Hi,
is there a way to block the small ad bar on www.techtree.com ? the ad on the bar can be blocked but the bar itself cannot. seems they have found a new way to circumvent the adblock filters. please suggest a way to bllock the annoying thing.

btw, great software guys. kudos to you.

This one?

Code: Select all

techtree.com#div(id=fixme)(style=height: 60px; width: 102%;)

Added a couple of things from there in EasyList & EasyElement.

You mean the one that floats on the bottom of the screen with the HP ad in it? That is the filter string that should remove it.

NOTHING is blocked by default .. you need rules added. Whose filter subscription(s) are you using?

Yes thats the one Rick. i am using your easylist. and about the default list thing, i don't understand this. then who adds the addresses on the ads on those lists??????? just wondering.

Well if you already have someone else's filtering in there, then you already DO have a subscription(s). You must have chose one at some point (possibly in the "suggestion" list when you first installed ABP?

thank you for your help. but will you be so kind as to explain to me: how did you get to

techtree.com#div(id=fixme)(style=height: 60px; width: 102%;)

once again,

Thank You.

You can hide html page elements with ABP. That was the ID in the page's code that allowed that item ... I just hid it.

If you add the ABP Element Hiding Helper add-on to ABP, you can select page elements to hide:

It takes a little practice to use... but it's great!
