Ad-Block Element Rules for Manually Blocking Google, Yahoo and Bing Content

Codes for manually blocking Google, Yahoo and Bing content with adblock filtering rules

 uBlock Origin

 The following codes below applies only to uBlock Origin (see the codes below for AdBlock and Adblock Plus) and blocks the image content on all different google languages sites:
google.*##.th
google.*##[id^="apthumb"]
google.*##[id^="vidthumb"]
google.*##[id^="imgthumb"]
google.*##[id="uid_0"]
google.*##[src^="data:image/jpeg"]
google.*##[class="rg_l"]
google.*##[class="rg_di rg_bx rg_fr"]
google.*##[class="rg_di rg_bx rg_el ivg-i"]
google.*##.rg_di.rg_bx.rg_el.ivg-i
google.*##.rg_fbl
google.*###rg_s
google.*##.y.yf
google.*##[class="_ekh"]
google.*##[class="_ygd"]
google.*##[class="_Cjf"]

google.*##.sidebarcover
AdBlock, Adblock Plus and uBlock Origin

 Since the above codes with the asterisk * character does not work on AdBlock and Adblock Plus (and Adblock Plus for Firefox), the block code needs to be changed. Although the below codes can be used in uBlock Origin, this is not recommended.

 Note: Since I removed “google.com” from the codes below (otherwise it would be “google.com##.th” and the same for the rest), this means that these blocking rules now applies to all the websites on the internet and hence includes every google language website in the world that different people may use. It is highly doubtful that any other website uses the exact same code as google so there shouldn’t be any problems. I have not encounter any problems on any site so far, but you could always pause the adblocker temporarily if some problem would occur on some website while still having an image blocker enabled. That would show if it is the custom filter list that is causing the problem, or if it is just the site that did not load properly or having some temporarily problem.
##.th
##[id^="apthumb"]
##[id^="vidthumb"]
##[id^="imgthumb"]
##[id="uid_0"]
##[src^="data:image/jpeg"]
##[class="rg_l"]
##[class="rg_di rg_bx rg_fr"]
##[class="rg_di rg_bx rg_el ivg-i"]
##.rg_di.rg_bx.rg_el.ivg-i
##.rg_fbl
###rg_s
##.y.yf
##[class="_ekh"]
##[class="_ygd"]
##[class="_Cjf"]
##[class="th _lub"]
##[class="th _lyb _Yqd"]
##[class="iuth"]
##[class="sidebarcover"]
##.top._vQb._mnc
##.bia.uh_rl
##._zyj
##._Udi.vk_c
##._PBj._uyj
##._lyb.th
##.rg_i.rg_ic
###rg_hi
##.rg_i
##._ygd
##._bgi
##._tek
##._lub.th
##._X6c
##._tLg
##._WCg
##._NJb
###\5f xQd
###uid_8
##.abspos
##.iuth
###uid_0
##G-IMG
##.sidebarcover
Note: If you have these codes enabled in your adblocker, this means that all unnecessary google images and thumbnails will not work at all, and you will need to completely disable or pause your adblocker in order to make any image content show itself again (icons in mail.google.com and similar things etc. will still work).

 These codes should block every single image and every single video thumbnail appearing on google (as of 2016) in addition to block every single summary book-frontcover in google books but still allowing you to read the content. But if there are still image elements that does not get blocked in google, or if they make changes in the future that will require new blocking codes, please let me know and I will look into it.

 I can also make rules for other search engines if needed (or any site for that matter), but in that case you will have to contact me about it, but as it is now, I would prefer people using google since I believe it is the better search engine anyway.

 The only other search engines I have manually generated some total block codes for is bing and yahoo:
bing.com##IMG
bing.com##[id^="emb"]
yahoo.com##IMG
search.yahoo.com##IMG
search.yahoo.com##IMG[class="s-img"]
search.yahoo.com##IMG[class="s-img d-b"]
images.search.yahoo.com##UL[id="sres"]
images.search.yahoo.com##IMG

Note: These block codes are recommended to be used even if you use an image blocker installed since (1) it will make google, bing and yahoo more safe to use, (2) not all image blockers blocks search engine images and thumbnails, (3) future updates of the addons that currently block those images may change and start to show them. One can just never know what will happen.

Best Ad-Block, Image & Flash/HTML5 Block Microsoft Edge, Safari and Others

Best ad-blockers, image blockers, and flash/html5 blockers for Microsoft Edge, Safari, and others
I have not tried every other webbrowser, so I cannot tell how good they are or how well they work with every extension. But in all likelihood though, none of them will be as convenient or user friendly or safe as Google Chrome or Opera, provided one follows the instructions and installs the same extensions as described in their detailed instruction, and for these reasons, I cannot recommend any other webbrowser to be used except for Chrome or Opera.

 If you still want to use any other webbrowsers (which I do not recommend since they may not be safe), the recommendations and detailed descriptions already mentioned above will probably apply to the same extensions for any other webbrowser. For instance, AdBlock is the same in Opera as in Chrome (and I presume in Microsoft Edge and Safari); AdBlock Plus is the same in Google Chrome and Opera and almost the same in the Firefox version (and I presume in Microsoft Edge and Safari); uBlock Origin is the same in Chrome, Opera and Firefox (and I presume in Microsoft Edge); and Fast Image Blocker is the same in Opera, Firefox and Chrome (this image blocker does not seem to be available in other browsers at present).

 Note: If Microsoft Edge or Safari do not have Flash blockers, html5 blockers, and image blockers, no one must use these webbrowsers as their main webbrowser since they would be unsafe to use.

 However, it sometimes happens that people have no other webbrowser to use besides from Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer (and I presume Safari for Mac users), such after a clean install of Windows 10. No problem. Internet Explorer can still be be found and used in Windows 10. Just search Internet Explorer and it will show itself.

See the Internet Explorer section above for information on how to block images manually and change homepage in this browser.

 Explorer is much more safe to use temporarily than Edge since Edge can’t block any images manually at all as far as I know. Edge’s start page is also more dangerous since it shows large pictures that I fear can be immodest.

 Open this browser with caution if you have not changed its start page yet. Try to avoid looking at the screen or only looking at the address bar with your head tilted upwards (this works well if one has glasses and has poor near sight), and just type anything into the address bar and press enter in order to escape their site. When you have done so, you can safely enter options and change the start page. To do so, click the three dots “…”, go to “Settings”, then go to “Advanced settings”. Here you can change the homepage to www.google.com or www.google.com/ncr if it redirects you to some other language.

Note: Remember to press the save icon just to the right where you are typing when finished (shown in the red circle).

 Also change “Open new tabs with” to “A blank page” in order not to be exposed to any lascivious material from Microsoft. To do so, click the three dots “…”, then go to “Settings”, here you will find “Open new tabs with”. Change it to “A blank page”.

Any other extensions that are different for various webbrowsers, such as different flash/html5 blockers, or other image blocker extensions should work in the same way as already explained in the Chrome or Firefox sections. But then again, it is highly likely that the same problems as described on the Firefox section applies to every other webbrowser on the net, since none of them probably have the same kind of convenient and easy to use Image Block extension as Google Chrome has, which means that more people may grow tired and disable the Image/Flash Block extensions frequently unless they use Google Chrome.

 Again, read the information about why Google Chrome is so much more recommended and why I want everyone use it as their main webbrowser before any other.

Best Ad-Block Internet Explorer: How to Disable Images, Flash, Java etc. in Internet Explorer

Best ad-blocker for Internet Explorer with detailed instructions on how to completely disable images and flash in Internet Explorer webbrowser

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Comment: “Thank you so much for the information [below]. I will implement the blockers soon for my explorer. Internet Explorer is my main web browser.”

 Answer: You must not use Internet Explorer as your main webbrowser. It is complete and utter rubbish. Have you ever tried Google Chrome? (Download Google Chrome for Desktop Computer/Laptop; or Google Chrome for Mobile.)

 Use Google Chrome/Opera. It is more safe, and much better.

 You commit mortal sin if you obstinately continue to use Internet Explorer as your main webbrowser after having been told not to do so. It can’t block images conveniently (which means almost all people probably won’t block images on most websites because of that, since they would have to enter settings every time to enable/disable the images), it also can’t block flash conveniently (which means almost all people probably won’t block flash on most websites because of that, since they would have to enter settings every time to enable/disable flash content), and it can’t block html5 content at all.

 Because of these reasons, no one must use Internet Explorer as their main webbrowser in obedience to God’s law which requires us to avid occasions of sinning when it is possible to do so, under pain of mortal sin. Using Internet Explorer is an occasion of sinning since it is not convenient to easily enable/disable images and flash content in this webbrowser, and hence most people will probably not disable images and flash all the time (and only enable it when necessary) as they must be doing. It also can’t block html5, as already mentioned, which means that people will get exposed to automatically playing videos on youtube, news sites, and who knows what else from other websites and pop up screens etc.

 And there is also the specific problem that will happen when people want to see images or watch a video on a certain website with the Internet Explorer browser. And that is that they would have to enable all images and flash content completely for the whole website and for every other website (at least temporarily) in order to see the content, which is unacceptable.

 In Google Chrome, on the other hand, you can just click on a button and you can enable any specific video or audio that is blocked on any website and make it play, and you could just click on a button in order to make any specific image (or all images) on any website show itself (without necessarily enabling all of them).

 See this section on Google Chrome image blockers and follow the instructions:

https://against-all-heresies-and-errors.blogspot.com/2016/11/best-and-safest-image-blockers-for-google-chrome.html

Read the whole section above and all information about all the image blockers for Google Chrome that you must be using in order to make this browser perfectly safe.

 Then read the flash/html5 section and do as it says:

 https://against-all-heresies-and-errors.blogspot.com/2016/11/best-flash-and-html5-blockers-for-google-chrome.html

Install all the same addons as explained above, then start reading the information about the Adblockers:

 https://against-all-heresies-and-errors.blogspot.com/2016/11/best-ad-blockers-for-google-chrome-opera-safari-and-microsoft-egde.html#uBlock-Origin-for-Chrome-Firefox-Opera-and-Edge

You don’t have to read all the information about every adblocker for Google Chrome. It is enough if you read the uBlock Origin entries if you decide to use that adblocker (which I recommend you to do).

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Internet Explorer is almost completely useless and is not recommended to be used by anyone, not only because it has almost zero support for extensions, but also because it is so bad, as anyone would know who have ever tried another webbrowser.

 If people don’t use a webbrowser that can use extensions to full capacity (or if they don’t have an Adblock, Flash block or Image block installed) they must change internet browser and install the extensions by virtue of obedience to God’s law that demands modesty and the avoidance of occasions of falling into sin when it is possible to do so.

 See the entry on Google Chrome webbrowser which is the best and safest webbrowser to use of them all.

But it sometimes happens that people have no other webbrowser to use, such after a clean install of Windows. No problem, it can be made safe and can block images even without extensions.

 Internet Explorer 11 is also available for Windows 10, although it is not easily found.

 Just search “Internet Explorer” in the Windows 10 search and you will find it.

Why and how you should completely disable images in Internet Explorer even if you never use it

 Note: Because many desktop programs use Internet Explorer’s desktop functionality in their pop up screens or other related content, this means that if you completely disabled images in the Internet Explorer settings you will never see their ads, their images or whatever else they want to impose on you.

 If you have no other webbrowser at hand or want to block images manually in Internet Explorer options, go to “tools”, “internet alternatives” or “options”, then go to “advanced”. In the multimedia section, you will see a text which says, “show images”, uncheck this and press ok. No images will now be shown. To make images appear again, follow the same steps. You can also disable java and flash and other related objects on the same advanced option page in Internet Explorer.

How to disable flash in Internet Explorer

 Note: To my knowledge, this fix works only for flash related content and does not block html5 from automatically playing.

 If you want to block flash manually in Internet Explorer, click on the “gear” tools icon, and then select “Manage add-ons”.

After having selected “Manage add-ons”, look for an object called “Shockwave Flash”,  and then click on it and “Disable” it.

After disabling it, all flash content will get blocked automatically.

 Best ad-blocker for Internet Explorer

 For those who want to use it occasionally for various reasons, such as website builders or htlm editors, there is also an adblock extension available:

 https://adblockplus.org/en/

 After installing the Adblock Plus program, in order to make the Adblock Plus icon appear in Internet Explorer 11 (for Windows 10), right click anywhere on the white column at the top of the webbrowser, and select “status bar”. The status bar will now show itself at the bottom of the webbrowser. Now enter Adblock Plus options and uncheck “show non-intrusive ads”.
Note: The Adblock Plus icon is now visible in the status bar at the bottom right side of the image.

 How to change homepage in Internet Explorer

 I also advice everyone to change the default homepage in Internet Explorer to www.google.com (or www.google.com/ncr if it redirects you to some other language) in order to avoid seeing immodest material on Microsoft’s own default homepage. You do this by clicking “tools” (the gear icon), then “internet alternatives” or “options”.

When finished, press ok.
