You might be able to right-click and block the element from the menu there Or if you use ublock, the filter is "forums.ditchthelabel.org###yt__acme_slider_header" 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm I'm not familiar with Opera's adblocker but looking it up it seems the only way to manually add custom filters is via making a custom list. (Whether or not you do this depends on how important blocking this thing is to you XD) It seems like lists can go in text files, but I don't really know the syntax. I'd probably try to make a .txt file with just that filter in it on a single line and then see if there's an option to upload that as a custom list under the first manage lists section? 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to do this all on pretty much any device, I just used Windows as an example because it's usually fairly safe to assume that any given person is using it XD 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illumi Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 should i just let the file stay as a rich text document or change it into smth else? i did add the dot txt behind the file name though so it should save as a txt file right MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignore the formats list — there should be a "make plain text" option under the Formats section in the menu bar, so if you click that and then save it normally it should be correct? 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
