I use CSS to block many ads and other content on several sites I visit. However, on others it's too much of a pain, especially when authors do not name elements. Many sites are still made up of nested tables (like the examples above) and it's difficult or impossible to set up rules.
For some sites, I can eventually arrive at stuff like:
Code:
body > div > div > table > tbody > tr > td:first-child * { display: none !important }
But, you know, if I can use Safari and Safariblock and accomplish the same end result with one right click...
I think OW should perfect the 5.1 way and have all blocked content show up with clear frames, and then offer a preference in ad-blocking for "collapse blocked content". This should also appear in site preferences, for those sites you wish to reverse the general behavior.
