I cannot reproduce the ads.

EDIT: quora.com##div[id$="content_wrapper"] seems to work for all ads - desktop and mobile. It may be a bit generic, but it seems it's only in use where there are ads. Otherwise this will work too.

quora.com##.PromptsList:has(a[href*="utm_campaign"])
quora.com##.pagedlist_item:has(a[href*="utm_campaign"])

Mobile
quora.com##.pagedlist_item:has(.advertiser_endpoint)

[jspenguin2017]

Not working anymore.

Ads appear to be back again, I can't reproduce.

I'm surprised at how tenacious Quora is at bypassing adblockers...

[uBlock-user]

Add

quora.com##[rel="nofollow noopener"]
quora.com##div:has-text(/^ad by/)

[terrorist96]

That works, thanks.

[uBlock-user]

Changed again, add --

quora.com##[rel*="noopener"]
quora.com##[rel*="nofollow"]
quora.com##div:has-text(/^ad/)

[andersk]

quora.com##[rel*="noopener"] is way too broad—it hides all external links in legitimate answers.

[okiehsch]

Thanks for reporting.

quora.com##[rel*="noopener"] quora.com##[rel*="nofollow"]
are hiding the links, so I will remove them.

need more long lasting solution , all contributors

i see
promoted by .............................. ads

this is very annoying
what you say @jspenguin2017

[jspenguin2017]

Eh, the only way to make it long lasting is keeping solutions private. If it's public they can always work around them.

[ghajini]

adguard does benefit......

[uBlock-user]

i see ads

Because the last commit was reverted https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/commit/5eff447a36774725cffc428ada8acd093f90fbe8

[uBlock-user]

quora.com##[disable_auto_login*="True"] works without seemingly breaking any links or anything else.

quora.com##[href*="campaign"][rel="noopener"] 's a bit more specific and doesn't break anything.

[terrorist96]

I see ads again.

[lassekongo83]

quora.com##[id*=wrapper]:has-text(/ad\s{1,}by /i) in uBlock Filters hides the entire page on mobile. Perhaps it should be added inside !#if !env_mobile instead.

quora.com##.top_slot and quora.com##.lower_slot seems to work on mobile. (And the last one on desktop too.)

Other possible filter that can be added for desktop: quora.com##:xpath(//div[contains(text(), 'ad') and contains(text(), 'by')]/parent::div/parent::div/parent::div[@id])

[terrorist96]

Confirm I see ads. @krystian3w's solution leaves the Ad by xxx text but blocks the ad content.

[silverbacknet]

Gah, this completely broke my feed! Now every time I click to open an answer that has the last few lines shown, the entire answer instantly disappears! This is because, at least on my account (Quora is notorious for A/B testing), Quora adds the ad _directly onto the end of the post after expanding_, so this rule kills the whole post! It started happening this weekend, and seeing as the commit was 6 days ago, that perfectly explains it. Please revert this commit pending further testing.

Update filters, it was removed earlier today.
