Deal sections of comparison widgets (deals are ads)

Post by Guest »

Hi,

Is there any way to block just the "Deals" tab of widgets like WhistleOut's? e.g. See the RHS of this page.

Product comparison tables can't reliably be considered ads, even if they only list or feature those who pay them.

However a featured deal is usually just an ad.

Code: Select all

||whistleout.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/deals/*
that should block only the deals,

Can someone else help me out to make the rule more generic ?

That works to remove the images!

The Deals tab and content can be removed by

Code: Select all

#li(id=wo-widget-tab-0)
#div(id=wo-widget-tab-content-0)
False positives could be eliminated by only matching when they're in a div of class "wo-widget-wrap".
