I asked once before, I think.
You want me to copy this - or any - script and paste it into "edit filters." Right?

I inserted script.
I updated all filters.
I tested it and it didn't work.
I also tested it disabling Privacy Badger and it didn't work.
I tried it again.
Not working.

Is it possible that I have too many scripts enabled?

In IE, this article has comments.
I never updated ABP in IE. I assume that I don't have to.

Thank you.

Try using only ABP, no other addon enabled.
The fix is already in easylist, just update it and disable all other custom filters.

FF 57.0.2
Blocked again.
Politico at IE is working fine.

I thought I wrote about this a few days ago.
Adblock Development Build updated today. Filters updated daily, including today.

PS - I did and you responded on page 2. I didn't see page two the first seventeen times.

I disabled all addons and disabled all filters except EasyList.
The only thing that I cannot figure out how to do is disable my custom filters.

The only difference that I see on Politico is that the bar (Comments) stays blue instead of reverting to black.

Thank you.

I cannot reproduce the issue. Keep only ABP enabled, disable all other addons, test again.

Upon further frustration, I went to the Mozilla forum.

With their new Quantum FF, they have their built in tracking protection.
In the search bar, far left, there is a shield.
For some reason unknown to me, the blocking protection was enabled.
Once I disabled it, the comments flowed like water.

Thank you for your help.
Hopefully this can help others.
