Google Chrome

Post by mike.heywood4879 »

Hi,

Thanks for a great product. But there is one annoying add that stops your mouse working until you acknowledge it OVERTIME!!

And that of course is when i go into Google, this add for Google chrome comes up and nothing works until you close it.

VERY FRUSTRATING GOOGLE!!!!

I am unable to block this element with your otherwise wonderful product.

Btw, i tried searching for google chrome on this forum and it just told me the words are too common!!

Tell me are you owned by google?

I use Safari in a Mac Book Pro.

Many thanks
Mike

search for "filter" ==> we are owned by "filter" company
search for "adblock" ==> we are owned by "adblock" company
search for "video" ==> we are owned by "video" company

ooookk... "too common" means exactly "too common"

Did you try "block element" ? (click ABP icon, "block element", select the area you want to block / hide)

Yep, and managed to block the Chrome icon :-0 If you left or right click anywhere else it just goes to Google Chrome download!

- click ABP icon, options, "add your own filters", click "Edit filters as raw text" and you'll be able to copy / edit the filters.
- use an external site like imgur.com, upload your screenshot there and post here the link.

The | (vertical pipe) character is Shift+\

You should find it near the Enter or Return key, often just above that key.
