How can I disable 'Sponsored images from istock'.

Miss Mandarina says:

I have a free account. How can I disable 'Sponsored images from istock'.
I have seen that this banner does not exist in other free accounts.

Thanks for your help!

The sponsored images ad shows in my account. Free accounts have ads. If you don't want to see them, then you would need to pay for a Pro account.

You could remove the thumbnails by putting the istock site in your hosts file, but the blank space will still be there.

Thank, you, Viejito.

I don't know what happened, but now, after a few seconds, the 'Sponsored images from istock', disappear.

Host file? ... anyway, I wouldn't know how to do it :(

With the uBlock Origin ad blocker, you can block just areas of the screen against ads. There might still be empty space visible instead, but i prefer that to an ad.

Other ad blockers might be able to do the same.
