It is possible to stop the pop up by blocking all scripts on the page:

Code: Select all

||windowsitpro.com^$script

I just need to narrow it down to the one causing the annoyance.

Code: Select all

windowsitpro.com###roadblockbackground

windowsitpro.com###roadblockcontainer

[Hubird]

Code: Select all

windowsitpro.com###roadblockbackground

windowsitpro.com###roadblockcontainer

I would prefer to prevent it from ever appearing by blocking the script responsible rather than hide it.

Though I wouldn't block all scripts on the site.

No, that was just proof of concept...Now it's a matter of finding the script responsible for the pop up and creating a more appropriate rule.

Added.

For any one interested

Code: Select all

||windowsitpro.com^*/doubleclick/doubleclick.

||windowsitpro.com^*/Roadblock.

Should block the pop up with no need for hiding rules.

The popup already is taken care of by the roadblock filter but I missed the locally hosted Doubleclick stuff:

Obsolete:

Code: Select all

||windowsitpro.com^*/doubleclick/

||windowsitpro.com^*/googleafc

||windowsitpro.com^*/roadblock.js

That roadblock nonsense probably peed off a lot of visitors...

Thanks, Ares2!
Let's hope they don't bring it back...

[Ares2]

By making us remove the rules, you automatically became responsible for notifying us immediately if they need to be readded. It clearly says so in § 217 (f) (4) of the EasyList contributors contract you signed, don't you remember?

[Marijo]

Sure, I will.
Thank God I didn't sign anything... Or did I?

PS: How do you maintainers check for non-existent domains in the filter lists? Via scripts or the good ol' fashioned way aka manually?

[Ares2]

Or did I?

Remember that night back in October? ...... No? Don't know what I'm talking about? ...... See.

Famlam has recently written something to automatically detect "dead, redirected or parked sites". The output will have to be verified manually.
