blocking gmail bottom and top ads
blocking gmail bottom and top ads
How can I block the gmail bottom ads (in the emails) ?
I saw that ABP for FF can block these ads

Re: blocking gmail bottom ads
I want to block these annoying ads too, I use ABP for FF and I still get this ad shown, I've tried adding http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com to my HOSTS file, tried blocking the element via ABP with no luck. How do I get rid of it?!
Re: blocking gmail bottom ads
Looks like this the Google Apps version of Gmail. Does the following filter work?
That's a weird-looking class name for Gmail; I wonder if it's unique to my instance of Google Apps or some such.
Code: Select all

Re: blocking gmail bottom ads

Re: blocking gmail bottom ads
The thing you want is in Wrench->Tools->Developer Tools. Then click on the "Elements" tab. This way you can browse the DOM tree of the page and find the element you are interested in.

Re: blocking gmail bottom ads
@joseph: Do you think it's safe to add those rules to a filter subscription?
Re: blocking gmail bottom ads
Ares2, I think it's OK; I haven't had any problems with these filters. Perhaps you could also consider the filter I suggested in this thread: forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7041

I have added
to EasyList (*crosses fingers that it doesn't break anything*).
The ads on top can be turned off in preferences and I'm not sure about the "About these links", it's ringing alarm bells in my head.

Fair enough, "About these links" is not really a botheration anyway. Thanks.Ares2 wrote:The ads on top can be turned off in preferences and I'm not sure about the "About these links", it's ringing alarm bells in my head.
Re: blocking gmail bottom and top ads
Does that mean all I have to do is update my easylist subscription and it should go away? If so then great!Ares2 wrote:I have addedto EasyList (*crosses fingers that it doesn't break anything*).Code: Select all

Yep, that should do it. Plase tell us if it works or not.

update the easylist, but it seems not working (I see again the bottom ads)
Re: blocking gmail bottom and top ads
The filter worked for you two days ago and it doesn't work now? Are you sure you haven't accidentally disabled the filter?

very strange , indeed.Ares2 wrote:The filter worked for you two days ago and it doesn't work now? Are you sure you haven't accidentally disabled the filter?
with the filter added manually, all is ok; with the filter removed, with your list (easylist), doesnt function
L.E.: now it functions ... probably when I updated the easylist its some control (duplicate elements) and didnt load the same filter I had put manually.
I remove the manual filter, I unsubscribe easylist, then subscribe, and now all is ok
