Different behavior of the same filter

Post by StSav012 »

Hi, all!
Instead of using prefabricated lists, I created one of my own. Since I use several browsers and several devices, I decided to upload the list and add the subscriptions to it.
That was a great surprise for me when I found that

Code: Select all

facebook.com##div[data-ft*="ei"]
rule didn't work anymore. It should hide some Facebook ads (namely, “Suggested Posts”, or “Sponsored”). When I re-added it as my own filter (i.e. manually, in the second tab of the AdBlock Options), it began to work again (at least, I've never seen that ads).
My filter list is here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StSav ... cklist.txt (line 166 there).
I'm using Chromium 44.0.2403.89 Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit). Mozilla Firefox 40.0.3 for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0 suffers the same issue.

Actually, I can. It's written a little bit below where your link goes (see Attribute selectors). And it does work.

right, I misread your filter (I "saw" the wildcard inside " ")
