabar-logo, .brand-mamabar-list, .brand-mamabar, .ad_wrapper_fixed, .adBox sf {display: none !important; } } Gets you this (better if you want less clutter on top, and for basic site themes):

I compiled the code almost two years ago and it's longer than necessary. I'll figure out what's still needed and shorten it eventually. Until then, it won't affect you negatively.
