twitter.com

How can I block the "What's Happening" sidebar on the right in twitter when using a desktop browser? I don't want to see it. I'm using uBlock Origin. When I try to pick an element that blocks the entire sidebar it looks like twitter.com##.r-1udh08x.r-ku1wi2.r-rs99b7.r-1phboty.r-1ylenci.r-k...

Re: facebook.com

Thanks, intense. Based on that github page, it seems that FB is trying really hard to get around adblocking.

Michael: I'd like to respond with two points: 1. If people don't want to pay, then leaving the self-promotions on the site (unblocked) won't help. 2. You see this as a problem, because it makes it hard for adminstrators to get money from users. But it's the same thing ("problem") with bloc...

Hi, on a page on forums.linuxmint.com, there are "blank posts" where all it says is "this site is funded by donations."
How can we remove those things that take up so much space?

Quick reply: Content messages are links to free stuff/content.

Self-promotion is where they ask the websurfer for money or for something.

suggestion: new list to block self-advertisements

Dear EasyList,

Can I suggest creating a new list that blocks self-advertisements? Some of us don't want to see self-advertisements at all, and the easylist doesn't block self-promotions.

Thanks.

maybe we should create a new adblock list just for self-promotions, for those who don't want to see promotions of any kind.

Does [rej] in title mean "rejected"? If so, why? If it's because of "self-ads", it's not (all) self-ads.
