I am using AdBlockPlus utilizing
https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist.txt

I would like to whitelist a particular element:

Code: Select all

embed.sendtonews.com^$third-party

Is there some way for me to do that?

That's a network filter which blocks the entire site. You'd have to whitelist the site first then block anything you don't want to see.

That doesn't seem to work. When I whitelist the site I have in mind, the option to "Block element" no longer appears on the ADP dropdown. So, once I whitelist the site, it appears to be completely whitelisted.

The only way that I see is to disable the entire Easylist. And then work from there. But Easylist is a very useful list for many other sites. There is just one element on one site that I would like to whitelist.

Would help to know the site where you see these requests and the element you're trying to allow.

The embed link in EasyList seems to be a Javascript with a query string that represents a video:

Code: Select all

https://embed.sendtonews.com/player3/embedcode.js?fk=##videoID##

Here is one example: It is from this company that controls the embedcode and does the streaming (stnvideo.com is sendtonews.com):

Code: Select all

https://www.stnvideo.com/our-company/

If you go to the Our Company page of their website and look for the "Our Company" section half way down the page, the video is blocked.

Maybe this embed is included in EasyList because some clients use it to stream advertisements.

Tested with latest uBO on Chrome. Can't vouch for any other Adblocker / Browser:

Code: Select all

@@||embed.sendtonews.com^$script,xhr,domain=stnvideo.com
@@||player.sendtonews.com^$script,domain=stnvideo.com
stnvideo.com#@#[class^="s2nPlayer"]

Probably yes.
