Get rid of the anti-Missing-E fear-mongering warning in Safari, Firefox, and Google Chrome

{Note: short URL for this post is http://bit.ly/STFUtumblr. Is that immature and overreactive? Hey, fair is fair, Tumblr.}

I am tired of Tumblr, Inc.’s ongoing tantrum about Missing E.

If they hadn’t grossly exaggerated and relied on FUD for their message, I might be more sympathetic.

Now I just want to make sure I never see it again.

If you feel the same way, here’s how to get rid of it.

UPDATE: There’s a (free) solution for Mac users which will work for all browsers, including iPad or iPhone/iPod touch. See http://funsizebytes.com/post/17884571868/glimmerblocker

Here’s the original post:

~ Chrome ~

If you use Google Chrome, get Stylish and then install http://userstyles.org/styles/58773/tumblr-missing-e-warning-remover.

~ Firefox ~

If you use Firefox, get Stylish and then install http://userstyles.org/styles/58773/tumblr-missing-e-warning-remover.

~ Safari ~

The easiest way to get rid of this in Safari is with a custom style sheet.

1) You need to put this in a plain text file:

body#dashboard_index #overlay,
body#dashboard_index #detection_alert {
display:none;}

body#dashboard_index {
overflow: auto!IMPORTANT;}
}

(or download mine from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18414/Safari.css).

Save the file somewhere that won’t be in your way, like ~/Documents/Safari.css

2) Now you have to tell Safari to use it.

Go to Safari » Preferences » Advanced

and click on “Style Sheet” and then select “Other…” as shown here:

3) Select the file that you created from wherever you saved it, i.e. ~/Documents/Safari.css

4) BOOM, done

Now you won’t see the Missing-E fear-mongering warning anymore.

    *thumbs up* Tumblr sometimes changes the IDs/whatever involved, but it’s all undoable in about 3 seconds. Imagine if...
