Probably more deserving addition to the Warning List?

Final decision obviously rests with you however my thinking is

I wouldn't hide the warning, I feel it's best if they don't know we are blocking their ads, we don't want to encourage them to take more drastic measures.

I'm a believer of the fix should reside in the list that's causing the problem.

add these filters, see if works:

Code: Select all

chess.com###special-upgrade-sidebar
chess.com##.upgrade-sidebar
how to add custom filters:
https://adblockplus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=42013

However, you can use your adblocker (ABP for chrome) to create your own filters:
- click ABP icon, "block element", then select what-you-want-to-hide/block (you can also edit the proposed filter...)

chess.com is delaying every page load by 4s if adblock is detected. They're doing this by setting page opacity to 0, which is fixed with the following css:

Code: Select all

.async-hide { opacity: 1!important }
I wrote a userstyle to this end. Could we also include in easylist anti-adblock?

did my account get terminated for creating a new chess.com topic?? I'm sorry if I made a mistake but that's really extreme.

this is a different thing, anyway -- previously it was a warning, now the site is delaying every page by 4s.

The post came through anonymously for some reason. Looks fine now.

My account definitely was deleted, maybe automatic for some reason? I reregistered the same nick. Just not a very friendly welcome to have to register twice and deal with moderation queue as well as inability to send PMs to admins, all to give a heads up to improve your filters.

Any back to the subject at hand, chess.com stepping up their anti adblock game with a 4s delayed page load. Is this something appropriate for the easy list anti Adblock list?
