Blocking Snap and IntelliTXT pop-up bubbles in OmniWeb
 

Hi folks,

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

To banish them, you can add this string to your Blocked URLs List in the Ad Blocking Preferences:
[INDENT]spa\.snap\.com[/INDENT]
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:
[url]http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/11/20/omnifocus.first.look/[/url]

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

Thanx for that great advice!!! WoooHooooo!!!

I hate those stupid things too. Grrrrr....

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.
