--- Quote from: MK14 on March 14, 2023, 11:15:31 am ---As mentioned in another thread https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/eevblog-was-added-to-the-blocked-websites-in-easylist/msg4754504/#msg4754504 . It seems to have been fixed now. I forced my adblocker, to update the easylist (actually all lists), and it seems to be working just fine now, showing all images, with the adblocker fully running. --- End quote --- Is this really a fix? Easylist has more eevblog entries than before. --- Code: ---eevblog.com###text-49 eevblog.com##[href*="https://jlcpcb.com/"] eevblog.com##[href*="https://saving.em.keysight.com/"] eevblog.com##[href^="http://s.click.aliexpress.com/"] eevblog.com##img[src^="https://www.eevblog.com/images/comm/eevblog_banner_"] --- End code --- I don't understand how these got in there in the first place. There's no mention of eevblog on the Easylist forum. This is the first time I've questioned my adblocker (AdBlockPlus). I'm not happy that it's so hard to override entries in their lists. Ed |

Ed --- End quote --- Well, it at least seems to be functioning, (showing small images and icons), for me, unobstructed, now (after updating the lists, via my adblocker). Presumably, those remaining artifacts (of EEVblog), are part of the detection and hiding of unwanted (if you are using an adblocker), adverts and/or trackers. It would be interesting to know, how and why, those entries got into the EasyList. But, maybe to save time and hassle, or to keep the complainers identities secret, or some other reason(s). They don't allow easy access to how things came about. I only recently heard of EasyList, and still don't really know that much about it. One question that comes to mind. If we as users, click 'block element' (typically on an annoying image), on our adblocker. Does the fact we did that, get sent back to adblocker / EasyList, and cause them to do anything with the information? |

It's fixed. I just manually updated Adblock's filter lists and right after that the issues went away. :-+ |

I realize I'm talking about an adblocker here, but now, all the banner ads are being filtered out and I have no control over that unless I exempt eevblog from all filtering. But, there are a few items that I want to filter. It's one thing to deprive some megacorp of some advertising revenue, but I don't want to deprive Dave of any source of income. In another message, it was suggested that a line could be added to your personal filters that would allow eevblog. Unfortunately, that fix blocked other personal filters from functioning. Basically, I haven't been able to find a solution that has the granularity I want. Ed |

Just for interest Adblock Plus was working fine with Easylist re enabled as of yesterday and the top banner adds were hidden just as it used to be. When I removed the custom block/hiding of them they re appeared as you should expect. Until at a minimum the rolling yellow peril that is JLPCB is un giffed and toned way down then they are going back on the custom block list. Overall the two add blocks in the banner are way to much vertical real estate on each page change. |
