Block revcontent?

Hi there - I've successfully blocked Outbrain and Taboola ads using this format:

||taboola.com

However it doesn't seem to be working on an apparent newcomer to these obnoxious ads: revcontent.

Here is a page as an example: http://www.technobuffalo.com/2016/03/03 ... -3-beta-5/

Any ideas on how to get that blocked like Taboola/Outbrain?

Thanks in advance.

I get no ads on that page (I get revcontent only disabling ABP for the page)

Do you allow non-intrusive ads or no? The revcontent ads (just below the article itself, right under all the hashtags) is all I get.

Edit: When I uncheck "allow some non-intrusive ads" the revcontent ads disappear, so I guess they pay to be on the whitelist. :?

I like supporting with non-intrusive ads, so I'd rather not uncheck that and simply block revcontent like I have outbrain/taboola. But these content recommendation sites are ridiculous.

yes, you right
keep the acceptable ads and add:

Code: Select all

technobuffalo.com##[id^="rcjsload"]
or

Code: Select all

technobuffalo.com##[data-delivery*="/click.php"]

Thanks, but I don't want to just block it there - I want to block revcontent everywhere.

##[style*="revcontent.com"]
##[data-delivery*="revcontent.com"]

That got rid of 99% of it - thank you very much. Here's what it looks like now:

That got it - thank you very much. I need to go read up on the code/formatting for this stuff. Thanks again.

What comes before the ##, if anything, must be a comma-separated list of domains or domain exceptions (domains prepennded by ~ which mean "not on this domain or subdomains"); if nothing comes before the ## then it's a generic hiding filter, applying on all domains, and it's the kind of filter disabled on pages that match exception rules with the $generichide option.

What comes after the ## must be a valid CSS selector: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... S_Selector
