Domain filter does not avoid new tab

Hello,

i manually blocked a whole site, because it often opens
automatically on different sites. The ads on this site are filtered, but this new tab stil opens. Can't Adblock avoid that? If not it would be a nice feature...

Have you got an example of a site this happens on, maybe there is a better way than trying to block the whole site.

I don't think ABP was designed with blocking whole sites in mind (pop up blocking).

This site opens when u download something from uploaded.to. ( http://www.flirt-fever.de )

What else should i then use to block a whole site?
Also Adblock was not designed for this, i think it would be a good feature and not really hard to implement =)

See http://adblockplus.org/en/faq_features#siteblock

But BlockSite won't really help you either - the popup will still be opened. Neither Adblock Plus nor BlockSite is a popup blocker.

You may have to find the script that initiates the popup on "uploaded.to" to stop the popup itself.

But whole sites CAN be hidden in ABP simply by adding:

Code: Select all

[domain name]#body

In the case of the popup page:

Code: Select all

flirt-fever.de#body

... hides the whole domain.
