Hello,

I've noticed that the Easylist in Ublock Origin removes the "Sponsored by" banner (Message of Support) at the top of troyhunt.com.

He has blogged about this issue here:

Code: Select all

https://www.troyhunt.com/ad-blockers-are-part-of-the-problem/

And has removed all ad network code from his site in order not to track or be obtrusive:

Code: Select all

https://www.troyhunt.com/i-just-permanently-removed-all-ad-network-code-from-my-blog/

This is barely an Ad in the generally used term of the word- Adblock Plus has removed this filter. I am aware that he is paid to put the content there, but it seems a little too far to remove this small element which is and will not be Malicious, Obtrusive, or Privacy Breaching.

Apologies if EasyList's policy is to remove any and all sponsored content but it seems a little unfair.
