Can't block CSS files in Chrome?

Hi there - since AdThwart switched over to AdBlock+ on the Chrome browser, my user filters to block CSS files don't seem to do anything at all. If I add
Code: Select all
adblockplus.org/forum/styles/prosilver/theme/stylesheet_merged.css
to my user filters, nothing happens - this forum renders as usual. The same thing happens with the full URL, wildcards like '*.css' or even just 'css'. Am I missing something, shouldn't the full URL be enough to block it? It worked perfectly in AdThwart so I'm not sure what's happening now

Sorry I should have specified, I'm on the beta channel of Chrome (9.0.597.47) and I'm currently using version 1.0.25 of ABP

This is because AdThwart actually removed page elements while ABPC only disables them. The problem with AdThwart's approach was that it broke some pages. To fix this problem in ABPC, I added a little code to actually disable LINK tags when the (presumably stylesheet) URL matches a filter:
