Description (last modified by greiner)
Background
Sometimes it is not possible to properly hide an ad unit because they are (almost) indistinguishable from similar organic content on the page. For example, it could be a paid post with advertisement link in the blog or ads in the search results (like ads on Yandex which were impossible to hide with adblock for a while and recently became selectable again simply by mistake). The general problem is the same since there is no way to target that block. It's only possible to hide something inside of it and often that is far from being enough to even get rid of the advertisement.
There are two proposals and one doesn't necessarily exclude another so both could be implemented.

Sorry, but we switched to GitLab. If this issue is still relevant, please file it again in the new issue tracker.
Split this ticket up into one for XPath support (#3142) and one for the CSS4 polyfill (#3143).
