Sorry for the delay, might be on their BETA site only

Probably more deserving addition to the Warning List?

[Hubird]

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.

Now

Code: Select all

##.adsbox

Causes the page to go blank shortly after logging in

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...)

Thanks! Well done. That seemed to have worked. Also , not sure if you can help with these or not but after a game I get a nag screen also...see the pic here:

Thanks for your assistance.

try
chess.com###live-upgrade-placeholder
or
chess.com##.upgrade-container

[lordwafer]

nice works! Thanks again intense.

Did you try on your own (As I wrote above) ?

click ABP icon, "block element", then select what-you-want-to-hide/block

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?
