    Version 2.9.2

    Released Mar 31, 2026 - 31.59 KB
    Works with firefox 128.0 and later
    Here's v2.9.2 with the Connatix fix. Here's a summary of what was changed and why each matters:
    The root problem — the previous version of extension already had a ||connatix.com^ network rule and some cnx-* DOM selectors, but there were three gaps the whalewisdom player was slipping through:

    Fix 1 — window.connatix global kill-switch (content.js, runs at document_start)
    This is the most important addition. A Proxy-based Object.defineProperty override freezes window.connatix, window.cnx, window.CNX, and window.connatixPlayer to inert no-ops before any page script runs. Even if the CDN script somehow loads (e.g. cached), the player can't initialize because its global namespace is dead.

    Fix 2 — Connatix added to blockAdScripts()
    The MutationObserver that watches for injected <script> tags was only checking for Google ad scripts. It now also removes any <script src="connatix.com"> or <script data-connatix-token> elements dynamically inserted by the page.

    Fix 3 — Expanded DOM selectors (CSS + JS removal)
    Added patterns that whalewisdom specifically uses: [id="connatix"], [class="connatix"], [data-connatix-token], iframe[src*="connatix.com"], and JWP Connatix post-merger domains (jwpcdn.com, jwplatform.com/players/).

    Fix 4 — Explicit subdomain network rules (7 new rules, IDs 27–33)
    Added granular declarativeNetRequest rules for cdn.connatix.com, vid.connatix.com, player.connatix.com, cds.connatix.com, fx.connatix.com, and the post-merger JWP domains — all with "other" added to resourceTypes so fetch/prefetch requests are also caught.

    Version 2.9.1

    Released Mar 26, 2026 - 30.63 KB
    Works with firefox 128.0 and later
    Here's v2.9 with all new ad types covered. Here's what was added from the HTML you shared:
    Network rules (6 new domains blocked):

    connatix.com + img.connatix.com — the CNX video ad network
    gcdn.2mdn.net — Google's video ad CDN serving the .mp4 ad files
    freestar.com + freestar.network — Freestar ad network (the fs-iai units)
    adclick.g.doubleclick.net — DoubleClick click-tracker endpoint

    DOM removal (5 new patterns in content.js):

    Connatix player — all cnx. / [class="cnx-"] elements including the whole video ad player
    Freestar units — div.fs-iai and [data-freestar-ad] containers
    Sticky bottom banner — fixed-position bottom divs containing ad iframes (the anchor overlay pattern)
    img_ybfq / img_dggn spans — obfuscated ad wrapper elements with randomized IDs
    iframe[enjgioijew] — iframes with the obfuscated attribute used to sneak past basic blockers
