whitelist for local files

[jedimasta]

I'm a designer and (yes, the hypocrisy is thick) part of my job is creating ads. I work primarily with Google Web Designer and serve to DoubleClick. I can easily whitelist the DoubleClick domain when I'm testing online files, but before they get to that point, I test them locally. I cannot seem to get a handle on a filter that works to unblock everything local. I have the following filters applied:

Code: Select all

@@||file:///Volumes/^$document
@@||https://www.google.com/doubleclick^$document
@@file:///Volumes/Server/^$document
@@file:///Volumes/Server/

In this case I'm using a Mac workstation. The path showing is the root of the networked path in my office where the files being previewed live. I can't find a pattern as to why, but sometimes these work and sometimes they don't. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, if anything? I was using the advice found elsewhere to come up with those filters, but it works randomly at best.

For chrome you could use generic filters.

You should try in ABP for firefox

see extensions.adblockplus.whitelistschemes

I'll give it a shot when I'm back in the office. Can you explain why genericblock or generichide works where $document doesn't?

probably because the extensions in chrome cannot access directly the local files
