I am amazed at how quickly GoodVibrations.css has spread. I've been contacted by helpful coders from as far off as Japan and Saudi Arabia with tweaks and fixes for this little ad blocker. This was always meant to be a community effort, and now I think there is enough momentum that it might actually happen.In addition to a few more fixes, the current beta code is being organized to make it easier to find a specific rule. Once this part of the optimization is finished, it will be simple to use Safari's Element Inspector to identify the rule causing false positivies.Eventually, I would like to put together a simple editing interface (maybe a locally hosted html form) so end users will have an easier time editing the file themselves.Current Beta

Thank you so much for all of
Thank you so much for all of your hard work. I'm not adept enough with CSS (yet) to offer any help, but I really appreciate what you have put together. I got my BlackBook yesterday and although I use OSX at my university in the digital production labs, I haven't had a MAC as my primary computer since circa 1988 (when I was 5 or 6) and getting used to the nuanced differences in day to day use (as opposed to just FCP or Adobe or what have you) takes a bit of time. Unimpressed with FireFox for OSX (pretty much my exclusive Windows browser), I spent some time searching for an AdBlock Plus replacement and this is the best solution I have been able to come across so far. So thanks!

there's a small problem with macnn.com...top right side of the main page has some overlapping just below the stock price. any chance there's a simple fix? or is it just me?
Jeff: It looks like MacNN was
Jeff: It looks like MacNN was depending upon the ads to cause that text to wrap. Bad design choice on their part. I'm looking into it, but I can't make any promises.

i thought it was something like that...definitely a bad design choice. wish i could help, but all i can do is show my support. so...good luck and thanks for your and everyone else's hard work on this awesome css file :) on another note, i wonder if it's possible to write a little applescript or have some way of creating a button that would disable the css file, then re-enable it with another click for sites that have this sort of problem? something that would save having to go into prefs?

Does this just hide ads or block them from being downloaded in the first place? What I am getting at does it actually save bandwidth?
thanks

ljun: Thanks for catching that one! I added that fix to the current beta.
George: No bandwidth is saved (as far as I know). The CSS commands are HIDE and DISPLAY NONE. So, I assume that they are downloaded. It sounds like you are looking for PRIVOXY (which will filter out content before it gets to your computer.

go there, and click on "reply" on the original post, it doesn't drop the reply box down to allow for a response :)

otherwise, great CSS!

On a youtube profile with good vibrations on, the language selector is stuck open and cannot be closed. I provided a website but any YouTube user profile page will do.

Well ... first I'd like to say bravo, I've been looking awhile for something like this, and I'm just stunned it comes out so simply. Great job !!
My issue is a weird one ... maybe not the most important.
On Al Jazeera.Net ( the arabic part ) in the flash "head title" (select Flash on top left corner if it is HTML ) the arabic text isn't shown correctly, no ligature ( even if you've never seen arabic, you can compare with the body of the page to see the difference ).
I tried to switch from Western ISO Latin to Unicode UTF-8,
but no change :-/
Maybe you can figure what's going wrong ?

Hi eric, you can use the Contact link at the top of the page and email it to me there. Also, let me know if you would like to become a regular contributor. I am in the process of setting up an online editing system so this can really become a community effort.
