EasyList Forum

You're right on. Firefox 3.6.24 OK, then FYI: Firefox 3 and below did perform some internal modifications to "style=" strings, but you should still be able to get a working rule for your version by using the Element Hiding Helper . Oh, and a FYI2: We (EasyList) aren't adding Firefox 3.6 c...

@MonztA: I think the last paragraph could be a little less text and a little more instruction to avoid confusion, e.g. If you want to block the Wikimedia fundraising notice, just add the following rule to your "Custom filters" in Adblock Plus: /w/index.php?*^bannercontroller^ People who wa...

When did this happen? I can't find anything like that in last weeks logs and currently no IPs are manually blocked as far as I can see, maybe an automatic anti-spam measure is to blame? Regarding policy in general: I personally would always delete posts that do nothing but advertise a paid product -...

Added: https://hg.adblockplus.org/easylist/rev/6c36f02b662d however, I am having problems with matching the entire string with [style*="background-color: #ddd"], which does not trigger What browser are you using and what version? The only thing I can think of why this would happen is if yo...

EasyPrivacy already uses to block those everywhere (except for snoobi.com itself due to $third-party which is used to not destroy their homepage).

The comment was just for me to remember where the popup occurs. The filter I added blocks ALL third-party popups on filepost.com (in contrast to the other added rule that will just block the noowmedia ad). I think blocking all popups on a filehoster is a good idea as they are very likely to change t...

@MonztA: Hmm, das Formular geht bei mir (jetzt?) auch mit dem Filter? Auch wenn es nicht gehen würde, könnte man ja computerbase.de###sidebar > .adbox-wrapper benutzen.

We need some more information on this: What versions of Adblock Plus and Firefox (or Chrome?) are you using? When exactly does it crash? Immediately on all ustream pages, only for live streams, only for recoreded videos, .... Do you use any other extensions that interfer with flash (like Noscript pl...

For me personally, that's one of those "3rd-party features" between ad and non-ad we talked about here: http://forums.lanik.us/viewtopic.php?t=9085 We have to decide whether we hide both promo blocks or neither (also @other authors): theregister.co.uk###whitepapers theregister.co.uk##.pape...

which spy on me As it looks now and at least for the forseeable future, when you allow acceptable ads you will have to accept certain privacy implications that come with that. I actually haven't come across many sites that use no tracking mechanisms at all while still having ads on them, so a list ...

I'm too lazy to look it up for you now, but I think 17 should move to Beta very soon (from then I think it's 5-6 weeks to stable, but I stand corrected). Adblock Plus will probably be updated even before it is released.

Added https://hg.adblockplus.org/easylist/rev/1bd67419135d Seems to be obsolete since the design update. We usually don't remove general hiding rules even if the sites they were added for don't use the id any more. That's the idea behind general hiding rules after all, even though I will admit that...

On the page you linked, I get a "video not found" which wouldn't be an EasyList or Adblock Plus issue (the video file has simply been removed).

Fixed: https://hg.adblockplus.org/easylist/rev/6ad1b30e4a13

Well, if a site owner wants to force ABP users to see ads, all we can do is update the rules when they update the site. We'll see, can you try an update now?

I didn't do anything. Are you saying that the ads are blocked on Firefox? If yes, the reason that they aren't blocked in Chrome is because the current release versions of Adblock Plus and/or Chrome doesn't support blocking video ads yet. You can wait (I think starting with Chrome 17, it will work) O...

Can you please create an Adblock Plus issue report (once the ad started playing) and the post the link here? You do that by clicking on the red 'ABP' icon in Firefox and selecting "Report issue on this page".

Billy wrote:The video plays immediately for me.

Same here.

Both are clearly Slovenian adservers and the example site is Slovenian as well, so they won't be added to EasyList (as per our policy).

Would it make any difference if the user could interact with the widget to compare products without leaving the original site? Then there's no ad-like click-to-visit. All the content and features are right there. I think the best we can do is to decide that on a case-by-case, widget-by-widget basis...

Added some general rules for emediate as it is very widespread (also on English sites): https://hg.adblockplus.org/easylist/rev/927ccd94ca15

That sounds like a quite risky filter to me to be honest, it should at least have some other identifier (and a tag or class for performance).

A bit better could be something along the lines of what was suggested here (unverified): https://adblockplus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8666

I would say they are equivalent in terms of being safe and when it comes to what they cover. Performance isn't an issue with site-specific rules either, so I would prefer 1 rule over two:

Ohh... I'm very sorry. Should be fixed after an update: https://hg.adblockplus.org/easylist/rev/f70c0ea55590
