CNN - Exit pop-over block
Posted: Mon Apr 30, 2018 7:48 pm
I believe CNN web admins have a hobby of making their site as annoying as possible.
Every time you try to "mouse out" (getting ready to close, or click to something else) they pop-over this full-page crud to remind you to subscribe to stuff.
I've blocked a few elements by clicking, but i know I need a wild-card to keep these dead.
Here's a sample (from my manual one-off blocks):
How would I condense that into a wildcard block? looks like I need anything that has "*-creative-*" or "*-shroud-*"
How would I block these?
The number changes. I tried "cnn.com###bx-shroud-*", but that throws '#bx-shroud-*' is not a valid CSS selector".
I've not tried to write a real wildcard enabled filter and am a bit lost. Once I'm guided through once, I'll be ok. (or, is there a CNN-haters block list already?)
