Hiding Flash (ads)
Hi,
Though i guess this pb had been already addressed, (though searching
the olld forums didn't give me interesting clues)
is there a way to hide those so annoying Flash ads ?

There you go, CSS rules ready to use!

Flash hiding
That CSS is pretty nice, thanks for the link. You can probably accomplish the same thing with Banner Blind.

Well, what Bannerblinds does, more or less, is the same thing I described.
You can achieve "the Bannerblind effect" like this:
Or then I'm not sure if this is valid CSS, or if it works at all because I haven't tested it yet:

Code: Select all
/* this hides the usual 468x60 img banner ads */
img[width="468"][height="60"] {
display: none !important;
visibility: hidden !important;
}

From the Banner Blind code:
It should work on Flash.

That CSS validates, and it looks fine to me.

Banner Blind
Banner Blind just hides them, they still get loaded. I have the feeling that the CSS just does the same thing, since styles are applied after the page loads, but I could be wrong.

Proxo seems to stop Flash from loading
"Sam" in the old Phoenix forum suggested Proxomitron (M$Windows only) and (after a prob getting MozMail thru it), it works well and fast. I've noticed at their support forum a number of configuration files designed for Moz and Opera users specifically. It would be nice, I think, if some Mozillans continued to create and post links to their filter rules.

CSS is applied as the page loads. Using display:none on Flash makes the animation go away completely (sounds, etc), but this might change in the future.

I use privoxy for everything
Privoxy (http://www.privoxy.org) runs as a local proxy and does all kinds of filtering: it can suppress flash and other plugins, pupups, images, can do on the fly changes of web pages, allows referrer and UA changes and much more, and all this on arbitrary patterns of URIs.
The rules can be updated on the fly via a web interface that is directly provided by the proxy.
The program is available for most platforms and free.

Any chance Bannerblind works again? Does it work for Phoenix? It stopped working for me when I switched to Moz 1.2.
