The Easylist entry below removes more than just the leaderboard unit it was probably supposed to remove:

• navigation elements (breadcrumb)
• filtering elements (Freeware / Shareware / Normal)
• whole page content in some cases (eg: Program Finder).

I'm sure there's a way to block only the ads, not actual site content.

Code: Select all

Please supply direct link to page / site in question next time:

Also can anyone see a web bug / tracking pixel on that page ??

I just installed a new extension Counterpixel and it is reporting a Google Analytics pixel on that page but as far as I can tell all google related content is blocked. I guess it might be checking before ABP get a chance to block anything.

The tool tries to find counting/measurement pixel of tracking software from different services and companies.

whole page content in some cases (eg: Program Finder)

Yes, all screenshot pages (like http://www.softpedia.com/progScreenshot ... 13231.html) were rendered blank. Thanks, Rick.
