   <p>{{s97 In general, any CSS selector supported by Firefox can be used for element hiding. For example the following rule will hide anything following a div element with class "adheader": <code><fix>##.adheader + *</fix></code>. For a full list of CSS list see <a href="{{s97-link http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/}}">W3C CSS specification</a> (note that not all selectors are supported by Firefox yet).}} {{advanced-selectors-2 Please keep in mind that browsers are slower to process these selectors than selectors based on <code><fix>class</fix></code> or <code><fix>id</fix></code> attribute only.}}</p>
 
   <p>{{s98 <em>Note</em>: This functionality is for advanced users only, you should be comfortable with CSS selectors to use it. Adblock Plus won't be able to check the syntax of the selector you are adding, if you use invalid CSS syntax you might break other (valid) rules you have. Check JavaScript Console for CSS errors.}}</p>

   {{ elemhide-emulation-2 When writing an element hiding filter that makes use of these extended selectors you must use the <code><fix>#?#</fix></code> syntax, e.g. <code><fix>example.com#?#selector</fix></code>. But it's important to note that doing so carries a performance impact, so do so sparingly and make sure those filters are specific to as few domains and elements as possible. }}

 <h4>:-abp-properties()</h4>
 <p>
   {{ abp-properties-1 <code><fix>:-abp-properties(properties)</fix></code> will select elements based upon stylesheet properties. For example <code><fix>:-abp-properties(width:300px;height:250px;)</fix></code> will select elements that have a corresponding CSS rule in a stylesheet which sets the <code><fix>width</fix></code> and <code><fix>height</fix></code> to the values <code><fix>300px</fix></code> and <code><fix>250px</fix></code> respectively. Property names are matched case-insensitively. Furthermore, wildcards can be used so that <code><fix>:-abp-properties(width:*px;height:250px;)</fix></code> will match any width specified in pixels and a height of 250 pixels. }}
 </p>
 <p>
   {{ abp-properties-2 You can also use <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Regular_Expressions">regular expressions</a> by surrounding the properties expression with "/". For example, <code><fix>:-abp-properties(/width:30[2-8]px;height:250px;/)</fix></code> will match widths between 302 and 308 pixels and a height of 250 pixels. }}
 </p>
 <p>
   {{ abp-properties-3 <em>Note</em>: The <a href="https://adblockplus.org/development-builds/new-css-property-filter-syntax">older syntax</a> for the CSS property filters is deprecated and will be automatically converted to the new format&nbsp;. The syntax to select the style properties remain the same. For example, <code><fix>[-abp-properties='width:300px;height:250px;']</fix></code> will be converted to <code><fix>:-abp-properties(width:300px;height:250px;)</fix></code>. }}
 </p>
 <h4>:-abp-has()</h4>
 <p>
   {{ abp-has-1 <code><fix>:-abp-has(selector)</fix></code> will select elements based on their content. For example <code><fix>:-abp-has(> div > a.advertiser)</fix></code> will select elements that contain as a direct descendant a <code><fix>&lt;div&gt;</fix></code> that contains an <code><fix>&lt;a&gt;</fix></code> with the class <code><fix>advertiser</fix></code>. The inner selector can be relative to the element scope, and can use any of the pseudo-selectors, including <code><fix>:-abp-has()</fix></code> and will determine whether the selection will occur. }}
 </p>
+<h4>:-abp-contains()</h4>
+<p>
+  {{ abp-contains-1 <code><fix>:-abp-contains(text)</fix></code> will select elements based on their text content. For example, <code><fix>div.sidebar > span:-abp-contains(Advertisment)</fix></code> will select the  <code><fix>&lt;span&gt;</fix></code> elements within a <code><fix>&lt;div&gt;</fix></code>, with a class of <code><fix>sidebar</fix></code> that contains the word "Advertisment". In practice, you'd want to combine this with a <code><fix>:-abp-has()</fix></code> to select the outer container — something like <code><fix>div.sidebar > div:-abp-has(span:-abp-contains(Advertisment))</fix></code> to select the container that would contain an advertisement label. }}
