Hi, Audry
Is it possible to find a general plugin to remove ads in a webpage?
I examined the webpage myself and found that, if I remove the content after a string "<li class='comments'>", most ads can be skipped and the stored page would be significantly smaller - one third the orginal size.
If possible, could you kindly also code the pre_save function for the job?
The webpage is:
http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-12-10/apples-cook-says-more-macs-will-be-born-in-the-u-dot-s-dot-a-dot
If you think this request is annoying, could you kindly send me an example doing similar stuff?
Thanks!

Hi,
You can remove ads with a plugin, but it's difficult to write a general plugin. There is no a common method to recognize ads.
Any webpage is a tree in point view of browser. Tree nodes have ids or classes. You can remove nodes with specified ids/classes and ads will be removed. But each site uses his own ids/classes( Therefore general ads cleaner is impossible.
I wrote a simple plugin for businessweek.com articles -
//MPIQPlugin
//Type=PreSave
//Name=AntiAds
//Author=anfilat
function remove(nodes) {
var node;
for (i = nodes.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
node = nodes[i];
node.parentElement.removeChild(node);
}
}
function MP_PreSave() {
var dre1, dmn, host, classes, ids;
dre1 = new RegExp(/sanitize_seed_3pncu3gsfk4k84s8ws8gkgkk[sanitize_seed_3pncu3gsfk4k84s8ws8gkgkk^sanitize_seed_3pncu3gsfk4k84s8ws8gkgkk\/]+\/\/(sanitize_seed_3pncu3gsfk4k84s8ws8gkgkk[sanitize_seed_3pncu3gsfk4k84s8ws8gkgkk^sanitize_seed_3pncu3gsfk4k84s8ws8gkgkk\/]+)(?:\/(.*))?/);
dmn = document.URL.match(dre1);
if (dmn) {
host = dmn[1].toLowerCase();
if (host == "www.businessweek.com") {
classes = '.advertisement, .banner_ad';
ids = '#google_ads, #taboola-grid-2x2, #taboola-text-links, #taboola_wrapper, #bw_mall';
remove(document.querySelectorAll(classes + ', ' + ids));
}
}
}

Hi, Andrey
Maybe it's worthwhile for me to learn something about Javascript.
Thanks a lot for your kindly help!

It's required a lot of time. Is a best solution, you can use Chrome\Opera with AdBlock and Inquiry extensions.
In fact, I want to remove not only those ads but also all the irrelevant information around the article, especially the large bulk at the bottom, which significantly increases the size of stored stuff.
Anyway, thanks for your advice!

You can try the Readability service http://readability.com for it
I woud try it. Thanks!
