Demonoid Ad Remover

Removes all known Demonoid ads, and fixes some annoyances. (v1.15)

This script removes all known Demonoid ads. It then uses the newly available whitespace to fill out the page. The latest version now removes the Kontera contextual ads.

Current Version: 1.15

Features

Things that are removed include:
  • "Sponsored links" in the torrent listings
  • Top and sidebar ads
  • Donation ad
  • Disclaimer at the bottom
  • Kontera contextual ads removed
  • Other misc text ads throughout the site
Also, there are a few tweaks to calm my OCD -- mainly the menu bar background.

Version History

Version 1.15
* Fixed removal of Sponsored Links in the torrent listings. (Change may not be noticed if you have Adblock installed.)

Version 1.14
* Added removal of Kontera contextual ads. (Thanks pulseforce. Code from Grant Goodale.)
* Removed some older coding. Should increase the speed in theory.

Version 1.12
* Fixed the disappearing forum menu.

Version 1.11
* Fixed issue with sending PM's. (Exclude http://*demonoid.com/private_message.php*)

Version 1.1
* No longer calls a remote server for image replacements.

Works great, only request would be if you can make the top bar fit the bottom frame? The bar that consists of "Control Panel", "My Torrents", your upload and download rate, etc etc, extends out further than the frame that consists of the nav bar, where the torrent list loads, and what not. Any way to make it shrink like the bottom frame does?

Besides that the script works great!

Before I was doing this with adblock plus element hider but this works just as well. Thanks alot! :)

Also, if you know of a way to change the color of demonoid from that green to something cool like black or dark blue, let me know!

Good job and thanks again!

It looks like Demonoid may not come back. If I get an invite to a good replacement I'll be sure to make another script for it, but until then I guess development is sorta halted. :(

Thanks for implementing the ad-word removal! I am flattered that you give me credit in your source code.

You are doing a fantastic job maintaining the script so that us regular users don't have to watch those annoying ad-ridden pages with blinking flash animations, sounds and "buy a russian bride"-adverts. You know what I'm talking about. ;)

Although, I just begun donating to Demonoid so I don't see ads anymore, but before doing that this script was absolutely vital for my sanity! ;)

Awesome! I'd been looking for a way but hadn't thought to search existing userscripts. Thanks for showing me that. I went ahead and added it to the latest version of the script, which just got uploaded.

If there are any ads I've missed or features you want continue to ask.

Oh wow, thanks!

Well, I have a request. Could you integrate Kontera ad-removal? Those highlighted words that you hover over and you see Shopping.com links, they are added by an ad-service called Kontera.

This script called "Disable Text Ads" handles every ad type, including Kontera. The code is very simple, it just intercepts DOMNodeInserted and you can easily take the bit that deals with Kontera.

Either that, or tell people to get that script for text-ad removal. Your script is fantastic, and that one completes the ad-free experience!

Yep, I just noticed. =)

Also, I finally got around to creating a forum account and noticed my script removed the menu at the top. I've fixed now and uploaded the new version.

Demonoid just got back up and your script works fine. Thanks for it by the way.

Sorry, I have no idea if the current version will work or not. If it doesn't then I'll be sure to update it as soon as I realize the new site is up.

Any idea if this will still work in the post-crash/revamped Demonoid era?
