Block This !!

Post by Hubird »

I went to this site http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/tom-keating ... update.asp and wanted to know how to block the in line text ads from Amazon with out blocking the Amazon site itself. I have the easylist and easyelement filters installed but they don't block these ads. thanks for any help on this.

I also have Easylist and Easyelement, they work perfectly for me on that site.

Go to that site again, press ctrl+shift+b and check that list of any green lines.

If there are green lines, it means you have whitelisted those ads.

Whitelisting ads = BAD idea

Also verified that there are no amazon ads with the EasyList. Either ABP Fan is correct in his assumption that you have whitelisted @@amazon.com ... or the filter:

Code: Select all

http://rcm.amazon.
... has been disabled in your list.

Are you using other filters besides my two?

Okay sorry, I think we all misunderstood this sentence.

I checked the site some more and found this:

A popup ad when you mouse over, sorta (I don't know what they are called :P ).Perhaps you referred to this?

In that case I think this code can help for what you want:

Code: Select all

tmcnet.com#DIV(id=overDiv)

Actually, it would be much better to block the script producing those popups - thereby
preventig their content being loaded - instead of just hiding them when they are loaded:

Code: Select all

http://blog.tmcnet.com/cgi-bin/overlib.js
Be careful to use this filter with a full domain part and not just overlib.js, as that is a
very popular script to produce hover effects.

That's such a great idea, thanks. I'll try to remember that trick.

Damn intellitext clone! Odd because the rest of TMC uses 'intellitext'.
