Blocking Ads on Tweakers.net

Skillz · Post by **Skillz** » Thu Mar 22, 2007 9:38 pm

First of all...this program rocks!

But... I've added the 3 filters of Easylist to Adblock plus, but still when I visit "http://tweakers.net" The ads popup

After trial and error I found out the following code in Usercontent.css does block the ads but I haven't got a clue what it means and or if it's sufficient enough.

This is the content of the "Usercontent.css":

Code: Select all

div[id*="advert"],
div[id*="sponsor"],
*[src*=""]
{display:none!important;}

Is there a way to add these lines into Adblock Plus?
And do these lines make sense?

Hope someone is willing to help me out.

What you posted translates to:

Code: Select all

tweakers.net#DIV(id*=sponsor)
tweakers.net#DIV(id*=advert)

There's a guide to writing element hiding filters and a supplementary extension that generates those rules for you.

@ Skillz

Sorry, I made an error when I gave your those filters on my forum and then fixed it afterward:

Stu's 2 hides are correct as that is (now) the same on my post.

@ Stu:

Thanx for doing that. I'm having a busy day here and realized that my info on my site was wrong. Sorry Skillz.

TYVM for the quick replies

So, another question. If I would leave out the tweakers.net part on the filters, would it (try to) block those ads on all sites?

I'll have a good look at the tutorial later on

Yes it would ... just be careful. Unlike ads that actually have an address or directory structure, element names are only random 'webmaster chosen' words.
