That's much better than what I said. I'm pretty awful at wording things. :\

IceDogg: No worries. Or something.

How about making a new option and/or adding a new "doctype" string. Something like [Adblock Plus 0.8 /match-case]

@nobody: No, more options is a bad thing. Same about "doctypes" that radically change the behavior - the browser makers are only doing this because they are desperate.

My "TOP 5" from Rick's filterset :

Code: Select all

http://adserv
http://pagead2.
http://ad.
.doubleclick.
http://ads.

They are the only filters with more than 900 hits each.

My Top 5 from my list are:

Code: Select all

*.photobucket.*               -      195,597 hits
*de*.myspace.com/*            -      5,515 hits
*.*layout*.*                  -      2,159 hits
*.imageshack.*                -      1,066 hits
*.myspace.*html.ng*           -       819 hits

I have made several exception filters for all my friends photobucket accounts... I have blocked photobucket because a lot of crap sites such as those glitter, free comment pictures, and what not sites use photobucket to host them... Same with imageshack, but not nearly as many...

My top 5:

Code: Select all

|http://ad.doubleclick.net/$match-case - 2360 hits
|http://a.tribalfusion.com/*$match-case - 1042
|http://www.google-analytics.com/$match-case - 829
|http://servedby.advertising.com/$match-case - 805
*/s_code.js|$match-case - 767

I reset my hit counts pretty frequently. With 2360 hits for that one filter, I guess I'm getting to need to do it again.
