Adblock breaks Yahoo Finance home page

[Guest]

When accessing http://finance.yahoo.com with firefox 1.5.0.3 and adblock plus 0.7, with the rick752 filter updates, the page is broken up and I get this message a quarter of the way down the page:

Note: You are reading this message either because your browser is not standards-compliant, or your browser failed to load our css files.

Is there any remedy to this? If I disable adblock, the page loads and flows normally, so that would indicate there is a problem with filter list or adblock.

thanks.[/url]

Rick, apparently Yahoo is storing their CSS inside the ads directory....sneaky.

This is not caused by an element block, but rather by a stylesheet that contains */ads/* in the address. This is in the regular EasyList filter. It seems to only affect the yahoo financial homepage ... all other pages selected in the finance area display fine. This is a new 'trick' from Yahoo.

For now, you could just whitelist the stylesheet. Add:

@@http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/ ... 030329.css

... to your own filter. I may have to rewrite a few different things to get around this ploy.

EDIT: Wait! I just realized that this is a 'dated' css file.

So the battle begins

Got it!

Update the regular "EasyList".

No whitelisting needed now.

Awesome!

That was quick!

Thank you for the good work you do!

Yahoo Finance page is broken again. What line do I need to remove from the filter list?

Yahoo Financial looks fine here. Read this ... should fix it:

My bad, I noticed that prepackaged */ads/* line was in there after I posted.

Works great....thanks

I'm trying to get Wladimir to remove that 'example' from the Adblock Plus 0.7 install.
