Describe the issue

There's an anti ad-blocker bait on the website: The big banner you can see in the screenshot.
When the banner gets blocked by www.golem.de###screen > div:nth-of-type(1) the adblocker is detected and the page content blurs.

It would be convenient to hide this banner somehow without triggering the anti adblock measurements.

Versions

• Browser/version: FF49
• uBlock Origin version: 1.9.16

Settings

Default + EasyList Germany + all anti adblocker filter list
Own rule: www.golem.de###screen > div:nth-of-type(1)

It's self-promotion, not an ad.

In any case, a plain filter is good enough here, so report to EasyList Germany.

@alexara You can block just the cosmetic element with the following filter (leaves an empty white box in place) without the page content blurring by using an xpath filter, this seems to work for me:

golem.de##:xpath(.//*[@class="golem-accountpromo squeeze"])

Sorry, I missed that part.

[gorhill]

How about:

golem.de###screen > div:has(:scope > [data-google-query-id])
golem.de##article:style(filter: none !important; pointer-events: initial !important; position: relative !important;)
golem.de##article ~ .formatted

But since it's self-promotion which does not prevent access to content, I should not add this to uBO's filters.

[gorhill]

This is an excellent case to motivate me to go ahead with a more generic solution in uBO I have thought more and more about lately.

[gorhill]

Custom filter for this case: golem.de##script:inject(abort-on-property-write.js, _sp_) (need 1.9.17b7).

Thank you very much @gorhill, you don't know how much I and surely many others are grateful for your (free!) work.
