[sorry, I first posted this question in the wrong topic when it should belong in here]

Hi,

I am a fan of ABP. Still, there is a feature which I would really like (if it is not implemented yet): blocking the images/frames which contain links to given websites. Let me explain.

Often, the image belongs to the original domain (e.g. www.originalwebsite.com/advertisingcompany.gif), but the link is then similar to www.advert.originalwebsite.com/adv1. In this case, I cannot block the Ad because I do not know the name of all advertising companies... but still, I know that the links always have a well defined structure, so I would like to block images/frames which contain this link.

Is this possible in ABP now? If not, any chances it gets implemented?

One example is the top ad of the website http://dict.leo.org/ , a popular English-German dictionary.

Thanks!

I think you mean this element hiding rule:

Code: Select all

dict.leo.org#a(href^=http://advert.leo.org/)
