How to block embedded images and videos
How to block embedded images and videos
Considering the latest rash of spam images plaguing the platform, I decided to figure out how to block embeds entirely since I never really liked them in the first place and am sharing what I got working since I figured it might be something others would like to enable themselves. (Fyi, this method requires uBlock Origin)
- Open your uBlock settings and navigate to the 'My Filters' section
- At the bottom of the document, add two breaks and then paste this:
lemm.ee##p > span
- If your instance is different than
lemm.ee
, then replace that with the instance you use to have it work.
With that enabled, images and videos shouldn't load in comments anymore. I'm sure there's a better way to do this, so feel free to share if you know! This is just what I knew how to get work asap. Hope it helps some people!
*0.19 seems to have borked the method I previously posted, but I was able to find another string that works that seems to be more efficient anyhow. Hopefully this one works for a while! I'm going to leave the old strings at the bottom here just to cover all bases. To reiterate, these are the old strings that, afik, do NOT work anymore.
lemm.ee##.comment-content > .md-div > p > [src]
lemm.ee##.comment-content > .md-div > p > video
