Stopping the noise with ABP?

[reepicheep]

Some people think its great to have muzac (sic) playing ont their web pages --- especially mySpace and Facebook subscribers --- however for those of us who enjoy real music their choice just sounds like noise. Can I get AdBlockPlus to suppress that garbage and leave the air free for better quality sounds.

One mySpace profile I'm looking at has a div element with an id="profile_mp3Player". Is it going to be enough for me to add an element hiding rule of

Code: Select all

myspace.com#div(profile_mp3Player)

so any and all such stupidity is expunged.

I've no idea what the equivalent on facebook might be. But thank God my laptop has a single button to mute sound.

Looks like this filter would be a better choice, it actually blocks rather than only hide:

Code: Select all

As to Facebook - do you have examples?

Thanks. Works for one page that caused me to ask the quesiton but not the random test page I tried in a second test. (What a f****** row that was.) It doesn't use the musicserver.

Also the second test has the most hideous flashing background that would induce photo-sensitive epilesy in the totally blind. And even with the aid of Firebug I couldn't figure out that to block.

As it was a random click I won't need to revisit that teeny's page ever again thank god. The adventurous can try going here but don't say I didn't warn you.

Not immediately.

You might also add this filter, as it's a 3rd party music player that auto-starts on the page load on various myspace profiles.

Unfortunately, I think it's going to be hard to block them all.
