Adblock Plus

So a few times I've seen a doubleclick url hit by the simple filter http://ad.*

it looks something like this example:

http://ad.doubleclick.net/imp;v1;f;2087 ... [timestamp]

This is what shows up in the blocked items window. How can one actually block the | character without the adblock "ends with" or "starts with" ruleset being invoked?

Afaik,it is only a problem if you try to begin or end a string with it. If you are ending your string with that character as the last character (but you want it to continue as a wildcard rule), try putting a wildcard after it: If I remember correctly, that will work.

Rick, you remember correctly.

thanks.

I don't really have any plans to allow doubleclick ads, I just wanted that info for my own edification.
