ranking.com (roispy)

On http://www.ranking.com/ I have noticed what I think to be at tracking script suitable for EasyPrivacy. It could be blocked by using a filter along the lines of

Code: Select all

Re: Alexa Adverts

Thanks for finding the additional side advert MonztA. I had noticed it before but had forgotten to note down the element and the search term I had used no longer produced that style of adverts. I should have mentioned it but thought it irrelevant as the side adverts did not appear again to me until ...

alexa.com

I've spotted some adverts that appear on Alexa.com when searching. They could be blocked by

Code: Select all

alexa.com##DIV[class^="gradientAd"]
or similar.

Re: wikia.com

Thanks for that. I don't know why the filter ##.wikia_ad_placeholder appeared only occasionally. I am certain that on the front pages of both sites originally there was leftover space. When it was removed, I assumed it must have been a new filter and gave examples of pages with space still remaining...

r1soft.com

I recently visited www.r1soft.com and noticed the corner ad. It could be blocked by */promos/corner_ads/* although I feel the filter is probably too general. I also noticed pixel-sized images from http://server.iad.liveperson.net/ and feel they could be additions to EasyPrivacy as they appear to col...

Re: Wikia Adverts

Thanks for adding the rule ##.wikia_ad_placeholder to EasyList (at least, I think it is a new addition). However, while this covers adverts on the front pages, any page on the wikia (such as http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Pashna_Starkiller and http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Dan_McDaid respectively) st...

sedoparking.com [opinions?]

I have noticed that various domains such as http://www.soureceforge.net/ ( not the real http://www.sourceforge.net) have had adverts placed on them by Sedo Domain Parking. Could the following filter please be added to EasyList to prevent the webpages from displaying such content? *sedoparking.com/*$...

Re: MMO-Champion

The element hiding rule that's needed is

Code: Select all

mmo-champion.com##DIV#header-ad
which should block all similar elements on the site too.

Re: cnn.com

It appears as though it was originally used to hold an advert, although whether or not this filter is enabled there appears to be little difference for me in the appearance of the penultimate paragraph. It remains indented and I cannot personally see a way to hide this element.

Re: DistroWatch Logo Blocked

Just an update to let you know the filter ||distrowatch.com/images/kokoku/ is now useless as all images on DistroWatch have had the "/kokoku/" part removed from the URL, and therefore all adverts are displayed. The filter suggestion I made is therefore also redundant. [Edit] This would pro...

Re: Firefox and shoptoearn.net display issue

From what I've seen, the reason the images are blocked is because they are adverts. They track who has clicked on the images and (probably) earn the company some money in the process. To rectify this one could always whitelist the site by adding the filter @@http://www.shoptoearn.net to Adblock Plus...

On http://distrowatch.com/ the filter:

Code: Select all

||distrowatch.com/images/kokoku/

also blocks the site logo which should appear at the top of the page, located at:

Code: Select all

http://distrowatch.com/images/kokoku/dwbanner.png
Could the logo be whitelisted please?
