I need a plugin for firefox, like "noscript".

Except, instead of blocking scripts from everywhere by default, I want it to *allow* scripts by default, and block them only from a specific site.

Ideas?

Have you checked through the Greasemonkey community?

NoScript is GPL'd, so you can monkey with the source. Maybe you can just invert the whitelist into a blacklist?

Okay, found it: yesscript (instead of noscript).

Works like a charm.

Now.. how about a similar plug-in to selectively block specific URLs? You'd think Adblock+ could do this, but it cannot.

I want to block (only) a specific .jpg image from the same site.

???

Adblock does that for me? I've used it to block a specific JPG and specific Javascript files.

How? Do tell.

See.. adblock+ blocks other stuff from the same site. If I tell adblock+ to not do that ("whitelist"), then it blocks NOTHING.

It seems to lack a way to block just one specific .jpg.

When I right click an image and then select Adblock Image, the first option is a complete URL including filename and it only blocks that specific file. Other files on the site don't get affected.

I think I know what you mean now. The site you want is normally blocked by the Adblock filters and you want to whitelist the site but only block a specific image? In that case then I don't think it'd do what you mean.

Yup, that's the problem. So I need an opt-in version of Adblock+, similar to how yesscript is the opposite of noscript.

The site in question is http://www.digitalhome.ca, which is run by an obsessive nanny type from Toronto. Yesterday, he installed a scripting system to prevent viewing of the forum posts by anyone using Firefox/Adblock+, in a rude attempt to piss off his content creators (users).

So, now I whitelist the site in Adblock+, and use yesscript to get rid of his incredibly annoying flash adverts. But there's still one small image advert I'd like to nuke.

Cheers

The site has the forum thread inside a massive div called Ad1 which is why it disappears when Adblock is enabled. I thought you could make it whitelist that specific site and that specific div but it doesn't seem to do it for me when I tried. Hmm...

Load the page with Adblock+ enabled. Right-click on the ABP icon and select "Open blockable items". Find "###Ad1", right-click on it, and select "Disable filter ###Ad1". Now right-click on the ABP icon again and select "Preferences". In the new dialog, click "Add filter". Enter this filter: "~digitalhome.ca###Ad1".

What all of this does is disable the filter that's matching the content on your web site, then re-add the same filter, except telling it to do it everywhere except digitalhome.ca.

Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that Adblock supports element exception rules.

Mmm.. thanks for the hint. I'll have a look at that div later.

Cheers
