Disables all images in http://distrowatch.com/

[Michael]

This has been discussed many times before...

The current situation represents the best solution available for the domain. Various combinations of hiding rules, blocking filters and whitelists have been tried before and have all failed because of the fact that folders appear to be renamed randomly at least once every twenty-four hours. Previous discussion is primarily located in the development forum, although the specific issue of whether or not to whitelist DistroWatch items is publicly available at http://forums.lanik.us/viewtopic.php?t=6489.

Well, if you wish to see the arrows, add these items to your white list:

Code: Select all

All the OS logos in the main middle column are getting blocked from this subscription on my windows and linux machines.

seems a little aggressive...

I accept that it is very aggressive, but there currently appears to be no other way to block the adverts. I therefore stand by my earlier statement:
