Ad not blocked **EasyElement+EasyList**

Post by Hubird »

Angelfire have put a new ad on websites they host, look down the botton of http://www.angelfire.com/falcon/speedload/speedload.htm
Easy to block with the "element hiding helper" but thought it would be a good candidate for inclusion in "EasyElement+EasyList" subscription.

Yeah, chewey real mid-nineties ..... [*in a deep, echoey voice*] ... "when the web was new".

@Hubird:
Fixed. :arrow: :arrow: :arrow:
You might have to wait up to an hour for the combo-filter to update.

@Fanboy:
It's not a lycos block. But if you use */ad/* or a certain variation of it .. that would catch it ... I didn't have the right combo.

Why don't you have */ad/* in your list?, thought it would be the most obvious filter to have.

I used to. I had a lot of problems with it here. I ended up making some variations of it. Too many false-positives in this part of the world. It seems to be the "exploit" string of choice. It also created many video fp's.

Hmmm I guess 90's would be one way to describe it :lol: I did however find the utility itself useful and I like to check back every now and then to look for updates, so it's nice to have the site ad-free. With ABP disabled, angelfire tries to open a popup and has big ads at the top and bottom of the page but ABP and EasyList+EasyElement take care of it all, great work.
