Remove/Compress Blocked Content?
How would I configure BFilter to completely remove and compress a blocked ad or piece of content? Currently, it keeps the ad from displaying, but puts a black box around the area. If I don't want to see the ad, I don't want to be able to accidentally click on it either.

Thanks in advance...

RE: Remove/Compress Blocked Content?
Well, in some cases it can't be done even theoretically, so I didn't bother to include a feature that is not going to work in all cases. I am talking about cases when ad/not-ad decision is deferred until the browser actually requests the image. By that time, html is already served, and there is no way to hide that image completely. Another reason not to hide ads completely is the possibility of generating false positives. Go for example to http://www.alcohol-soft.com, and you will see that download buttons are false positives. You wouldn't be happy if they were completely hidden.

Still, there is a feature to remove borders around ads. Go to Tray Icon -> Configuration -> Advanced, and set:
Code:
ad_border = none
