Feature Request: remove disabled Flash object

Post by vlaran »

Hello there,

I very much praise the NoScripts' ability to block Adobe Flash objects. Unfortunately it lacks the possibility to have the container with the blocked object hidden / removed. Many sites which I visit sometimes display flash ads over the content of the page - this is very annoying and as long as I can't remove the container I have to reload the page and hope that the ad will not display again. Although the disabled Flash container is transparent, reading throught it is not ideal, especially with longer articles.
Flashblock - a Firefox extension aimed solely at blocking Flash has this feature - user just needs to right-click the container and choose from the context menu. But since NoScript has many more advantages over Flashblock I'd love if this feature can be implemented in it, so that I won't need any other extension to deal with the dirty flash ads.

Examples:

Thank you in advance,
