Adblock Causing Site Content to Collapse

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Thu Aug 25, 2005 7:56 pm

When I view websites like AnandTech.com and NeoWin.net with Adblock enabled it gets rid of the ads just fine but it also collapses the content of the page until you disable Adblock which negates the purpose of Adblock as it requires me to see those stupid ass advertisements everywhere. I’ve also noticed a couple other pages that are a bit twitchy. I am using Filterset.G from pierceive.com. Are the rules too restrictive or is this a new tactic by webmasters to thwart Adblock and similar systems.

I updated to the latest Filterset.G and it still does it.

If you don't want the space left behind to collapse after blocking the ads then disable the "Collapse Blocked Elements" under Adblock Options. If you are using Filterset.G then also install the whitelist beta as well.

This sounds like the intellitxt stuff being blocked when its not supposed to be. Use the Filterset.G Whitelist too and it will fix it.

I found the problem. As soon as I disabled "Check DIV Elements" it stopped doing what I was describing. It still blocks all of the ads but it is no longer collapsing site content at the sites I mentioned above or other web sites.
