Re: Adblock Digest/Newsletter

[mention]Lanik[/mention] ABP logo does not seem to be copyrighted https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Adblock_Plus_2014_Logo.svg. Its better to use a generic one as we are encompassing all adblockers. The logo you have used seems fine but is a bit bland. I also see that you have moved some threa...

Re: Adblock Digest/Newsletter

The ABP's blog is very specific and only includes news and happenings related to ABP and much is left out like other adblockers such as uBO, Adguard; adblocking in general; and other related things around adblocking. Creating a subforum would be nice as all adblocking news can be collated there and ...

Adblock Digest/Newsletter

Lately I haven't been unable to keep up with the ongoings of EasyList and and adblock in general. I had to run through many different sources to satisfy my FOMO :mrgreen:. There is not a single source which focuses on EasyList or adblock. I was wondering maybe we can start a newsletter or digest of ...

Re: Silent Crypto Miners Appearing on Websites

So, the site keys that are listed and contain multiple domains probably belong to one person/entity?
Eg: http://www.whorunscoinhive.com/coinhive_id/OT1CIcpkIOCO7yVMxcJiqmSWoDWOri06

Also when tried to search kickass.cd on the whorunscoinhive.com website it did not detect it :/

Nice website. I do not understand what they mean by "Coinhive Site Key". Is it the same as Google Analytics, FB website tags?

Also, can this be added in the FAQ or somewhere similar as this would be really helpful for new site comers as well.
