Hey,
I find this function highly annoying; (windows).mouseleave(function() {
How can we block this? What is does is pop up a window with register, subscribe to newsletter ect....
You can see it on
http://www.geektime.com for example. Click on any article, then move your mouse to top of screen and it appears. It's very popular these days.

If you can't just disable JS on the site, create a
surrogate script that blocks the mouseleave event from being sent.
Untested, but a starting point:
replacement:
Code: Select all
window.addEventListener("mouseleave", function(e){e.stopImmediatePropagation();}, false);
sources:

It's not only that site, it's a lot of them. Can you do a *.com, *.net etc...?

I'm retarded when it comes to these kinds of things.....where do I add that?
Coding is like rocket science to me, it just doesn't compute....

Sure.. here's a sources value for all .com & .net:
Code: Select all
@^https?://[^/:]+\.(?:com|net)[/:]

(you can change the "nomouseleave" to be anything you want as long as it's the same in the replacement & sources pref names)

Why the (?: before the TLD?

Habit of mine to use non-capturing parentheses when not needing to capture the contents.

Simpler approach is to use a URL Matcher:

Er, I kind of didn't know that was possible for TLDs
Thanks.

I believe URL matchers just do a text match, so they don't care whether it's a TLD.

Some sites still has the mouseleave. I checked and they are .com or .net. Strange....

3 things I can think to try:
1) change the "false" to true
2) add also listener for "mouseout" event
Code: Select all
window.addEventListener("mouseleave", function(e){e.stopImmediatePropagation();}, false);window.addEventListener("mouseout", function(e){e.stopImmediatePropagation();}, false);
3) stopPropagation as well as stopImmediatePropagation (actually, I'm not sure if it's already fully covered by stopImmediatePropagation or not... but in case not...)
Code: Select all
window.addEventListener("mouseleave", function(e){e.stopImmediatePropagation();e.stopPropagation();}, false);
If none of those works, can you please provide a URL?
