Ah, OK, that explains that. (And sorry for posting clickable links.)

I'm getting the exact same results as @brossow, right down to testing with the latest ABP dev build. So just to confirm, the ads on Sporcle.com can't be blocked in Chrome consistently using custom filters?

Those filters don't do anything for me with the latest Chrome and the ABP dev build. I could post screenshots but it would be redundant.

I am having a lot of ads on sporcle now. They're on every page. I've applied all the filters listed here, but they're still coming back.

Here's an example.

I'm only using ABP. I have disabled everything except that and cleared all my cookies, etc. Still having ads. Let me know if you have any ideas on what else I should do or need any more info from me.

I've now gone beyond just not having ads blocked on Sporcle to having the page layout seriously messed up when ABP is turned on for the site. I've removed all custom filters related to Sporcle. Interestingly, the page loads fine with no ads if I have the console open in Chrome. *shrug*

Brilliant! Hadn't heard of uBo previously, but it's now installed and working perfectly (at least on Sporcle). Many thanks!

This is the same crap that's started happening on MSN.com and Ottawacitizen.com. So far, we've only heard of it happening on these three sites (MSN, Ottawacitizen, and Sporcle). It may be something new that will spread to all InstartLogic sites.
