I purposfully don't block the ads in Google's search because sometimes, when I'm looking for something, I have to resort to those sponsored ads. What bugs me is that I often discover that I'm following a link to a site that has nothing whatsoever to do with what I was looking for. I'm not so certain this is Google's fault as it goes more toward the keywords I'm using to generate my searches. It isn't all that surprising if I'm searching for white castle images and come up with ads for White Castle Burgers.
