"Having blocked various Facebook annoyances in addition to ads Adblock Plus is now moving on to Twitter. The company has added a new filter that removes the social network's new in-stream previews for photos and Vines.\r\n\r\nThe Twitter mobile client for Android and iOS lets you can disable this feature by unchecking the &amp;quot;photo preview&amp;quot; box. The Web client doesn't have such an option, however, so Adblock Plus has chosen to step in.\r\n\r\nHere's a before (top) and after (bottom) comparison:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nEach browser has a slightly different way to turn this feature on. Below are instructions for each one that Adblock Plus supports.\r\n\r\nFirefox: right-click the ABP logo (most likely in the left corner on the bottom), hit &amp;quot;Filter preferences\u2026&amp;quot; then &amp;quot;Custom filters&amp;quot; on the top. Click &amp;quot;Add a filter group&amp;quot;, give it a name, right-click it, choose &amp;quot;Show/hide filters&amp;quot;, and go to &amp;quot;Add filter&amp;quot; on the right.\r\nChrome: right-click the ABP logo in the address bar on the right, choose Options, and click &amp;quot;Add your own filters.&amp;quot;\r\nOpera: go to the extensions option in the menu, select &amp;quot;Adblock Plus options&amp;quot;, and then hit &amp;quot;add your own filters.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n\r\nIn all three cases, the filters you have to add are the same:\r\n\r\nFor pictures: twitter.com ##.tweet .media &amp;gt; .media-thumbnail.is-preview &amp;gt; img\r\n\r\nFor videos: twitter.com##.js-stream-tweet &amp;gt; .content &amp;gt; .expanded-content &amp;gt; .tweet-details-fixer &amp;gt; .js-media-container[data-card2-name=&amp;quot;player&amp;quot;]\r\n\r\n\r\nWhile this is certainly a great addition, we're a little disappointed Adblock Plus didn't add an option that makes all of the above as simple as flipping a switch. Nevertheless, we expect it will eventually add more and more Twitter options as the social network continues making changes to its core service's function and design.\r\n\r\nSee also: Adblock Plus pens open letter asking Twitter to join its Acceptable Ads initiative, promises happier users and Reddit is whitelisted by Adblock Plus for only using 'acceptable ads'\r\n\r\nTop Image Credit: Scott Beale / Laughing Squid"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
