You may not be seeing it because it's only happening as of the switch-over to the new home page, which just happened in the last day or so and may not be live yet for everyone. If you are still on the old page, there should be a "Try the new site" type banner near the top.

But Dimitri is right about the new page: there are five large, horizontal blocks as you go down the page. Using simple element blocking isn't going to work, I think, due to the random names used.

Probably "we" need a new feature (if possible): hide only the direct parent (or n exact levels) div / class containing that text (for -abp-contains; same for -abp-has)

Block element not an option, for some reason.
How to get rid of big horizontal black banner.

There is no X out option; they only want you to pay for access.
In particular, the New York Times.

nytimes.com has now, at the bottom of screen, black bar that tells to subscribe to nytimes. Is this considered an ad? If so, I report it here :D

Sampe link:

I maintain the Finnish Easylist. If you report an ad issue, tag my name so I'll get a notification.

Everything seems to load fine now on https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/24/style/robot-furniture-beep-beep-boop.html while blocking nytimes.com##.gdpr. Can the the exception rule hence be removed?

After a certain number of page loads, a subscription banner is shown and the content is hidden. However, the content is already loaded before this happens, so it should be possible to remove the banner. Example URL

Code: Select all

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/28/sports/boston-marathon-canceled.html
however it may not do anything for you unless you have already been on the site reading articles. Happens for any article after the limit.

Thanks for pointing me towards this extension. It solved the problem for me, but I'm still curious if it's something that could be done natively within uBO so that I don't have a weird unsigned extension lurking in my browser?

Confirmed that this worked for me in a different browser that I had not already installed the bypass paywalls plugin on. Thanks.
