How To Manually Filter Domains

[Theoblivion]

After searching for a little while on this site, I couldn't find the filter to block the popups from the site thevideo.me when viewed from primewire.ag properly (||popularitish.com^$popup was suggested on a previous forum thread but it was ineffective).

The fix is simple: look at the URL of the popup in the top-left corner as it loads, the beginning part is the site that's loading up your popup. For me, it was static.servingit.co so I created the filter

Code: Select all

||static.servingit.co^$popup

and now it works fine without popups. Could be different for other people based on your setup and host site used. Here's an image to demonstrate where to look for the URL that is bringing up your popup:



As you can see it's in the bottom as well, whichever works for you. You'll have to catch it fast with your eye as it will quickly re-route to the ad-site, but the first domain will be the one responsible for the popup.

Once you have figured out the domain responsible for bypassing your Adblock Plus, go to Adblock Plus Options > Add Your Own Filters and type in ||<enter domain here>^$popup and press Add filter



This is just a tutorial thread on how to take care of popups. Hope it helps and enjoy popupless browsing experience!

Thanks! Can you tell me what it does? Specifically what do the double @ signs mean in this case.
