Element hiding not always working (Vivaldi)

[SirWumpus]

https://vivaldi.com/ 1.4.589.38 (Stable channel) (32-bit) is a Chromium browser using the Chrome Adblock Plus 1.12.4

The filter: ##div[id^="MarketGid"]
The page:

Code: Select all

https://1337x.to/popular-movies

ad-bar bottom of the page (other pages it appears top of page).

This and other filters fail to work in either normal or Incognito windows. In Firefox the same filter and page is correctly filtered.

Additional information: I've tested this on two different Windows 7 laptop (home and work) and the same
problem appears in both places.

I've included my custom filters from the work laptop:

Code: Select all

...

[mapx]

the webrequest api is different in chrome, so ABP for chrome cannot hide the elements with !important keyword

however, add

Code: Select all

1337x.to##.mgbox
@@||mgid.com$script,domain=1337x.to

at least the pics wont be displayed

[mapx]

or a solution using tampermonkey

after tampermonkey installing, add this userscript
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/14720 ... -important

[SirWumpus]

If the TamperMonkey extension combined with a script can disable !important marked
elements, why can't ABP add the extra support to do the same thing?

[mapx]

just use that workaround.

use search on forum or bug tracker to know more about !important stuff

I thought that element-hiding had nothing to do with the inability to hide elements with !important display values in their own style attributes, but rather the problem was in using a style element to inject CSS based on the hiding rules, because !important inside a style element is overridden by !important inside a style attribute.
