Slideshow on market.android.com

[Alan]

https://market.android.com/ has a huge annoying slideshow of featured apps at the top of the page. I don't want to download the images or show the slideshow at all. It seems to me that the following filters are sufficient. Does anyone see a problem with how I'm doing this or suggest a better way?

To block the slideshow and downloading of images:

Code: Select all

|https://market.android.com/static/client/js/1376791663-site_js_compiled_site_js.js

To hide the slideshow:

Code: Select all

market.android.com##.banner-carousel.stripes

Edit: Blocking the script also disables the page navigation buttons at the bottom of a search result page. It looks like I may have to settle for just hiding it.

Have you tried the following filters?

Code: Select all

||ssl.gstatic.com/android/market/*/hi-256-
||ssl.gstatic.com/android/market/*/f-1024-

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, Michael. It turns out that some of the urls start with "www.gstatic" and others end with "f-609-*". The ones ending in "hi-256-*" all seem to correspond to app icons in the market itself. The following appear to work, at least so far.

Code: Select all

||gstatic.com/android/market/*/f-1024-
||gstatic.com/android/market/*/f-609-

With the images blocked, the element hiding filter is no longer necessary, so I'm going to eliminate it. If the current filters aren't sufficient, then I'll be able to see which images slip through.
