uBlock Origin, unlike AdBlock Plus and other alternatives, doesn't allow companies to pay to whitelist their ads, and it blocks trackers too. Using it will provide the best experience on Wikia, as the majority of ads and slowdowns will be eliminated.
To block videos using uBlock Origin:
- Click the uBlock Origin icon in your browser
- Then click 'Open dashboard' (the furthest icon on the right under the power icon)
- Click
3rd party filters
- Click the
Update now
button and then enableuBlock filters - Annoyances
You can add the following as a filter yourself:
fandom.com##.featured-video__wrapper
||*.jwpcdn.com^$script,domain=fandom.com,important
*.jwplatform.com^$script,domain=fandom.com,important
Due to FANDOM's Terms of Use, it would be a violation for us to remove the videos using JavaScript and CSS site-wide for all of our users. Instead, if you have a Wikia account, follow the steps below if you would like to hide these videos yourself:
- Go to this page, and tick Enable personal JavaScript
- Go to this page
- Edit the page, paste this code in on a new line and save:
$('.featured-video__wrapper').remove();
- (Optional) Go to this page
- (Optional) Edit the page, paste this code in on a new line and save:
.featured-video__wrapper {
display: none;
}
A further addition, it seems
p.jwpcdn.com
is actually an allow entry on the EasyList filter list, which means if you really want to block the video scripts, you should use thisThe
important
overrides other filter lists.Also the filter mentioned in the gist above should probably be amended to use
fandom.com
instead ofwikia.com
now that they're migrating/migrated everything.
