Describe the issue

Video and image: "Sponsored" ads section under Photos

Screenshot(s)

Versions

• Browser/version: Chrome Version 68.0.3440.106 (Official Build) (64-bit)
• uBlock Origin version: uBlock Origin v1.16.16, standard filters (uBlock filters, Badware, Privacy, Resource, Unbreak)

Notes

Have tried Chrome Incognito with no extensions activated and still seeing the "Sponsored" section, so don't think it's some add-on or script I have enabled.

Thanks

@prech you could try the element picker to create a cosmetic filter for that sponsored section

Thanks for the responses, all -- Much appreciate it!

Few notes:
Not an Amazon Prime member, unfortunately.

The "Sponsored" ads section is present in Opera and Chrome Canary -- no adblocking used for either. Basically, no extensions installed. I use adware/malware detectors, and scan regularly, so I'm hoping it's nothing like that. These ads seem to be IMDB.com specific, as I haven't seen this elsewhere.

I also tried a VPN in Canary for Germany, United Kingdom, and Singapore, and the ads are intermittent, maybe 75%+? Without the VPN, I seem to see it 100% of the time -- I'm in the US.

As for using the element picker, unfortunately, it looks like it's something that changes often. There's not convenient ID/class selector from Chrome Inspector, or a simple nth-child of an easy to see parent selector. Maybe someone more experienced with CSS has an idea?

Thanks

try
imdb.com##.article:has-text(Sponsored)

try
imdb.com##.article:has-text(Sponsored)

Thank you, that worked!

May I ask how many layers/parents "has-text" can search through? Or if there is a limit? I see the text "Sponsored" is actually several parent/children layers down, in ".widget_header", which is three layers away from the .article selector:

.article > .ab_widget > .ab_ninja > .widget_header

No limit as I know

Might this "imdb.com##.article:has-text(Sponsored)" be incorporated into the next uBlock filter set?
