EasyList Forum

AdChoices and Taboola ads are back on MSN.com in Chrome. The previous workaround, deleting msn.com cookies on exiting Chrome, is apparently no longer working. This is with the latest stable release of Chrome, all cookies deleted and the cache cleared, in AdBlock, ABP, and the dev version of ABP (eac...

Just as a note, "ABP" 3.3.4 in Firefox is AdBlock, not Adblock Plus.

Hi! "Paid Partner Content" is getting through EasyList in Firefox, Chrome, and MS Edge with AdBlock (latest release, filter lists updated today, cookies+cache cleaned). I'm using the following custom filter: ||outbrain.com^ Firefox and MS Edge have a "Paid Partner Content" in the...

Aha! Thanks so much!

Thanks, [mention]smed79[/mention]. It's only for uBO, unfortunately. I'm kinda hoping to find something that works with, you know, AdBlock.

Hi! A user on Twitter is claiming that Reek's Anti-Adblock Killer list (and presumably the userscript, too) are no longer being maintained. He points to these issues on the AakList GitHub repo as evidence: https://github.com/reek/anti-adblock-killer/issues/3145 https://github.com/reek/anti-adblock-k...

Thanks, [mention]-Mark-[/mention], I'll add that note to the article.

Guys, we have a user reporting the following: I get this notice on the torlock.com site and it blocks some crucial buttons for downloading stuff. We are sorry to say that Adblock has blocked some crucial coding elements on Torlock ("javascript:" & "style=padding"). These elem...

what is https://cdn.adblockcdn.com/filters/adblock_custom.txt ? AdBlock Custom is our own filter list. It's pretty small. It includes filters to fix a few overly aggressive EasyList filters, fixes for some bugs and sites that don't play nicely with AdBlock, filters to not break navigation on Flickr...

@Smed79, @Intense, @Lanik, @-Mark- et al., if it saves you having to type the same answer over and over again, feel free to refer folks to this article in our Knowledge Base: https://help.getadblock.com/solution/articles/6000170849-images-are-blocked-or-a-store-link-is-broken-on-a-website It (very b...

All better now. It was unrelated to ad blockers, EasyList, or possibly even the HTML5 player. It was a server-side issue, according to the Customer Experience Product Lead at Twitch.

We're seeing LOTS of reports on Twitter that Twitch.tv is showing just a black screen or streams aren't loading and that disabling adblock (whichever one they're using) fixes the issue. This started happening just the other day. I'm on Twitter now, and the tweets are just pouring in. One user DM'd u...

Apparently Facebook is rolling out its new mid-roll video ads in stages. Not everyone is getting them yet. From The Motley Fool: https://www.fool.com/investing/2017/02/13/get-ready-because-facebook-has-a-new-annoying-ad-f.aspx Facebook is being cautious with mid-roll ads, rolling them out to a small...

I'll have her try that, @smed79, thanks!

Hey guys. What should I tell our users who report unblocked ads on walla.co.il? This discussion seems to indicate they can't be blocked by EasyList or the Hebrew list until the list maintainers fix that exception rule exploit. Is there a custom filter or filters that will get around this?

Thanks for the update, @fanboy!

@-Mark-, ye gods and little fishes. Doesn't keeping that many filters in play slow down your browsing??

Hi! It looks like those filters aren't working. We have a report from a user who is unable to post in the forum. She says: pc, win10, chrome 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit), adblock 3.8.7, http://www.stream2watch.cc/ now it happens that clicking to choose a page from the menu (for ex "live sports" &...

@dimisa @Lain_13 @Lanik @smed79 @intense Существует ли процесс подачи апелляции? Аргументы, выдвинутые Алексом, кажутся разумными.

To save folks from having to look elsewhere:

Michael Gundlach sent us the following filter, which amends one I got originally from the ABP forum post referred to above. Michael says this filter works in all cases he's found:

Hi! A user reports there are NSFW ads on animestreams.net. He's using ABP (not sure which version; he's on Twitter), I'm using AdBlock. I'm seeing them in Chrome, MS Edge, and Firefox. I'd rather not include a screenshot (call me old-fashioned). Are you guys seeing them as well? http://www.animestre...

Great information, guys. Thanks again!

A quick update: AdBlock for Chrome 3.8.8 and later are blocking these ads without the need for custom filters. (At least for now. Let the arms race begin again!)

One of our users ran into the same error when she tried to report the wordcamp.org sponsor issue just now.

Just to confirm, EasyList does block "sponsor" logos by design, not by accident?

These are great suggestions, thanks, guys! Specifics: @Lanik: 1. What's the difference between EasyPrivacy and Disconnect's Basic tracking list? 2. What exactly is Spam404? Is it checking for email servers known to be used by spammers the same way EasyList checks for known ad servers? @smed79: 1. Th...

Please let me know if this isn't the right place to post this or if it violates a forum rule. (I checked and it doesn't seem to.) We're thinking about making it easier for our users to subscribe to additional filter lists. Right now they have to go find other filter lists and subscribe by their URLs...

@lanik thanks for the advice. I'll pass it along to our users. Can you please recap the custom filters they can try (with the understanding as always that they may break at any time)?

@Lanik, we've got some users reporting they're seeing that error. I've read all the posts in this thread and in this one: https://forums.lanik.us/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=32909 (quite the saga, btw). I'm still not sure what to tell our users. Is it just a matter of keeping their list subscriptions u...

Hi! Posting on behalf of a user. The site definitepossibilities.com has two resources that look like ads (and are being blocked as such), but are actually needed content. They are Google Ad Partner and Bing Ads Accredited Professional badges. Can someone please take a look and add an exception for d...

Posting on behalf of a user who's unable to. He says: So I have tried to post a new topic about 20 times now and it keeps bringing up the error: "Fatal error: Cannot redeclare user_get_id_name() (previously declared in /home/lanik/forums/includes/functions_user.php:30) in /home/lanik/forums/inc...

@intense Confirming that the filters you provided here and in https://forums.lanik.us/viewtopic.php?p=102708#p102708 are no longer working in Chrome. I've cleared cache+cookies.
