How to deactivate invisible full page ads?

Post by loomingshadows »

I recently started downloading from solidfiles. Unfortunately solidfiles has a completely invisible full page ad covering the download page of any file. You can't even right click the download button or direct download link because of the full page invisi-ad. How can we fight this?

Now they won't load the page until I turn Adblock Plus off. Is there a way around this error message?

read here about filters
en/filters

anyway: @@ means filter exception (needed sometimes to break anti adblocking tricks or to repair sites broken by some filter)

Aah, yes, this seems promising. As a newbie I didn't know how to appreciate that page, but now I see it's a good start. Cheers.
