Yell.com banners slipping thru

E.g. Yell.com search, top of page.

Cedrics Liste caught them, although don't know which regex.

Got it!

I don't think Cedric used a regexp. I think he used an element block as it is easier that way with those 2 ads. I found the element at yell and have it hidden now.

Update the "Element" filter .... and Thanx.

Hi Rick

Thanks for the quick reply (and fix!). :)

I should've mentioned I was using only EasyList - not EasyElement.

I'd be happy to use both but I don't want Google ads removed from Google search results, which EasyElement obviously does. Is there a way to use EasyElement subscription but retain those ads?

I've only just installed ABP / EasyList today, so apologies if I've missed something that documents this.

David.

You should be able to click on some or all the 'little green balls" in the ELEMENT filter that start with 'google.com'. It turns the line gray which means that filter string is now disabled ... then hit 'Apply' .... that should do it. One or all of the strings under google probably controls those ads.

And, even if you update the filter, they should still remain disabled. :wink:

*EDIT*
More specifically, turn off this one:

google.com,google.ca,google.co.uk#table(width=25%)(align=right)

Easy when you know how. :)

I also disabled 'google.com,google.ca,google.co.uk#div(id^=tpa)' which controls the 'premium' ads that run along top.

Thanks for your help and thanks for the excellent set of filters.

David.
