blocking searched elements as 'ads'

When I check elements I can highlight the exact element that needs to go, such as 'recommended for you' then I can delete it, but that can last as long as the session only. I would like to see a back click option of 'AdBlock' to block this element on the dropdown menu treating that element as a blockable. My workaround is simply to block the element directly on the page which seems to work! I can even block each video and it's source directly on the page after you click the blue 'recommendations' typeface on the left breakout which shows a list of each item in the 'recommended for you' list. So far that works fine. My point is to include in the back clicked drop down menu 'AdBlock this' element.

    Jjerryd - I don't really understand what you're suggesting. Can you help me?

    When I check elements I can highlight the exact element that needs to go, such as 'recommended for you' then I can delete it, but that can last as long as the session only.

    What site are you seeing this on? What do you mean by deleting it? Are you talking about using the AdBlock blocking wizard, where you right-click and choose "Block this ad"?

    I would like to see a back click option of 'AdBlock' to block this element on the dropdown menu treating that element as a blockable.

    What do you mean by a "back click" option? Right-click? And which dropdown menu are you talking about?

    My workaround is simply to block the element directly on the page which seems to work! I can even block each video and it's source directly on the page after you click the blue 'recommendations' typeface on the left breakout which shows a list of each item in the 'recommended for you' list.

    Sorry, I just don't understand this.
