On a page such as this from Yahoo Finance adverts appear at the bottom of the page. These could be covered with

@ Michael

I believe that it is more efficient if you don't use the DIV attribute in your rules

Code: Select all

yahoo.com##*#yfi_pf_ysm

Now that I look at the page again I've also noticed another advert that could be blocked using

Code: Select all

yahoo.com##*#yfi_pf_ad_mort
I've even remembered not to include the DIV attribute!

Looks like I forgot to include the link in my previous post :oops:

https://adblockplus.org/forum/viewtopic ... lit=render

I mention it because we all want EasyList to be as fast as possible and Ares2 went through the existing filters and rewrote them to be as fast as possible for ABP to process.

The reason I haven't added yahoo.com##.ad (but finance.yahoo.com##.ad) is that I think there was a false positive some time ago but I'm not really sure.
