Describe the issue

I'm trying to eliminate the right ads bar on inoreader.com.
By using the following uBlock handmade filter I've been able to remove a layer but I still have an empty bar on the right:

! 7/24/2017, 10:14:54 PM https://www.inoreader.com/feed/*
www.inoreader.com###sinner_container

Any idea how I can remove such bar and expand the text of the articles?

Screenshot(s)

Without the filter: https://anonimag.es/i/5357c3e44c6282cab67ad259cb5bff7e.png
With the filter: https://anonimag.es/i/fb53724ba89612d1f84c752e8ea9862b.png

Versions

• Browser/version: Firefox 54.0.1 and Google Chrome 60.0.3112.78 (Official Build) (64-bit)
• uBlock Origin version: 1.13.8

Settings

• Not many changes on settings apart from 2 personal filters (unrelated to inoreader.com) and whitelist

Notes

• I've already opened 2 threads, one on EasyList forum https://forums.lanik.us/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=37631 and another on reddit/uBlockOrigin https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/6pb8ie/inoreadercom_feed_reader_removing_right_bar_ads/ without a solution yet.
• I've noticed that the ads bar disappears if I open my bookmarks sidebar in Firefox and I refresh the page (e.g., by moving to another feed). Probably Inoreader recognize that the screen is squeezed from the left and removes the ads bar. Still, it comes back soon as I close the bookmarks sidebar and I refresh the page.
  
  
  
  • Here are 2 screenshots:
  
  
  • With bookmarks sidebar open: https://anonimag.es/i/87340df98840b2177971cc7de0534e79.png
  
  
  • With bookmarks sidebar closed: https://anonimag.es/i/f2fac182c016b50f3c0c66b71ad4fb38.png
  
  
  • The main difference is that in the list of cosmetic filters I see:
  
  
  • With bookmarks sidebar open: ###reader_pane.reader_pane_view_style_0
  
  
  • With bookmarks sidebar closed: ###reader_pane.reader_pane_view_style_0.reader_pane_sinner
  
  
  • Can I use this information somehow? E.g., by forcing the use of [###reader_pane.reader_pane_view_style_0]

As you can see I added a commit 3 hours ago, just update your lists.

[rpodric]

Thanks, but that commit, while hiding the warning, doesn't actually allow you to use the keyboard afterwards since the dialog is really still there (just hidden).

I think it'll take preventing the dialog from coming up in the first place.

[mapx-]

Test this filter, see if works
||inoreader.com/adv/$script,redirect=noopjs,first-party

[rpodric]

That restored kb use in Chrome, but didn't in my main browser (based on Chromium). I eventually figured out that was because in that browser I'm running a userscript for the site, and that userscript must counteract your line. Unclear if it's possible to use them together.

[rpodric]

OK, so you reverted the previous change and went with that line, which works (the issue I mentioned aside), but with this line in EasyList, why did it turn out to be needed? It seems like they should both effectively do the same thing, but clearly not.

.com/adv/

[mapx-]

read about redirecting
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Static-filter-syntax#redirect

[rpodric]

Yes, I had read that. So, in one case, it's redirected to a dummy resource. And in the other case, it's blocked. Two different ways, seemingly, of accomplishing the same thing.

[mapx-]

In this case the site is testing if https://www.inoreader.com/adv/www/delivery/ajs.php still exists, if not => the anti adb overlay is enabled

$v.html().indexOf('/adv/www/delivery/ajs.php')===-1

so, it's important to have at least a neutered version of that object

[rpodric]

I see that you further refined it. Still works great, but I'm wondering if this is the best place to bring up an issue also beyond me that predates the most recent one: the "scroll tracking" feature (Mark items as read when you scroll past them) doesn't work in some circumstances. It's mainly noticeable in list view, where you'll see that scrolling only goes so far, if it goes at all, breaking the feature. It happens in some other views too, depending on the number/size of the articles.

I think it's something to do with the way that ads, or maybe the spacing, above and below the content are being handled . This can be seen by disabling EasyList, which reveals large gaps above and below the content, with "Remove ads" links nearby. Scroll tracking works when it's in that state, but of course that's not a great state. I have a feeling that a tweak to the filter that handles these ads/spacing would fix it.

[rpodric]

@mapx - Looks like the problem is back today.

[mapx-]

I get it randomly, test these filters:

@@||inoreader.com/adv/$first-party,script,image
||pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js$script,redirect=noopjs,domain=inoreader.com
@@||inoreader.com^$generichide
inoreader.com##.ad_title

[rpodric]

Yes, it was random, but those changes seem to have fixed it. They do leave a gap above the articles, but coincidentally that solves the scrolling issue I mentioned yesterday.

[okiehsch]

The filters for this site have now disabled the sign in functionality....

[rpodric]

Interesting, I didn't see that happen, but then I never explicitly log out, so I'm always auto-logged in. Do you log out?

[okiehsch]

I only have a test account, I am not a user of the site and inoreader.com##.inno_dialog_modal hides

which is the reason I have removed it.

[okiehsch]

There are some other entries that are not needed as far as I can see, for example the exception filters, but the site will no doubt change up in a matter of hours/days anyway.

[Smultie]

I'm getting adblock detected screens again!

[mapx-]

Did you force an update right now ?

[Smultie]

Yessir!

[mapx-]

If you still see a setTimeout filter in your logger => the update failed => purge & update your lists

Looks okay?

[mapx-]

Nothing to do with inoreader, read again what I wrote above. Did you purge + update your lists ??

[Smultie]

Yes of course
Can't reproduce at the moment though, since the popup doesn't always show up.

[Smultie]

Just had one again. Fully updated

[mapx-]

add

inoreader.com##[id*="modal_overlay"]
inoreader.com##.adb_left:xpath(../..)

[Smultie]

I'll try! Thanks

[mapx-]

or ... being an annoyance you could simply click "not for this session" button (or something like that)

add

inoreader.com##[id*="modal_overlay"]
inoreader.com##.adb_left:xpath(../..)

Thanks. It worked for me too.
But there's a huge issue. The website hotkeys won't work this way. Can't refresh feeds, mark all as read, etc.

[mikhaelkh]

They're setting aguineapigtrickedme cookie for 1 day which hides the "adblock detecteed" dialog.

[cannafu]

add

inoreader.com##[id*="modal_overlay"]
inoreader.com##.adb_left:xpath(../..)

Thanks mapx
For me, only the hotkeys don't work, which is extremely inconvenient. I can refresh feeds, mark all as read.

[rpodric]

Don't use those lines.

[cannafu]

Don't use those lines.
Then a popup appears

[rpodric]

Once a day, which is better than no hotkeys.

[cannafu]

Once a day, which is better than no hotkeys.
Yes, I will agree, perhaps :)

[maboloshi]

I have hidden the "adblock detecteed" dialog. However, I hope that inoreader has enough funds to support free users. I don't provide the code directly here. Actually the complete code is in my gist.
Tip Use :not

[mikhaelkh]

@maboloshi, hotkeys with your rules doesn't work too.
Better solution is click not now and protect the cookie aguineapigtrickedme.

Thanks. Is it possible to extend the validity period or only one day?

[maboloshi]

@mikhaelkh According to your idea, you can solve it with a simple userjavascript file.

// ==UserScript==
// @name Hide Inoreader Ad
// @include http://www.inoreader.com/*
// @include https://www.inoreader.com/*
// @icon http://www.inoreader.com/favicon.ico
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==
document.cookie = "aguineapigtrickedme=1; path=/; ";

Before trying userjavascript, you need to click "not now". Now, the hotkeys work properly.

[mikhaelkh]

@maboloshi I manually increased duration of the cookie, works so far

[maboloshi]

@mikhaelkh, I forgot to click ‘not now‘ before I tried the userjavascript. Now, the hotkeys work properly. Thank you ideas.

[Smultie]

Any way to do this with uBlock?

What is this supposed to do? I still get the adblock detected warning.

[rpodric]

That's because the site no longer uses a cookie for that (I expect that they're subscribed to this thread).

Oh, well... That didn't last long.

[mikhaelkh]

What's the point in exception filters if they don't prevent anti-adblock popup?

[maboloshi]

Use userjavascript shielding function adb_detected.

Why closed? @mapx-

Did you test the site ? is working for now
