I'm seeing some elements which need hidden on the main page in the rightmost column:

HTML code

maybe something like:

Code: Select all

These broken links turned out to be due to a whitelist rule I was experimenting with. The rule was:

Code: Select all

@@||zqtk.net^
This overrode a rule in the PrivacyList.

wsj.com makes use of this in the carousel control that they put at the top of some articles. See the attached screen shot.

But when I added the whitelist rule to fix the carousel it resulted in some broken links in a column control which contained ads. See second attached screen shot to see where ads are on the main page.

The solution was to enable these controls just for articles and not for the main page using:

Code: Select all

@@||zqtk.net^*articles$domain=wsj.com
This disabled the control on the main page so we don't get the ads but enabled it in the article pages to fix the carousel.

Here's what the carousel looks like with this modified whitelist rule:
