can someone block anti-adblock warning from thefreedictionary.com

I tried simply by editing the filter list, but it just got worst. The adds came back and the anti-adblock warning stayed. I wish to support this site in some other way it is very helpful for me, but it just so ugly and annoying.

No anti adblock message here, describe how to reproduce?

Btw, could you try :

Code: Select all

thefreedictionary.com#@#.afs_ads
or

Code: Select all

thefreedictionary.com##[-abp-properties='padding:10px 10px;font-size:1.1rem']

I am getting ads served by Grammarly on the top, bottom and sidebar of the website, getting promotional ads served as well.

Thanks @intense, just adding these filters works as well:

Code: Select all

@@||thefreedictionary.com^$generichide
thefreedictionary.com##div[style="padding:10px 10px;font-size:1.1rem"]

I have searched through the forum and added a number of filters but none of them worked in killing the adblock killer on this site.
This adblock killer prevents all useful content to be seen with adblock plus on.

I faced this issue when using Chrome on Mac. When using Safari content can occasionally show up correctly but still accompanied with ads.
