Blocking Snap and IntelliTXT pop-up bubbles in OmniWeb

[Bill Van Hecke]

Hi folks,

I'd had just about enough of those snap.com bubbles that pop up on links, at sites like this one:
http://castingoutnines.wordpress.com/2007/11/07/riding-in-the-time-machine/

To banish them, you can add this string to your Blocked URLs List in the Ad Blocking Preferences:
spa\.snap\.com

Wheeee~

Bill is my hero!

Sweet! Thanks. :)

Yes, I hate those stupid things too, and now they're gone!

Also! You can block the similarly annoying "IntelliTXT" ads on sites like this one:
http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/11/20/omnifocus.first.look/

By adding the following strings to your block list:
intellitxt\.com
vibrantmedia\.com

This page has more of those disgusting pop-up's. And the above blocked URL's are in place. They worked for a while, but now don't. Any idea's?

Look here.

I usually pull up the site preferences an disable javascript for annoying pages like this. i just want to read the content, pages load way faster with javascript disabled.

Thanx for the advice. I disabled javaScript and those little stinkers are now gone. I just love it that in OmniWeb we have individual site preferences.

Looks like:

/.*\.kontera\.com

Would get rid of the pop-ups on this page.

Works for most of the page, but still ended up with one of those crappy links.

Hmm, where is it? I'm not seeing it.

Troy, how do you determine these sites to block, such as

/.*\.kontera\.com

Still has those buggers even with all the blocks applied. The only way I can get rid of them is to disable javascript.

Ignore the above. I forgot to refresh the page.

Try dropping the leading slash:

.*\.kontera\.com

I found this by opening up the source of the page and searching for "Content Link" which is the branding they're using in the pop-ups. I have noticed that the javascript to active these ads is usually placed at the end of the page though so snooping around near the bottom of the source would probably also work well.
