Can I Block Tumblr Related Posts ?

Post by MarkEpsilon »

Tumblr has a Related Posts feature which sometimes loads incredibly slowly (especially videos). Can I block it?
I've already applied: tumblr.com###page > .related-posts-wrapper ...which helps a little by not displaying the content (but I think the annoying material still loads into memory). I don't really understand this stuff. Is it a script that's slowing down the page load? Is it something else? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's a slow-loading sample page: http://thepositivecattitude.tumblr.com/ ... 3406168575
I would like only the top video to load …and not the other eight videos listed under "More You Might Like.”
Thank you.

try

Code: Select all

||ajax.googleapis.com^$domain=tumblr.com
||tumblr.com/*jquery$script
thepositivecattitude.tumblr.com##.related-posts-wrapper
add also to kill some other stuff

Code: Select all

||tumblr.com/*yahoo$script
||rawgit.com^$domain=tumblr.com
||cookiex.ngd.yahoo.com^
||tumblr.com/yahoo_cookie_receiver.html?*
||scorecardresearch.com^$domain=tumblr.com
||google-analytics.com^$domain=tumblr.com
||px.srvcs.tumblr.com^
and check if some functionalities are broken

I think the tumblr pages do load more quickly with those ...but I do lose some functionality. Maybe I can play with it, now that you got me closer. So, thank you. (And, I didn't try the other set of filters yet.)
