search - Way of browsing many Google ads in one place

Quite often I end up seeing an advertisement (Provided by Adwords, most often) while I am waiting between page (re)loads, only to react too slowly to right-click and (hopefully) copy any kind of link.
Don't suppose anyone knows of a way of browsing / querying the database of Google Ads?
P.S I am aware I can setup a proxy inline with the internet connection, to capture enough data to go back and figure out what ad it was, and some form of relative data. However, I can't seem to find the time to implement this (ironically, it will likely be faster using this, than searching/browsing a database of many ads, but I digress), hence am looking for a workaround for the time being.

I'm trying to find a tutorial I found months ago but it looks like it's disappeared off the face of the planet. I thought I would have better luck looking through my Google Chrome browsing history but I can't see history past September. Can I force Google Chrome to display history further into the past? Can I retrieve the history manually from a directory? Is the history data gone?

No, Chrome only stores the browsing history for the last 10 weeks.
Use the History page to view a list of websites you've ever visited in the last 10 weeks while using Google Chrome in standard mode.

Actually there is an "Archived History" file which contains the old (probably the whole, but not sure about that) history of browsing. It can be viewed with an SQL database viewer. Also, it only contains visits. http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Google_Chrome#History

Yes the history will have gone by now, the only way to get it would be restoring from a backup if you have one from back then?
