This is a continuation of topic
44727.
As usual, it's a tracking pixel at a random article at NY Times. This was found at
https://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/03/technology/once-celebrated-in-russia-programmer-pavel-durov-chooses-exile.html (random-looking strings of uppercase, lowercase, digits and hyphens replaced by X's):

I noticed the cookie banner on the New York Times site, since removing it breaks some videos
Code: Select all
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/24/style/robot-furniture-beep-beep-boop.html
was linked. For me the linked video works fine, even without accepting cookies. Can anyone else confirm?

this one's a bit weird. it looks like there's some javascript that loads in after the article content is fully loaded, which opens up the screenshotted blocking popup, and also disables scrolling. just blocking the popup alone does not make the article readable. i'm not sure what else needs to be blocked to stop it from loading the page-blocking script.

Adding ||meter-svc.nytimes.com^ into your personal filters will counter the paywall. We won't add to EL though.

Could you add whatsapp icon to the list on Fanboy Annoyance or Fanboy Social List?

This is not an advertisement –– just an annoyance. As I understand, in addition to advertisements, ad blockers can also be used to block annoyances. If you prefer, then I can move this topic to a different sub-forum.
At the top of each guide on Wirecutter, I see a search box with an animation. The text in the animation changes, "Show me the research on...", "How can we help?" "Help me decide on..." etc. This animation distracts me from reading the guides. How can I disable this animation?

@intense Thank you for writing this filter for nytimes.com. If you don't mind, can I please raise two issues?
1) I expected this filter to remove the animated text, but it removed the search box entirely –– this makes searching difficult.
2) When I scroll down, the animated text in the search box reappears. So this filter only removes the animated text when scrolled to the top.
