The Un-Official Proxomitron Forum

Given Joe's response to the "facebook ticker" thread, I've located the following userstyle to thwart facebook ads:
------------------------------------------------------------------

@-moz-document domain("facebook.com") {

.ad_capsule{ display: none !important; }
#ssponsor{ display: none !important; }
.nextstep{ display: none !important; }
.sponsors { display: none !important }
.invitefriends { display: none !important; }
.social_ad { display: none !important; }
#sidebar_ads { display: none !important; }
.sponsor { display: none !important; }
#feedwall_with_composer, #info_tab { width: 722px !important; margin-left: -180px; }
.story_content { width: 660px !important; }
.story_body {width: 665px !important; }
.photos_tab { width: 945px !important; }
.emu_sponsor,.house_sponsor { display: none !important; }

/* Block sidebar ads (+1.72 - 2009-02-20) */
.from_friend_story {width: 725px !important; }
.UIHomeBox_Sponsored, .profile_sidebar_ads { display: none !important; }

/* Hide sponsor from the home page (+1.74 - 2010-11-01) */
#home_sponsor_nile{ display: none !important; }

/* Block sidebar ads again and hide ads from the photo overlay as well (+1.75 - 2011-05-19) */
#pagelet_ego_pane { display: none !important; }
.fbPhotoTheaterGrid .adsContainer { display: none !important; }

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The script works perfectly. Does this give some clue how filters might be written to block the ads with Proxomitron?

Thank you,

Cary

We can't use "@-moz-document domain("facebook.com") ". The rest looks like css.

Code:

[Patterns]

Name = "facebook css test 11/09/29"

Active = TRUE

URL = "$TYPE(htm)www.facebook.com/"

Limit = 256

Match = "(^(^</head>))$STOP()"

Replace = "<style>"

          ".ad_capsule{ display: none !important; }"

          "#ssponsor{ display: none !important; }"

          ".nextstep{ display: none !important; }"

          ".sponsors { display: none !important; } "

          ".invitefriends { display: none !important; }"

          ".social_ad { display: none !important; }"

          "#sidebar_ads { display: none !important; }"

          ".sponsor { display: none !important; }"

          "#feedwall_with_composer, #info_tab { width: 722px !important; margin-left: -180px; }"

          ".story_content { width: 660px !important; }"

          ".story_body {width: 665px !important; }"

          ".photos_tab { width: 945px !important; }"

          ".emu_sponsor,.house_sponsor { display: none !important; }"

          ".from_friend_story {width: 725px !important; }"

          ".UIHomeBox_Sponsored, .profile_sidebar_ads { display: none !important; }"

          "#home_sponsor_nile{ display: none !important; }"

          "#pagelet_ego_pane { display: none !important; }"

          ".fbPhotoTheaterGrid .adsContainer { display: none !important; }"

          "</style>"

Anything?

I pasted it into Web Page Filters and made sure it was activated. It's not working, but thank you very much for trying. Smile!

Are you sure?
div#pagelet_ego_pane on the "Wall" is hidden after activating the filter. This would be the "Sponsored See all" ads in the right column.

Works here JJoe although I found if I click a link and then go back to page that ticker appears again ! If you refresh page it goes away

That's what I thought it would do, but they are still there, using Firefox, Chrome, and Opera. The "ticker" filter doesn't work either. Would I necessarily have to have the rest of the Sidki filterset installed?

I don't think so.

The filters need access to the tags that they are testing for, </head> and </body>. Other filters can hide tags.

The (^(^)) form can miss but should be ok here.

Your facebook page's address needs to start with www.facebook.com/

First, verify that the filters added the code to the html.

And remember that I'm shooting in the dark.
I did forget to add type="text/css" to the style tag but...

@ Scoop's
Interesting, sounds like the script only works while loading the page.
