I have a big issue with EasyList. If I have it enabled and I disable ABP on Forbes and Everywhere, the Forbes website doesn't load at all (no Block-AdBlock banner, just a white page and Firefox spinning wheel).
If I disable EasyList everything is fine.
Any idea of what could cause this problem?

I've tested the same thing on Chrome and everything was fine so I tried to completely remove and reinstall ABP. Now everything is ok, Forbes webpages load and I don't have any ad.
still shows ads and if apply the filter you gave it loops

Does anyone have a solution for Forbes adblock detection?

Okay, will these filters be added to the Adblock Warning Removal List?
only the easylist authors can decide ..
..if they are not lazy
Sorry!
Thanks. I'm still just figuring out the purpose of this board. I initially thought it was just to report ads for future updates to the filter lists, but now realizing it's at least as much a DIY resource since the authors are overwhelmed.
That said I'd like to thank the authors for putting in their free time for this. I'm curious, though: development of ABP is funded by the Respectable Ads Program and donations, but Easy List isn't? Isn't most of what makes ABP work the lists?
Forbes seems intent on showing ads don't they. lol.
I give all the credit to Performer 8 for my amazing results.
Can't access Forbes anymore. I guess I've kinda given up trying to read anything on it.
still working for me (with the filters above)

tested again, no issues for me, be sure using only 1 adblocker no other blocking extensions
I just tried it and it works for me, but I had to make sure to enter them as two separate filters, each one beginning with "@@."BugFolk wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2017 1:27 pmI added these but it still recognized I have adblock.Code: Select all

I decided to disable adp. For some reason it was no longer working. I have a whole string of custom filters and unsure if something broke it. Anyways I enabled regular adblock and entered the filters above. That works.
Maybe the problem was something I was doing with ADP.
This is the list I have on ADP: http://pastebin.com/raw/Ru6SFTzL
Some ads are blocked, but oddly some of the filters are ineffective. The ones related to Forbes were ineffective on this list, but were effective for regular adblock.

You have to add the filters correctly: any filter on its own line
wrong filters:
You should delete all those filters and add correctly only those still necessary ..

forbes.com forces you to disable adblock for the website before entering. Hitting "continue to site >" will just lead to the same page. If I have it "Disable on this page only" in ADP, I can get around it, and it adds "

Unskippable Anti adb.
I get no anti adb stuff using uBo. Are you using adblock (plus) ?

I confirm you, I tested with UBO only, no anti adb, after, Itested with ABP, I have anti adb. Why?
As you .. should know ABP and the official lists accepted by ABP wont fix anti adblocking issues. So, your call if you want to keep abp or switch to uBo
Hi,
I speculate that something inside EasyList, or something else I don’t understand yet, is allowing forbes.com to detect that the adblocker is in use, and completely block reading the page (no way to X out of it):
I have constructed a partially-working filter to bypass that detection, and block the ads:
Now, the above filter mostly works, and I’m pretty happy with it, but it currently has one flaw: Upon first load, the ad at the top of the page does succeed in being displayed for a few seconds while the page loads, but then it is finally removed (presumably by my filter expressions). This really isn’t a big deal, because I can simply wait for the page to load, but it shoves the real content I want to read down and then back up again when the div is hidden, and is distracting enough to warrant fixing it if that is possible.
Looking at the page source, without the filter being applied, I see the div corresponding to the ad at the top of the page that I wish to never be displayed, and it responds to hiding via this:
Is there a way to prevent even that initial first display of that ad at the top, especially without moving the content down and then back up in the browser’s view? What is that ad at the top? A pop-up? A pop-in? Neither?
In case it matters: I’m running AdBlockPlus Version 3.8.4 inside Google Chrome Version 81.0.4044.122 (Official Build) (64-bit).
