ixquick &start page: block/hide sponsored results/containers

[RobBee]

Hello!

I did like to know if there is a way to block or hide the sponsored results at startpage.com and ixquick.com.
I have tried to hide the div,id: sponsored_container with element hiding helper and tried to block /graphics/results_back.gif.

Without effect, the sponsored results are still displayed.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I dont see any sponsored results using easylist+ easyprivacy

the filter used

Code: Select all

~hollywood.com,~worldsbestbars.com###sponsored

Code: Select all

###sponsored

Code: Select all

startpage.com###sponsored
ixquick.co.uk###sponsored
ixquick.com###sponsored

Also hidden here.

Do you have the non intrusive option selected, this might be your problem?

Argh! Yes, thats it! Simple,.
I reinstalled adblock and as i use the shortcuts and the rightclick-menu, i did not notice that "non intrusive option" at all.
It's enabled by default since version 2.0, good to know. Filter is working fine now,

Thanks to everybody for replying/ trying to help me!! Problem solved.


ps: using easylist +easylist germany and some personal filters

I tried everything you said (I do not authorize non-intrusive adds, I use Easy List and Easy Privacy, I have

Code: Select all

###sponsored 

and

Code: Select all

##div#sponsored

rules), and sponsored results still appear. I have the same problem with the #tip div on start page. Such rules work fine on other web sites. Any idea why?

[caro]

Ok, actually,

Code: Select all

##div#sponsored

seems to work on ixquik, but not on startpage. I verified, and the div id is the same...

Few hours later, realised that I had an exception for startpage...

Code: Select all

@@||startpage.com^$elemhide

Problem solved!
