Facebook "Get updates from ... force login or register"

[MOB]

Recently I noticed that Facebook added a "force login or register" tactic.

When you visit an open "public" page at Facebook from either a celebrity, company, or whatever. And if you are not logged in or don't have a Facebook account. When you start to scroll down to read the page, a white sheet starts to cover the page, with a message that you need to either register or login and etc. (see screenshot below):



Well here is the code I am currently using to block this effect.

Code: Select all

facebook.com##._5ctm

Hopefully it helps you out, or a better code can be shared.

You can upload the screenshot to some dedicated server (like imgur.com) and post here the link.

OK done!

P.S. Good job on the IOS Adblock Browser -- had an old iPad 2 that I didn't use anymore because of so many ads on websites, now I can use it again.

if your device is jailbroken ...

1. Install OpenSSH on your device.
2. Download this replacement adblock hosts file http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/hosts
3. Connect to your iPad/iPhone using SFTP clien (FileZilla, WinSCP ...).
4. Navigate to /etc/ and drag that file to the sftp window clien. (replace when it asks to you).
5. Restart!

Well Facebook added another feature or changed it.

Now you get this instead when you visit an open "public" page.



I tried blocking it, but the issue is that I can't scroll the page anymore. Help?

Below is the code I tried blocking--it blocks it, but can't scroll the page.

Code: Select all

facebook.com##.timelineSignUpDialog

From your screenshot, I can see you are on a different country? I wonder if the block is within countries? Maybe visit the USA version of that page??

I just visited that page, and I get the login / register notice. Can't view the entire page.



I have no clue why you are telling me to report a false positive. I think you ought to read the entire thread a bit more carefully, perhaps you missed something why I am reporting this.

That's odd. What browser are you using? I am using Mozilla Firefox.

When I visit the page, it looks fine, but once I try to scroll to the bottom, that's when the login pop ups and doesn't disappear. If I don't try to scroll the page, I can even take a screenshot like you did. But once I scroll, the login page blocks it.

I wonder if giving you a source code of the page, can help you out?

Sorry for the double-post, but I've also created a flash video -- so you can see my issue, when I visit that Facebook public page:

I confirme now , i have the login popup if i try to scroll to the bottom
I think you need a userscript to disable these embed javascript codes !

Code: Select all

<script>bigPipe.beforePageletArrive("pagelet_growth_signup_modal")</script>
<script>require("TimeSlice").guard(function() {bigPipe.onPageletArrive({"content":{"pagelet_growth_signup_modal":""},.........

Well today I visited the Facebook public page and I can scroll without getting the login popup. Seemed they changed something over at Facebook? Or was there an Adblock Plus update that fixes that as well?

FYI, I still have these in place:

Code: Select all

facebook.com##._3ixn
facebook.com###timelineSignUpDialog
facebook.com##.timelineLoggedOutSignUp

It seems that Facebook does this periodically. Yesterday I got another "force register login" to a public page. Here is another filter that seems to fix it.

Code: Select all

facebook.com###dialog_0

So so far I got these filters in Adblock Plus:

Code: Select all

facebook.com##._5ctm
facebook.com##.timelineLoggedOutSignUp
facebook.com###dialog_0
facebook.com###timelineSignUpDialog
facebook.com##._3ixn

[smed79]

Code: Select all

facebook.com###pagelet_growth_expanding_cta
