Problem:
Some sites use fullscreen pageads that requires me to find the skip link, some sites even have a timer that requires me to wait a moment and find the link so that I can go to the content that I want.
Current solution:
Write a site specific greasemonkey/userjs script that gets me where I want to be.
Limitations of current solution:
Coding for XPath/DOM in javascript is tricky.
A unique script for each site is required.
Request:
When presented with such a page I'd like to be able to tell the adblocker that whenever I get this page I really want this here link loaded instead.
This should also work for pages that do fullscreen ads with the help of a giant layer on top of the content and have a 'close' button.
Also, if big ass rockets could be attached to it that'd be real sexy, yeah.
feature request: page/layer skipping
I know this, you should know that I know this when you read that I muck about in DOM and XPath.
If a script is embedded it's results may be blockable, but then again it may decide to do something else on the next refresh, like for instance give that layer a random name so as to throw of abp or pull ads from another server so you get to add more URL blocks that inadequately keeps you sane.
More often than not, blocking the .js that created the intermittent page will give you a blank ad page that can not be moved on from.
No, using a redirect is not good enough, buttons need to be clicked in order to create a valid server request. POST data and referrer can and are checked.
The more I write the more annoyed I become at your reply... but thanks for playing

some sites like to include ad bits in external JS that performs useful functions. This is where it would be handy to have a Policies Extension for firefox 2.x. I'm not JS savvy enough to use JS policies to block particular annoying functions from certain sites.white page

That site is just an example of going to the default domain page instead of the REAL homepage which is:ecjs wrote:Here is such a website : www.jeuxvideo.com
jeuxvideo.com/etajvbis.htm
The default domain page is just an ad that redirects to the REAL homepage after it is done. This is not a problem if you just enter the correct page. I actually made a request to Wladimir a while back to see if there was a way in ABP to redirect one page to another. Like:
Code: Select all
jeuxvideo.com/index.htm$redirect>jeuxvideo.com/etajvbis.htm
