Block "Intellitxt" green links in some forums?

mgmcc · Post by **mgmcc** » February 17th, 2006, 1:16 am

I like the new Camino browser and Ad blocking is effective, but how can I get rid of the dreadful intellitext "green links" that plague some discussion forums? With the Firefox browser, the "Ad Block" extension allows me to enter the URL to block them, is there some way to block specific URLs with Camino?

Add these lines to your hostperm.1 file:

host image 2 intellitxt.com
host cookie 2 intellitxt.com
host script 2 intellitxt.com
host object 2 intellitxt.com

Only the script line is really necessary, but I figure if they're gonna be that annoying, fuck 'em.

Note that a few sites that use intellitxt use some custom domains, like intellitxt.sitename.tld, so cflwason's rules won't block *every* intellitxt one, but will block 99%

If you want a list of other annoying image/foo sites to block, don't forget to check out the documentation

Thanks guys, but that hasn't made any difference. I added:

host image 2 intellitxt.com
host cookie 2 intellitxt.com
host script 2 intellitxt.com
host object 2 intellitxt.com
host image 2 uk.intellitxt.com
host cookie 2 uk.intellitxt.com
host script 2 uk.intellitxt.com
host object 2 uk.intellitxt.com
host 2 uk.intellitxt.com

but the damned green links are still there even after closing and re-opening Camino

it won't work if you're entering "uk.intellitxt.com" if the server is for example "bla.uk.intellitxt.com"
you have to enter the complete servername.

The server is "uk.intellitxt.com" but where should this Hostperm.1 file be for the Camino browser? At the moment I only have the one relating to Firefox in:

Mike/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/w5118m7x.default/hostperm.1

the hostperm.1 for Camino is located in
<b>~/Library/Application Support/Camino</b> where ~ is your home folder.
if the file doesn't exist then create it with text edit (as plain text file!).
now enter the strings the others told you.
save the file and open Camino.

Can you post a screenshot? Can't say I've ever seen these..

God I hate that Intellitext crap.

brutal: Basically, it highlights words by turning them green with a double underline, and links them to ad content.

While playing about, I had actually placed the hostperm.1 file in that path and it didn't make any difference.

You need to make sure those are tabs between the entries, rather than just a space. The forum de-tabbed my paste up above.

just in case of using CamiTools you can enter it in the tab "Block". CamiTools will format it the right way.

Also, be sure you quit the browser when you're editing the file, or changes won't stick.

Hadn't been doing that. I now seem to have got rid of the blighters! Thanks for the help.
