OK, I did add the "oldenship" filter and now my PCH works! Nothing seems to work with Safari though. I tried copying and adding the filter to "Add your own filters" and it didn't work.How can I make this work?

That link is confusing me. Everything works fine with Firefox now. It's Safari that's not working. Should I add the lists mentioned in the link to Safari?

I updated the easylist in Safari and applied the two you sent and the ads still pop up. These are video ads and the game won't start until the video is done. I do have quite a few filters in my "Add Your Own Filters". I'm wondering if some of these should be removed.

At least Firefox is working. I've always had issues with Safari and PCH.

well, video ads in safari are difficult to block (api limitations), so use firefox or chrome.

I really don't use Safari that often anyway so I guess I'll just leave it alone. Firefox is my main browser.
