Is there a posibility to block the "Sponsored Web Tipp powered by Yahoo! Search Marketing" ads? They link to overture, but I found no script generating them... I cannot believe that they are build in textads...

Any ideas?

That's a regular frame, "http://www.chip.de/c_overture/*" blocks it.

thanks.

sorry, I must have been blind, even adblocks context menu is telling, that I can block this as a frame...

same page, but another problem:

On the left sight there are some adlinks ("Sponsored Links"). I tried to block them by DIV-blocking ("chip.de#div(bullet)"), but this kills too much ("Neue Downloads" and "Top-Themen" will be blocked too).

Has someone a idea how to block this? It is not generated by javascript, so the only chance is some kind of DIV-blocking, because it is build into the website.
Is it possible to block/hide this?

Rather difficult one - this block is no different than any other block in their sidebar. You can only kill it with raw CSS, using the fact that if follows the redaktionslinks_bottom block:

Code: Select all

chip.de##div.redaktionslinks_bottom+div.overflow165px

That rule is for the current development builds aka Adblock Plus 0.7, it won't work in earlier versions.

nice, nice! works perfectly!
How do I generate such filter on my own? Will it be discussed detailed in the FAQ? What does the "+" mean? Why two "#" and not one? Why "." instead of brackets? Are there also other possibilities/functions?

(If it will be in the FAQ, you do not need to explain everything here!)

It will be in the FAQ - but only the plain statement that you can use raw CSS. Syntax is domain1,domain2,domain3##css_selector. List of domains is optional, and CSS selector can be anything Firefox supports - and here http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/selector.html is the reference (in this case it is an adjacent sibling selector).
