NY Times sideways popup page bottom

[jhaber3]

Two days ago, the NY Times added a feature, and I haven't figured out the name of the script to block. I wonder if anyone else has.

It's triggered by a page down that reaches the bottom of the page -- that is, that takes the right-hand slider bar to touch the bottom. At that point, a small window slides over from the right to give you a link to the next article. I'm finding the constant popup annoying, even if the link might sometimes be useful, and I'd love to kill it.

thanks,

John

That's the script:

Code: Select all

||graphics8.nytimes.com/js/app/article/upNext.js

Code: Select all

nytimes.com###upNext

Super. Thanks so much for the quick catch.

Thanks for posting this!

The article that the Times popup was promoting was often something I wanted to read, but the way it popped onto the screen was horrible! Very distracting while you're trying to finish the article that you're reading.

Well I'm been reading the NYT for years and that right side Obnoxious pop notice is about an article that I already have seen or will see shortly. Look, they are noticing us for articles that are already on their front page. How stupid is that? Please put that scrip in the normal updates.

This used to work fine; as of today NYTimes seems to have found a workaround.

Found this has now changed to: http://graphics8.nytimes.com/js/app/article/upNext.js

Maybe just

Code: Select all

||nytimes.com/js/app/article/upNext.js

is what you should use.

It did not change. See my post (second in this thread).

Does anyone know how to block the Sydney Morning Herald sideways popup at page bottom??

[meh]

press ctrl-shift-v

adblock will show blockable items

search for js (javascript)

block them and it will suggest the rule.. pick the ..../js/* so all the javascripts are blocked
