Los Angeles Times

EasyList and Fanboy cause the byline and the date to overlap on the page for this LA Times article.

caused by ##.mod-adblock and ##.mod-adopenx
Even after whitelist the category name and article title still overlap plus it will cause empty div's all over the site. Does it really need a domain exception?

Code: Select all

##.ad_header

Will cause issues too.

Personally, I fixed the layout.

[fanboy]

That said it affects plenty of filters (in our list), and also ##.ad_header

Code: Select all

##.mod-adblock
##.mod-adcpc
##.mod-adopenx

And the benefit does look rather minor, really in similar vain to this request and also creates plenty of other empty div's around the rest of the website.

I guess not all fixes are easy. Just bringing it up.

This page shows you an ad before you can access the crossword puzzle. EasyList and Fanboy block the ad, but it still says "Advertisement" and you still have to wait 36 seconds. Is there anyway to skip it entirely?

EasyList and Fanboy now block the timer that says when the ad will go away. Is it possible to block the ad and display the timer? Right now, it's hard to know if the page is even going to load.

Thanks, but now the puzzle appears to be blocked.

There does not seem to be a way to close the ad if ABP is disabled (and it does not close by itself)...

removed latimes.com##.ARK_OverlayFixed

after around 20-30secs the grey disappears.., no way around it.

[enbob]

Thanks, I think EasyList is still blocking it.
