Custom Adblock Rules

[DeepLurker]

Despite running both Adblock Plus and Ghostery, sometimes I still see shit I'd rather not. When that happens, I feel a spiteful compulsion to look through the page code and create a custom rule to block whatever abomination is before me.

Here's a handfull of the ones I'm currently using:

youtube.com##ytd-rich-shelf-renderer

youtube.com/results##ytd-reel-shelf-renderer

Those block the pozzed shorts in the main and search pages (I also use 'Youtube-shorts block' to use the normal video player on shorts)

twitter.com##.css-1dbjc4n.r-aqfbo4.r-1p0dtai.r-1d2f490.r-12vffkv.r-1xcajam.r-zchlnj

This blocks the annoying blue bar when you are on Twitter while logged out

Sometimes when you visit a website, a pop-up will appear telling you that you can log in with your Google account. If that stuff annoys you, this filter will block it: -

||accounts.google.com/gsi/*$xhr,script,3p

I use a bunch on YouTube, but this one removes the "1080p Premium" option when you select the quality, as that requires you to pay for a subscription: -

youtube.com##.ytp-quality-menu [role="menuitemradio"]:has-text(Premium)

Regarding YouTube shorts, for desktop users I would recommend this: -

https://github.com/raven0230/Remove-Youtube-Shorts

It gives you the following options: -

• Hide Shorts tab in navigation tab
• Hide Shorts section in Home feed
• Hide Shorts tab in channel page
• Hide Shorts from subscriptions page

It also redirects any shorts so they play in the regular player, rather than the phone screen layout.

Found this on r/Piracy. Supposedly removes YouTube's new adblocker cockblock messages.

youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false)

youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0)

youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, [])

youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)

youtube.com##+js(json-prune, auxiliaryUi.messageRenderers.enforcementMessageViewModel)

youtube.com##+js(set, ytInitialPlayerResponse.auxiliaryUi.messageRenderers.enforcementMessageViewModel, undefined)

I haven't encountered them yet personally so can't say whether it works or not, but replies to the thread are saying it does: https://old.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/15sd5ai/well_looks_like_im_not_allowed_to_watch_yt/

These don't work. Youtube has been very aggressive and the folks managing filter lists have trouble keeping abreast.
