I made a Chrome extension a few months ago to fix the design, you'll find it here: https://github.com/attio/google-ad-fixer

I'll try and submit to the Chrome Store, let's see if it gets in :)

I also have one I submitted over the weekend. They haven't taken it down yet :). Mine is just geared towards my dislike of the favicons, not distinguishing the styling of the ads.

Nice! The results look much better without favicons, I'm going to install this too.

I just created a uBlock origin rule. It seems the extension gets the same job done by removing all HTML elements with the class "xA33Gc" or "K7JcSb" (source: https://github.com/Jtfinlay/gsearch-hidefavicon/blob/master/...).

In uBlock Origin one could add the rules:

www.google.com##.TbwUpd > .xA33Gc www.google.com##.TbwUpd > .K7JcSb

Or more generally: www.google.com##.TbwUpd > img

to hide the icons...
