Hiding google 'Take your privacy checkup'

Post by groston »

This google popup is super annoying. It keeps coming back because a) I delete cookies on most sites automatically (google included) and b) because I do not stay logged in to google. It occurred to me that ABP should be able to help with this, but I have been unable to define a filter that works.

It seems to me that this popup resides within:

Code: Select all

<div class="gb_bd gb_cd gb_0c gb_gd" aria-label="Take your Privacy Checkup" role="dialog" 
As such, I tried the following (keeping in mind that I have never tried to write a ABP filter before...):

Code: Select all

google.com##.gb_bd
google.com##.gb_cd
google.com##.gb_0c
google.com##.gb_gd
Obviously, this did not work - any suggestions? Thx!

p.s. 14kb of style and another 6kb of code for this pop-up seems to be beyond ridiculous...

Try

Code: Select all

google.com##[aria-label*="privacy"]
or

Code: Select all

google.com##[aria-label*="Privacy"]

mapx - I think you solved this one...
Rats - spoke too soon - tried with both upper- and lower-case "P"

Based on your suggestion, I tried:

Code: Select all

google.com##[aria-label="Take your Privacy Checkup"]
But that didn't work. I then tried:

Code: Select all

##[aria-label="Take your Privacy Checkup"]
but this also did not work.

Good question! I was - changed that setting, but the popup still appears.
