Need to block newspaper videos

[cdabis]

I'm 69 years old, female, with a desktop computer and ADP of course! I need step by step instructions to guide me as I block our local newspaper's newest feature: videos. Yes, I pay for my online newspaper subscription, and no, they will not, or don't know how, to filter out the pesky video distribution to their paying members.

So, if someone would kindly hold my hand... and walk me through the steps, that would please me forever.

Code: Select all

Thank you in advance, E. Christina Dabis

Are you talking about auto playing videos ?
Could you provide some example links to such pages ?
Are them available only for a paying visitor ?

You could also choose such a video page, submit an issue report and then put here the report link.

However, you could try adding these filters

Code: Select all

||videos.theunion.com
##A[href^="http://videos.theunion.com/"]

See how to add custom filters:

Hello MapX,

The videos only show if you are a subscriber with a login and password. It does not feel right for me to post those things. Nor, is it right that they are blasting me, a subscriber, with videos, either.

It is a true quandary, then.

I provided 2 filters, did you try them ?
Also, if the filters don't work I indicated above to submit an issue report.

Sad to say, it did not help. I do appreciate your valiant attempt.
