A certain website i frequent has had it's ads go a little crazy and adblock whilst removing some left the outlines of others, so I packed a hissy fit, and looked for a way to get rid of these outlines etc

I have tried both Platypus (in conjunction with Greasemonkey of course) and RIP and they both do this to a point,
However when a page loads and this is just for 1/2 a second the outlines of the adboxes appear, is there a way to stop this happening?

I like the look of platypus as i would like to move some of the HTML elements around (move forum jump and clock up to the top)


And on a completely different note has anyone tried aardvark as it looks quite handy especially as it is a bookmarklet

666982 2008-05-07 09:34:00 I use Aardvark all the time as a Firefox add-on, for a couple of years now.

Works well.

Have you tried Stylish add-on?

P.S. Note that it doesn't (yet) move the forum jump and the clock...

666985 2008-08-17 08:26:00 If you're especially fortunate having both RIP & Aardvark installed with enable "bonus" features in RIP. Thereby giving you similar powers of Platypus but with xpathy goodness (no GM required).

I have yet to determine the particular conditions to replicate this bonus, and the extension author is a bit confused as well.... here's hoping you sort it out
