Koby Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 So MyAnimeList.net has decided to bombard their userbase with untested advertisements (up to as much as 7 advertisements on some pages), many of which are video ads and/or play obnoxious and intrusive audio. While others go outside of your browser window width and cause you to have a horizontal scrollbar. While adblock plus does actually block the ads, it doesn't do anything for the annoying boxes that pop up in place of most of the ads trying to convince you to disable your blocker. As a result, I've come up with filters that will block those boxes so you can view the site without anything obnoxious/intrusive. Just add these to your filter list: myanimelist.net##.mauto myanimelist.net##.right_top_ad myanimelist.net##.left_bottom_ad myanimelist.net##._unit Now, MyAnimelist.net may change their code up to make it display again for those blocking it this way, so if this stops blocking them, or you notice any issue, let me know and I'll update it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroPenguins Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 ^How about making a new filter for Nyaa? They decided to use their ad images file names as www- which is the same as their other images on the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively, you could just do www-7*.png and whitelist the www-7.png file, but I didn't look up at the time how to add an exception so I just added the individual numbers instead. The www-7.png image is the download button on topic listing view so you want to not block it else you'd have to go into the torrent page to download which is a hassle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah thanks, was too lazy to find all the ads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pollux Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) @Koby @ZeroPenguins For a more Stylish approach: Install the Stylish addon for Firefox or Chrome. Then install a theme for MAL or NYAA that blocks ads. You can also search Userstyles.org if you don't like the ones I linked. My Mal and Nyaa: Spoiler Edit: I also have the School/Romcom background/render pack installed on my MAL page. Edited July 22, 2016 by Pollux More info. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroPenguins Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 I mainly use RSS on Nyaa. Just time to time I need to check the main site and I don't really use MAL at all. Personally, not really a big fan of installing too many addons, but good option for other people who likes to customise CSS of a site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koby Posted July 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 I don't run any extra addons outside of default addons and adblock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, your web browsing must be painful. All cookies are blocked unless I want them, no use in userscripts, don't need a login manager, and I don't get popups anywhere I go. So IDK what you're on about. You don't need to bloat your browser with stuff it's capable of doing already on it's own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnFlower Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 4 hours ago, Koby said: All cookies are blocked unless I want them, Neither Firefox nor Chrome effectively manage cookies. You can block them all, but then you're stuck manually editing your whitelist like a chump. Use Vanilla Cookie Manager (or Self Destructing Cookies for Firefox). You can thank me later. 4 hours ago, Koby said: no use in userscripts, A userscript's sole purpose is to be useful. They make websites more tolerable. Example: YouTube Center. I can understand if you cant find a use for them though. 4 hours ago, Koby said: don't need a login manager, Do you use secure, individual passwords for each site you visit? 4 hours ago, Koby said: and I don't get popups anywhere I go. Firefox has better popup blocking than Chrome, so Chrome needs an extra addon to get what the built in blocker doesn't. 4 hours ago, Koby said: You don't need to bloat your browser with stuff it's capable of doing already on it's own. If you were seriously concerned about bloat, you wouldn't be using Adblock Plus. A web browser might be able to do all you password and cookie management, but it certainly doesn't do it well. But if you're content with it then I guess there isn't much I can say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroPenguins Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Well if anyone is curious; I have a password manager, cookie manager addon, ublock origin, flashblock, greasemonkey, enchanced steam and magic chrome actions for youtube on my browsers. I wouldn't call most of them bloat, in my opinion bloat is shit you don't need. Adblock Plus is a piece of shit compared to ublock origin... Way less resources used on ublock origin.

JohnFlower Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 That's effort. I use Dashlane. I understand if you don't trust a company to securely store your passwords though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
