Eurogamer.net runs a massive ad banner and sidebar which is not blockable currently. It looks to be done through javascript generating parts of the page. The ad is in a div with a random id, so blocking it is a bit problematic.

This has not been fixed.

The whitelist rule mentioned by smed79 has apparently been removed, but the large wrap-style ad remains on rockpapershotgun.com and eurogamer.net.

The ad is served via a background-image css property in a style attribute on a div tag which wraps most of the site content.

The ad (or at least the current ad) is served from images.eurogamer.net. Non-ad images are also served from that host.

The following regex blocks the ad, but allows non-ad images:

Code: Select all

/images.eurogamer.net/20\d{2}/[a-z0-9]{40}/[a-z0-9]+.jpg/
I'm afraid I don't have any bright ideas on how to achieve this without a regex.
