Or save Dom tree to create ExtendedCSS (procedural) filter.

Language specific, not everyone like English e.g. Italian 🇮🇹 or Spaniard / Spanish 🇪🇸.

IMO c to avoid match posts with lament to other influences with too much sponsored posts.

okiehsch · 2022-08-17T07:33:53Z

@MasterKia Are we sure that does not break anything, if that's the case add them.

I don't know much about it but could that not also hide some influencer instagram posts?

MasterKia · 2022-08-17T07:50:58Z

AdGuard hasn't got any reports about instagram.com sponsored posts in the recent months:
https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/issues?q=instagram.com

So I think we should wait and see if there are more reports about this in uAssets then we could add one of these filters.

krystian3w · 2022-08-17T08:02:20Z

Have here AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters#123556 (first and last two @adguard-bot reports form 4 / 2 days ago and Alex 302 wrote suggestion).

BruhMomient · 2022-08-17T22:21:10Z

Have seen sponsored posts on the timeline, I'm assuming that's what OP is talking about?
Here's a screenshot.

@BruhMomient

Add these to "My filters" one by one and tell us which one (A, B or C) removes the sponsored posts:
#14370 (comment)

krystian3w · 2022-08-18T12:32:31Z

And if it blinks after scrolling then use Alex 302 suggestion with split to two filters:

instagram.com##main > section div[style^="flex-direction: column;"] > article > div:has(span:contains(Sponsored)):style(visibility: hidden !important;)

Or

instagram.com##main > section div[style^="flex-direction: column;"] > article > div:has(span:contains(Sponsored))

MasterKia · 2022-08-18T17:24:11Z

@okiehsch
AdGuard fixed it:
AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters@6b57f3c

Should we add the same?

okiehsch · 2022-08-18T17:56:41Z

Ok.

MasterKia · 2022-08-18T18:07:18Z

I'm uncertain to add the "Sponsored" translated in Russian
(/Спонсор публикации:|Sponsored/))

okiehsch · 2022-08-18T18:10:21Z

Yeah, let's keep it english only for now.

krystian3w · 2022-08-18T18:59:59Z

Maybe AdGuard Addons again disabled use:

tabs.insertCSS() / scripting.insertCSS()

Then hidding works bad on pages. Apps no support WebExtension API at all, then works similar like addon without this API.

Yuki2718 · 2022-08-19T16:32:28Z

@MasterKia :contains() is AG syntax.

MasterKia · 2022-08-19T16:41:15Z

@krystian3w Why the dislike?

krystian3w · 2022-08-19T16:43:35Z

These change should be confirmed from devtools about lag/delay in hide elements or ate too many RAM at start browser or forced update list.

MasterKia · 2022-08-19T16:45:05Z

AFAIK uBO will internally change the compatible syntax at filter list compile time.

krystian3w · 2022-08-31T06:59:19Z

This looks strange for conversion:

uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues#2228

So it must be on a "strange" level that the error is not in EL syntax and deprecated :if(.

So if posts back in Chrome 105 (now served as stable) then needed is jump to development built.

calvinthefreak · 2023-01-03T09:32:27Z

Sadly Instagrams Adblocking breaks if you set instagram to any other Language then English...

in the German Version the "sponsored" text is "Gesponsert" and sadly thus the Ads show up...

MasterKia · 2023-01-03T09:47:08Z

Does this work for you?

instagram.com#?#main > div > section div[style*="flex-direction: column;"] > article > div:has(span:has-text(/Gesponsert/)):style(visibility: hidden !important;)
instagram.com#?#main > div > section div[style*="flex-direction: column;"] > article > div:has(span:has-text(/Gesponsert/))

calvinthefreak · 2023-01-03T12:51:43Z

@MasterKia Yes, I added those rules my self, works, just wanted to check this for few Hours until answering here, but I think, that this rules should be added too.

MasterKia · 2023-01-03T13:24:03Z

AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters#138429

But that bad filter is different from the one being discussed here.

krystian3w · 2023-01-03T13:26:36Z

Also possible spend time to create path inside :has(:

:has(> foo > bar > don-t > longer > touch-comments > span:has-text(Un anuncio muy molesta))

Yuki2718 · 2023-01-03T13:32:35Z

But that bad filter is different from the one being discussed here.

Okay, confirmed the rule doesn't have the problem.

MasterKia · 2023-01-03T15:06:25Z

Added.

Yuki2718 · 2023-01-03T15:14:19Z

MasterKia · 2023-01-03T15:27:36Z

Good idea.
Do you think the #?# is needed?
instagram.com#?#main > div > section div[style*="flex-direction: column;"] > article > div:has(span:has-text(...))

Yuki2718 · 2023-01-03T15:46:41Z

Do you think the #?# is needed?

Don't know but it's safer to have it.

krystian3w · 2023-01-03T19:54:30Z

CSSTree omit/ignore ?, this was experimental fallback to force JavaScript implementation :has( instead native from Chrome 105+ for simple filters.
