Ads in Google Mail

[ericrose]

For some reason ABP doesn't remove Google ads from Google Mail. I've removed them with Element Hiding Helper, and they seem to be of the form mail.google.com#DIV(id=:9k), the part after id=: changes. I have the Easy List, but it doesn't help here. Is it possible to write some general filter rule for removing them? Some conflict with CustomizeGoogle (I disabled 'ad removing' from it, no change)? I have Ffox 3.5b4 & ABP 1.0.2.

Can you tell me the id/class of the parent element of the "id=:" element (just press "w" one more time)?

Thanks for the answer. Sorry I'm a bit late. The ABP shows class=oM, if that helps.

Well,

Code: Select all

mail.google.com##div.oM

is already in EasyList, so they should be hidden.

There was a bug making element hiding rules not work in Firefox 3.1b3 with ABP 1.0.2. But it should work again with your combination 3.5b4/1.0.2...

Can you doublecheck your version numbers and then try if it works when you downgrade to ABP 1.0.1?

Yes, there really is a rule in EasyList of the form mail.google.com#div(class=oM), as I found, just for some unknown reason it was not enabled. I corrected the mistake, so I suppose now all should be well. Thanks for the advice.

it was not enabled.

OK, that explains it. Glad I could help.
