Nest Ad Monday, 24 July 2017

Got a Nest camera? They are quite nice and have a ton of features. However, the web-based view has a big ad emblazoned across the bottom. I'm ok with ads on free products, but not on ones I've already paid (quite a lot) for.

To get rid of the ad, install the Tampermonkey extension, click the new script button, then add this script:

// ==UserScript== // @name Nest Camera Ad // @namespace https://home.nest.com/camera // @version 1 // @description Remove ad from bottom of Nest camera. // @author Neil Fraser // @match https://home.nest.com/camera* // @grant none // ==/UserScript== (function() { 'use strict'; var delay = 500; function clearFooter() { var divs = document.getElementsByClassName('player-footer'); // If no ad found, back off and try again later. if (!divs.length) { setTimeout(clearFooter, delay *= 2); return; } // Destroy the ad. while (divs.length) { divs[0].parentNode.removeChild(divs[0]); } // Force a resize event so the camera view fills the window. var evt = window.document.createEvent('UIEvents'); evt.initUIEvent('resize', true, false, window, 0); window.dispatchEvent(evt); } clearFooter(); })();

The result is no ad and a 20% bigger picture.

Sleep well Beverly.
