How do you block subelements? - background image

Post by E-Paragon »

I try to block element on the side banner, but it wants to block "column-content", which blocks most of the page.
I found column-content in Inspect, followed it down to find that it was "bottomframe" that created the ads, so I figured I'd just attempt blocking again, and when the popup comes up I'll just replace "column-content" with "bottomframe".

But no, it doesn't work. I can delete it, but not block it.
Not only that, but even if I do block any of the parent elements to bottomframe, it doesn't get rid of the stupid banners at all, even if I block column-content.

So it's an element I can't click on, and can't type in. How do I block it?

Are you trying to block the "advertisement" stuff ?

try

Code: Select all

||ahost.bulbagarden.net/content/PokemonCardValue246x250.jpg
or something else ?

Well yes, I don't want advertising, but the target of what I'm trying to block here are the side banners. They serve no purpose and look bad. I can't get rid of the blue unless I go into the inspect menu and physically delete it.

I posted a filter, did you try it ?

"advertisement" is on the right side, are you talking about it ?

Yes I added it to my filters and it didn't do anything.

And side banners are on more than the right, they're called bannerS because there are two of them, one on the left as well.

Maybe you are talking about the background image (skin)

try

Code: Select all

||bulbagarden.net^*skin$image
(the address page is https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Flying_(type) - you didn't post it)

The background should be white with dark grey accents or whatever pattern they have.

I'm getting a cobalt, as it've already blocked parts of the ad, but the background for the ad is persisting and refuses to be blocked.

You need a more advanced adblocker (ABP is working to improve ...):
uBo (ublock origin)

in uBo you can use

Code: Select all

||bulbagarden.net^*skin$image
bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net##body:style(background: none !important; overflow: auto !important;)
(:style is uBo specific)
