Block div containing text/link?

[her34]

Is it possible to block an element based on text contained within it?

For example on this website:
http://videosift.com/

I'd like to block certain types of videos.

This rule:

Code: Select all

videosift.com##DIV.sift

blocks all of them which is too much.


So if i got sick of charlie sheen videos i wish i could put something like

Code: Select all

videosift.com##DIV.sift//a[(text()="charlie sheen")]

Unfortunately, that's not possible with Adblock Plus.

In ABP you have two kind of rules.

Blocking rules aim the URL of external objects. Like the site loads a banner from the adserver "ad.example.com" and the rule will be something like ||example.com^ or .example. Anything that comes from an URL containing the keyword ".example." will be blocked.

Element Hiding rules aim to HTML elements using CSS selectors or inheritance. Like your videosift.com##DIV.sift rule above. This rule DOES NOT BLOCK, it hides all the DIVs whose CLASS is "sift", by changing their CSS "display" property.
