for privacy, want to hide my gmail address on google sites

[redoctagon]

Hello,

On the top right-hand corner of every webpage of a google site (google.com, gmail, google docs, google calendar, google reader, etc) is my gmail address. I would like to have an Adblock filter that blocks it from showing. What string should I add to the list of filters?

(For the curious, I surf the web sometimes at public places).

try:

Code: Select all

google.com###gbi4t

or

Code: Select all

google.com##[href="//www.google.com/profiles"]

mapx,

Excellent! It worked. Thank you.

A. I noted that when on a non-dotcom ending (for example, google.ca), the two filters you've suggested don't hide the gmail address.

B. Also, is there a way to keep the first character or two of the gmail address visible (for example, larrypage@gmail.com becomes "la" or "la @gmail.com" or "_____ge@gmail.com")? This is for 2 reasons:
1. On the Web search (google.com), it would help confirm that I am indeed logged in.
2. On apps like gmail or docs, it would help me quickly know which google account i've logged into.

A. add also the same filter but using google.ca (so, you'll have 2 hiding filters)
B. not possible, but you still have to the right the profile icon (you can click the little arrow to see your account name)

mapx,

a) thanks. adding the dot-ca endings did it.
b) There's no drop-down triangle. Perhaps the triangle appears only for those who have a Google Plus account.

b) yep, I have G+. So, sign in G+ (its the same google account ...)

I'm scared of social networking. No thanks.
