EEVblog was added to the blocked websites in EasyList
(1/8) > >>

Hi Dave, and admins.  Since 2-3 days ago somehow eevblog.com has landed in the blocked sites list on EasyList.  This list is used by most addblockers, including uBlock Origin and AddBlock Plus.

As a result icons are not visible any more, thumbnail for attached pics doesn't show, the "New" icons for new/unread content are blocked, too, etc.  Everybody with an addblocker, which is very common to have nowadays, will see a chopped down forum with mostly text.

Even more, the EEVblog ads are now blocked, too, by default.  Before, they were visible even for those using addblockers, because yours were hosted locally.  My guess is this adding of eevblog.com will reduce your ads income, just a speculation, but keep an eye on that.  EEVblog was added on the EasyList around the date of 8 March or so.

If you want EEVblog removed from the blocked sites list, somebody have to contact the EasyList list maintainers by email or by registering to their forum.

See at the bottom page, last paragraph of the https://easylist.to/

For uBlock Origin:
- visit EEVblog forum
- click on uBlock icon
- click the eye symbol to disable cosmetic filtering on this site
- click the padlock symbol to make changes permament

Blocking the eevblog.com domain affects everybody with an addblocker, registered or occasional visitor, reading either the forum or the EEVblog.com blog.  Will affect legit ads coming from EEVblog, too. 

There are many workarounds, but these would require action from the visitors.  A newcomer won't even know the pics are missing because of a blocking issue.  The proper way would be to remove eevblog.com from the EasyList, because EEVblog.com is not an adds domain.

I've fixed my browser already, and not complaining about anything.  This thread was just to inform Dave what it has to be done in case he decides to remove the EEVblog.com domain from the EasyList malicious sites list.

I fully agree. Just posted a quick workaround to deal with the EasyList issue until it will be resolved.

EDIT: Sent an email to EasyList. Let's see what happens next.
