Adblock Plus

Hi,

i want to support my preffered browsergame by allowing some Ads. Is there an easy way to disable my filter subscriptions and only use my individual block list? Setting the page on the white list (@@) also disables my list

Thanks for any hints

Just whitelist only the items that you want to allow ... not the whole site.

Even if they are 3rd-party ads, they will usually contain the site that you are on in the address so you can 'target' the whitelist so you still allow the items that you want, but they will still be blocked on other sites. You can usually find things like: ... in the 'Blockable items' list.

That way, you can whitelist doubleclick ONLY on 'yoursite'. The whitelist would look like something like this: This would only allow doubleclick's ads to run on 'yoursite.com' and nowhere else. not all 3rd-party servers are structured like this ... but many are. If they are first party ads from that site, simply whitelist the ad structure (or individual ads) like: ... or something along those lines. If there is no common defining directory or pattern, you will have to list them individually.

Note that whitelisting does not work on (dark-blue) #element-hides. Any offending string would have to be disabled individually in the subscription(s).

If you would like to leave a page address, I (or someone else here) would be happy to write the strings for it.

thanks for the hints. The site is http://www9.szs.looki.de/

I try to make that list later today

That will be difficult. A lot of the script is not site specific like I said above.

You won't be able to whitelist ads there unless you disable the subscription string that contains ".adition.com/"

Unfortunately, this will allow those on ALL sites. You could just whitelist the whole site and then 'element-hide' the items that you don't want with Wladimir's Element Hiding Extension. Whitelisting has no effect on those types of strings:

Keeping with my previous post:

If you whitelist the site with: ... and then go to the forum page at:
http://www.looki.de/forum/das_steinzeitspiel_f89/
... you will notice a flash banner there at the top of the page. Using element-hiding, you can tell all flash images that contain "looki.de" containing a subdirectory called "adfarm1" in the flash code not to appear. Element-hiding works EVEN if the page is whitelisted. That example there would be: This string would hide ANYTHING there served from "adfarm1.adition.com" (media or images): The beauty of element-hiding rules is that if you want to support the site but really do NOT want to see the ads, they are marked as 'viewed' on the host site because they are NOT blocked ... they are actually downloaded and are only 'hidden' on your browser locally.

Considering I am not sure what you want to see and what you don't want to see ... my hands are tied.

Thanks a lot for the tips. Hidding works really fine.
