Filters?

Post by thirdeye42 »

For about a week or so now I've been having to manually update my filters each morning to block "some" ADs on Youtube.
This morning was a little bit different. I go to update my filter, because of Youtube ADs, and one of my filters won't update.

It's not a problem for me, for now at least, but I thought I should let you guys know.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! I wasn't able to reproduce this on my end. Are you still having this issue with updating Easylist? You can also send us some example URLs of videos where ads appear on youtube, we'd be happy to get this sorted.

Thanks

Nope, I am not having this problem anymore.

UGH! I just updated my filters because of Youtube which reminded me I posted here!
I will post here tomorrow with a video or screenshot preview when it occurs.

Normally I see "some" ADs on the videos themselves but could not reproduce, maybe tomorrow.

??? I didn't create this thread to deter potential users -.- Doing it to help solve the problem.
I've been using Adblock Plus for so many years and only now, for a month or 2, have I had a problem with it's functionality.

Almost every piece of software, especially AD Blockers, are gonna need updating/patching to keep up with competitors.
AD Blockers have a lot working against them, powerful companies, browser updates, techniques on pushing ADs... what else is there?
