How do you not see all the image dimensions in the filter rules? Picking just the those mentioned I tried 'grep 300x250 easylist.txt' and got 478 results!

Many are very specific and look like useful filters, but here are just a small sample of rules that are problematic: -300x250- -300x250_ .300x250. .300x250_ /300x250- /300x250. /300x250/




I see plenty along the pattern of "Ad300x250", but not general ones.


There's this: -300x250_

looks like the culprit.

I wasn't up to speed on the lists business. I will look into using a different list. I was just using adblock now and then at the default settings, I installed it and haven't touched settings.

I don't use it all the time because I don't want it interfering with testing and dev, messing with the document.

When it backfires and hides stuff you've just published, suddenly I'm cursing adblock because I know other default adblock users won't see the image.


Search further down, they're there.

This is actually frustrating, I had thought until now that easylist blocked only third party ads; this means they block self-hosted as well.
