Hi,

you can fix that from your side easily by renaming these files to somthing not matching with generic easylist filters.

Hi,
thanks for your answer. Indeed I can, but I feel it's a bit weird I would ever have to do that.

Is'nt such a generic rule generating a lot of false positives, while being relatively easy for ad networks to circumvent? (Just asking, I have very little experience on those precise points)

Adding a exemption for every blog post involving the word "advert" doesn't seem easy for us either, just slight word the title differently imo.
