Element hiding helper issues
Element hiding helper issues
Hiding helper is not cooperating most of the time for me. I can get the selection to show every once in a while, but mostly, clicking on "choose element to hide" results in nothing happening at all.

You should abandon ABP 2.9.1 and EHH (wont work anymore since FF 57 landing in november).
Install ABP beta:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addo ... sions/beta
and use the "block element" feature (clicking ABP icon, "block element") to replace (not so strong ...) EHH.

Re: Element hiding helper issues
Unfortunately, the "block element" feature is not available everywhere. Like facebook for example, where I'd really like to get rid of thise "people you might know" things and suchmapx wrote:You should abandon ABP 2.9.1 and EHH (wont work anymore since FF 57 landing in november).

Re: Element hiding helper issues
if you use last beta build, try (working for me)
for this sort of ads on FB, "block element" is useless
Code: Select all
facebook.com#?#.fbUserStory:-abp-contains(People you)
Re: Element hiding helper issues
Maybe, it might still be useful for other things, though. It's really awful that the entire feature is not available on fb, and fb only, makes me really angrymapx wrote:

"block element" in the new ABP for FF ==> click ABP icon, click "block element". Then select what do you want and a filter will be proposed (for now there are some bugs but in the final build will be correct)
Did you test the filter above ? Provide your feedback.

I was able to restore some old filters of mine (the new advanced filter settings are a topic of their own) to make everything I don't want to see go away. Th thing is, it just seems VERY suspicious that FB is the only page where you do not even get the block element feature at all, in any browser.

Latest dev version, go to FB, click the icon, no "block element" anywhere to be found. It is just fine on any other site.
The same is happening in chrome as well as it seems

Re: Element hiding helper issues
oh, yeah, as I said there are still bugs (ABP or FF bugs)
errors in console:

Re: Element hiding helper issues
wouldn't bugs affect more than just one specific site?
I simply cannot get rid of the feeling that FB (or their advertising partners) have a deal with ABP so they removed the element blocking feature there

FB is enforcing various policies on their pages (CSP).

Re: Element hiding helper issues
You still did not answer my question:
Did you test the filter above ? Provide your feedback.
Re: Element hiding helper issues
and btw in chrome is working fine. If does not work for you in chrome disable all other extensions and test again.
Re: Element hiding helper issues
since I could restore my own custom filters, I had no need for the abovemapx wrote:You still did not answer my question:
