How to block this ad on SpaceDaily ?

[JDlugosz]

Take a look at SpaceDaily.com. With the normal filters installed, there is still a grey bar after the first group of 6 article summaries, that contains a memory foam mattress ad and meta-ad information.

How would I remove that? The enclosing items (center > table > tbody ) don't have a special style to match against.

Is this doable using the item feature of ABP, without much fear of false positives? Or would it be better done using a different technology, such as stylist or greasemonkey? Using GM I could certainly find the table with a bgcolor that contains "MARKETPLACE AND CLASSIFIEDS" somewhere within some contained element. Is that doable with a single XPATH expression?

Code: Select all

CSS (ABP, Stylish) is better because it will hide ads as the page loads. JavaScript (GM) or XPATH-based hiding (RIP) will only operate after the page has loaded.
