Disable IntelliTXT is back!

| | Comments (4)

Update 2: DisableIntelliTXT is now DisableTextAds! Check it out here.

UPDATE: A newer version is up! You can read about it here, or you can install it using the links below.

Well, I finally got around to updating my GreaseMonkey plugin for blocking contextual ads. Around June, Vibrant Media figured out what I was doing and modified their system to render my plugin ineffective, at least for sites that don't explicitly allow disabling of intelliTXT ads. So, I've modified the plugin to work by modifying the page itself. The end effect is the same; in fact, it's slightly better, as there's no need to reload the page to see the results.

As an added bonus, I've added preliminary support for blocking similar ads by Kontera - guess I need to think about a name change! At any rate, you can grab the latest version here or over at UserScripts.

Works great, only one problem I noticed is that when it removes the link on the word, it also REMOVES the word. Is this intended?

Bah! You caught me. The current version is a bit buggy. I'm working on it promise.

Any ETA on an update? A forum I read is using Kontera and I loathe the site without some sort of blocker... but when I use your blocker I'm losing words and it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. :)

Sorry for the extended delay - turns out GreaseMonkey doesn't give me the tools I need to do this the way I wanted. I've got an alternate approach - I'll try to post an update this week, though my day job is keeping me a bit busy. :)
