msfntor Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) play_arrow HTML code/text: Get the material icon instead of its HTML code Problem: it's HTML code which is visible instead of material icons... Answer at how-to: by NOT blocking the fonts. Three examples: play_arrow constant: https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/material/Icons/play_arrow-constant.html Material icon named "play arrow" at the left, instead of play_arrow label only, get by NOT blocking fonts.googleapis.com and fonts in your uBlock (unnotch "block remote fonts" button) etc extension... Click on SHOW COMMENTS section yellow link of an article on zerohedge.com: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/its-defund-global-police-moment-jen-says-de-dollarization-happening-stunning-pace Material icons (two: collapse or add comment content, and link) named play arrow, instead of two play_arrow labels on each comment, get by not blocking too fonts.gstatic.com and fonts in your uBlock etc extension... Great Nicobar tag on roundglasssustain.com: https://roundglasssustain.com/tags/tag-great-nicobar Material icons named "play arrow" on the videos, instead of play_arrow labels only, get by NOT blocking fonts in your uBlock etc extension... So it's up to you, if you prefer to block the fonts, but I block them consciously now...remembering the consequences....

msfntor Posted April 23, 2023 Author Share Posted April 23, 2023 Another testing, on w3schools.com: https://www.w3schools.com/icons/tryit.asp?filename=tryicons_google-play_arrow All material icons are here, if you allow fonts... You get play icon here, by allowing the fonts: https://materialui.co/icon/play-arrow From the web: "Material Design Play Arrow icon code is "play_arrow". You can use this play arrow icon as Material UI, Vuetify, and Angular Material (Mat Icon)." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotHereToPlayGames Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Um, why even monitor search engine listing order? Certainly not my definition of success. Why? Because this thread (until I chimed in) was really only you talking to yourself and some of us (myself included) reading it but not commenting (this isn't new news, those of us that block fonts "know" this already). Success would be if 5, 10, 20 "new" members signed up and posted in this thread. All you really did is "time" your entry with some web crawlers that scour the 'net every few hours and found the precise and exact search query to isolate this thread. That's not really that difficult. Hint - multiple words in your search query always always always bring the right content to the top of the list. Just my two cents, lol.

Sure, I have been aware of this for years, this is the most important step to take when creating a topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Real "success" would be to make it to the top of Google Trends for your location (France) -- https://trends.google.com/trends/trendingsearches/daily?geo=FR&hl=en-US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotHereToPlayGames Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 "Not my problem", lol. Like I have to tell my brother each and every time he sends me a Twitter, Facebook, or Tik-Tok link - they are blocked on my system "without prejudice". But blocking "Google Trends" is like blocking MSN's "news feed", IMO. Point is, don't all search engines have a "trends" page? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msfntor Posted April 26, 2023 Author Share Posted April 26, 2023 So if you block the fonts, it's not only "play_arrow" in plain text, but all other icons code too: "keyboard_arrow_up", "keyboard_arrow_down" etc. Many examples here: Google Action Icons: https://www.w3schools.com/icons/google_icons_action.asp - then click "Next" button...
