loomia [added]

[bluedevil]

I wonder if loomia should be added to the list?

I noticed on the WSJ website that everytime I clicked on a blank area on the page, a request was being sent to a.loomia.com. I added a personal filter for the loomia domain but was wondering if this should be added to the filter list? Or perhaps, a better filter would be /clixdom.js

The code snippet from the WSJ webpage is given below.
Let me know if any more information is needed - I'm a newbie user for ABP so apologies for not drilling down the problem further.

I added that ... it does looks a bit creepy I actually added it to the EasyList because I think it is more "ad" related.

[chewey]

In that case, could you please duplicate it in the tracking list?
It is still an obvious tracker too.

[rick752]

Because I really haven't seen an ad for it yet, I moved it to the tracking filter (may add it to both if I notice it serving ads too)

[bluedevil]

I actually noticed that enabling this filter sometimes gets text to overlay/overlap with text on the right column.

Perhaps, we should replace .loomia. and use clixdom.js instead (which would only disable our clicks from going to loomia i guess)?

Does that fix the overlap problem?

***EDIT***
After looking at that some more, it seems that /clixdom.js would be that most likely tracker. The other seems to have to do will other features ... so I will change it

Thanks again!
