Block That Block!

[stoutfellow]

One of the relatively few Firefox add-ons that I use is AdBlock Plus. I'm generally pretty happy with the results. However....

I visit the Daily Kos website with some frequency. ABP, in its wisdom, has apparently decided that that entire site is an ad; the site opens and I see nothing but a blank page. It's definitely ABP's doing - disabling it allows me to see the site.

I can't figure out how to tell ABP not to block a specific site. Anybody know?

It's pretty simple - click the dropdown arrow next to the ABP icon and about 3 items down, click the "Disable on www.dailykos.com/"

But have you inadvertently blocked it yourself? Because I am not experiencing any problems with the site.

Maybe hit the ABP button and see what comes up for "Blockable items on current page" - if there's some rule blocking stuff from dailykos.com in addition to the blogads and google ads blocks, then that should probably be deleted (you delete the applicable filter rule Adblock's Preferences.)

Finally, what filter subscription are you using to block ads? I'm using the Fanboy's List filter, and that has been pretty rock solid for me. It might be worth swapping out whatever filter subscription you have (although I never had any problems with EasyList either), just to eliminate that as a potential issue.

Aw, cripes. It never even occurred to me to right-click the icon.

Thanks!
