instagram ads annoy me, really. and they are endless. i wish there were a way to stop them but seems there is no way. but thanks to them i am not scrolling on instagram as i used to, nevertheless i use instagram almost everyday.<p>i have been hiding ads manually for a long while, and even blocking the advertiser account but that's not an effective way. so i give a try to selenium ide which i had no idea how it works<p>after an hour or so googling and some testing i have a working selenium ide test which hides ads for me. i run it 3 times with 100 each and blocked roughly 30 ads in each run, and including the trial-and-error runs, i guess it hid me over 100 ads already
here how the selenium test looks like >><p><a href="https://bit.ly/44KAOmt" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://bit.ly/44KAOmt</a><p>and here are my test results:<p><a href="https://bit.ly/3qakKeA" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://bit.ly/3qakKeA</a><p><a href="https://bit.ly/3OAIwKf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://bit.ly/3OAIwKf</a><p><a href="https://bit.ly/4581Vra" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://bit.ly/4581Vra</a><p>i would love to hear some suggestions!
