I’m using **Ublock origin**.  
I’d like to block all avatars when I’m not logged in.  
What filter should I use.  
Thanks

Put this in your block element filter.

I don’t know about ublock, but for adblock plus it is as easy as right clicking on any avatar, clicking ‘block element’ and then replacing the element text with the above.

Yeah, I added Folly’s line to my Ublock Origin My Filters section and it worked.

Thanks a lot **Folly**  
It worked.  
I was playing with ublock filters, but couldn’t find the correct one.
