http://online.wsj.com/public/us has an ad at the top - http://online.wsj.com/img/promos/mark p ... update.gif. Maybe add */promos/* filter or do you think this will create false positives?
PS: Yes, this ad cannot be blocked via context menu - bug 16605.

Well, that's an annoying little beggar, isn't it?
I think that is probably too general (I think I had that one quite a while back but got rid of it because of a couple of fp's).
But:
... damn ... if you have to use it twice, it can't be good.
Done!
I think that
Code: Select all
*/promos/*
But:
Code: Select all
/promos/*promo
Done!

Embedded wsj.com video will not work without the above filter. After clicking play a ~2 sec intro will play, followed by "your video will begin in 15 seconds" while nothing actually happens.
Note that the 1x1 gif will be blocked even though its url isn't covered by the filter itself.
Code: Select all
||doubleclick.net/pfadx/*.wsj$object_subrequest,third-party

I have unblocked the video ad at the beginning to make the main content work again but that leaves a rather foul taste in my mouth. If someone knows a better way I'm open for suggestions.

suggestion wise, worked out of the box here.
I use,
rather than
I use,
Code: Select all
.com/ads/$image,background,subdocument
Code: Select all
.com/ads/
Why not block the ad with my suggested filter? There's already a similar filter in EasyList (||doubleclick.net/pfadx/*.mtvi$object_subrequest,third-party) for Comedy Central embedded content.Erunno wrote:https://hg.adblockplus.org/easylist/rev/fd3f64488b81

It doesn't show up for me. With the exception of crossdomain.xml all Doubleclick addresses are blocked on the page you provided.e80 wrote:Why not block the ad with my suggested filter?

I've double checked on another computer and am getting the same behavior there. Did you play the video to the point where the 15sec problem occurs before checking the blockable items list? That's where the other obj subrequests happen for me.Erunno wrote:It doesn't show up for me.
