Weird Banner Image on Timeline #646

Open AnAngryRaven opened 1 month ago

It seems like there's some sort of new Grok advertisement that sometimes appears when you go onto your main home timeline, though I can't be for 100% sure. The reason I say this is because text elements for it are removed, but an image remains:

The only reason I even suspect this is a Grok advertisement is looking within the HTML of the page, where it's labelled as such:

The problem is that every time I disable the extension and reload the page, it disappears! So not only am I not sure what it is to begin with, I can't even confirm if it's actually even this extension that causes it..

If it turns out not to be related to this extension, my sincere apologies.. I've been trying to find a way to reliably reproduce this, but I'm genuinely not sure what causes it 😞

Finally managed to get it to show up with the extension disabled, so it does seem to be this extension that causes it!

As you've found out, the hard part is getting it to display again so you can test hiding it 🥲

The element we hide to get rid of other inline timeline prompts (data-test-id="inlinePrompt") is inside this variant, so we need to figure out a different selector to target the top-level timeline item in this case.
