Filter for nbcnews.com Flash control blocker

Post by distancesprinter »

People with Flash disabled in their browser occasionally want to enable it to watch a Flash video. If Flash is blocked, you can generally right click the Flash element and select Enable in Chrome to view the video, without globally enabling Flash in your browser.

However, some sites have begun placing elements over the Flash video, to prevent users from accessing that control to enable Flash strictly for one video at a time. How annoying...

NBC News is one such site. I wrote the following filter which appears to block the element which blocks the toggle to enable Flash:

Code: Select all

nbcnews.com##div[id$="controlBlocker"]
Keep in mind, you'll still have to make sure you're not clicking the spinner, but if you click the grey area around the spinner, you can now enable Flash selectively.
