Phoenix image/banner ad blocking extensions?
I'm aware of these two extensions for Mozilla which try to hide/block images:
http://bannerblind.mozdev.org/
http://adblock.mozdev.org/ (According to the FAQ, the Author would like to support Phoenix, but would like some help)
EDIT - As of Jan 2003, Bish has now got Adblock working with Phoenix
Are there any Phoenix compatible extensions in this area yet? The built in image blocking is good, but doesn't help when a site serves up both its own images and its adverts.
Thanks
P.S. Has anyone tried blocking "link images" based on where they link to?

There are a few other thread on image blocking. Please search the forum.

No. The only avaible extension in this way is Nuke Image (http://texturizer.net/phoenix/extensions.html#nukeimage).
Maybe there will come new extensions, but at the moment its the only one.

Also there is a mouse gesture that is supposed to hide an image (and also there are double size and half size image gestures).
i think that the mouse gesture extension is supposed to be able to do that on mozilla, but since phoenix doesn't have that whole double/half size image thing, it doesn't work on phoenix.

I've made a userContent.css file that blocks a large percent of ads, based on their sizes.
Just stick it in the chrome directory under your profile.

Edit: It also fixes some of the MSKB margin bugs

For every action there is an equal and opposite criticism.

No problem
I will also be updating it as I find new common ads or whatnot.
I think I'll go ahead and post it into the Stuff section for now, until I get the files section finished.
So if you want to check for updates, it'll be in http://the-magi.us/stuff/

http://www.geocities.com/alanjstarr/moz ... ontent.css has a little more generic blocking and MSKB is updated to version 2 now
examples:
.KBPUBV2
*[src*="/ads/"],
*[width="468"][height="60"],

That's the one I'm not sure about. I was trying to get it to represent img, embed, iframe, and object all in one go. But then I still get some ads at nytimes.com that match dimensions I've specified. Most of the ads I think I block are because of the src keywords.
Well if it doesn't actually specify width="480" and height="60" then it won't catch. The CSS selectors only work on attributes that are specified.
btw, where did you find into on *= ? I've been trying to find a good selector reference, but can't seem to find one anywhere.
