Sorry for not checking back.

I can confirm this issue as well. However, if you refresh the compose email page, or click on the "Compose Mail" link a second time, everything works perfectly. The same CSS file works flawlessly when I load it in Opera and Safari, which leads me to believe that it's an issue of how Chrome loads the script, than the script itself, but I'm not really sure.

Could not install extension from 'C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\Fanboy-4s Element Hider.crx'. Bad magic number

Which browser are you using, and what version or developer build is it?

I used this for a long time, but now it stopped working. To be accurate:
when this script is in my UserScript folder and i try to open any page in chrome i shows me the about:crash screen. Any ideas?

Does anyone know more about the "Gecko's content policies" mentioned in the link? I was under the impression that @run-at document-start blocks ads before loading them, but see now the ads still load before being "hidden".

If you want to lock them before loading them, you'll have to use something like Privoxy to stop the request packets from actually sending.
But I don't see the harm in it, at least this way you're giving the site page impressions.

Thanks, I know about privoxy. But I don't want to use a proxy.

I'm actually more interested in how the adblock in firefox works, blocking the ads from loading, not just hiding them. My understanding of greasemonkey scripts was that they inject/rewrite content dynamically (as it loads). So to clarify what are these "content policies" used in firefox, and how can they block ads?

As for my reasons for completely blocking ads, I'm capped. So the less I download the better.

Here's from the Adblock Plus FAQ, which sums things up nicely: http://adblockplus.org/en/faq_internal#policies

Good to see you stay up to date with the releases there

Afair, it was fixed.

Yes, for images. But Flash-ads will really blocked.

i've noticed that the new version of chrome isn't giving me the gmail attachment issues anymore. Yay.
