Safari 3 Leopard adblock
Posted by lars | Filed under Mac, Software, howto
I have been looking for an adblocking solution for Safari 3 final version (the version shipped with Leopard) for quite some time now. Any day now Pithhelmet is going to get updated and this will be a moot point but until then I just cant stand all the ads and I really like the speed of Safari.
After trying many solutions like PlugSuit, Privoxy and even a host file solution I find that the best current adblocking is done via a CSS file. I’ve tried two different solutions and the one I like the best is adsubtract
The only thing that annoyed me was that there was no fix for Aftonbladet (yeah I know, I shouldn’t even read the site, it’s a love-n-hate thing) but I finally figured out a way to make it work, also did something about Expressen.
Add these lines to your adsubtract.css, under the section that sais
/* FLASH responds to VISIBILITY:HIDDEN under WebKit */
and aftonbladet.se will look nice and ad free:
embed[width="440"][height="220"] {visibility: hidden ! important}object[width="440"][height="220"] {visibility: hidden ! important} embed[width="232"][height="490"] {visibility: hidden ! important}object[width="232"][height="490"] {visibility: hidden ! important} embed[width="250"][height="360"] {visibility: hidden ! important}object[width="250"][height="360"] {visibility: hidden ! important} embed[width="250"][height="60"] {visibility: hidden ! important}object[width="250"][height="60"] {visibility: hidden ! important} embed[width="250"][height="120"] {visibility: hidden ! important}object[width="250"][height="120"] {visibility: hidden ! important} embed[width="980"][height="120"] {visibility: hidden ! important}object[width="980"][height="120"] {visibility: hidden ! important} embed[width="120"][height="240"] {visibility: hidden ! important}object[width="120"][height="240"] {visibility: hidden ! important}
Add these under DIV-ID for Expressen:
div[id*="top-ad"] {visibility: hidden ! important} /* expressen.se */div[id*="right-ad"] {visibility: hidden ! important} /* expressen.se */div[id*="right-ad-top"] {visibility: hidden ! important} /* expressen.se */
