Is there a way to trigger custom JavaScript on ad detection?

[AcidShout]

Hi there!

I found a web page which adds an event listener to the ad <div>, and if it's removed / hidden / etc, it simply creates another one. If it's hidden with display: none;, then the entire page disappears.

So I thought I could remove it with a bit of JavaScript, and came up with this:

Code: Select all

var x;
while(x = document.getElementById('ad17')){
    x.removeEventListener('DOMNodeRemoved');
    x.parentNode.removeChild(x);
}

That effectively solves the problem if I run it, but I don't want to run that each time I browse to a new page.
Is there any way to make AdBlock for Chrome to execute my custom JavaScript when it detects #ad17?

Thanks!

no, you can't do what you want using ABP
but which is that page/site ?

It's private, and requires a paid registration.

Anyway I can give some research about the styling if you want

I didn't notice this thread when it was first posted, but I'll just say that .removeEventListener requires both the event name and the same function that had been added as the event listener (and also the same value of the third argument, the "useCapture" parameter, that had been used to add the event); unfortunately, there's no way in vanilla DOM/JS to say "remove all listeners on this element for this event" without having references to all event listeners already (and no way to enumerate all event listeners): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... ntListener
