Summary:
Basically what I ask is for a way to allow a Content Blocker to block/hide an element based on its innerHTML/text value.
For instance,
<p>Text that I want to block</p>
There's no way of blocking this <p> element based on its text since CSS Selectors do not support innerHTML, only tag attributes.
One way to allow this, directly in the Content Blocker's blockerList.json:
"action": {
"type": "css-display-none",
"selector": "p[innerHTML*='Text that I want to block']"
}
Doing this would open up a world of possibilites for Content Blockers.
Steps to Reproduce:
See description to get the idea.
Expected Results:
The element would be blocked.
Actual Results:
Currently it's not possible.
