Hiding Instagram ads selenium IDE

[caberus]

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.

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

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 >>
