Adblock Plus

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: blocks all of them which is too much.


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

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.
