Little bit bizarre with books.google.com?

Post by Guest »

Ok, so go to books.google.com. Enter something to search. The page returned is "blank" with only the number of pages found. Now try to "disable on books.google.com". Strange enough, same effect. You have to disable adblock+ to see results from Google Books. Any idea what's causing this?

Probably some element hiding rule matching the site's content.
"disable on $foo" actually is a bit misleading, as this only adds a whitelisting
rule for the domain, thereby not deactivating element hiding rules (those
contaings #s): Those cannot be whitelisted.

I think this is beggining to become worth a sticky :-)
