Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

What we understood from your question is that you want to run these ads on your blog through the “Google AdSense” program to get money from Google, which in turn has collected money from the advertisers who contracted with it to publish their ads.

Then if the site allows its clients to block what they do not want to display on their sites, and to filter the ads they display, in a way that allows them to control what is displayed, then there is nothing wrong with dealing with it, and earning from displaying permissible ads.

Allah knows best.
