Adblock Plus 1.1 not blocking in Chrome for BBC News
Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2011 3:51 pm
Hello,
Since I was updated to Adblock Plus 1.1 in Chrome 9.0.597.107, I have noticed something strange, namely on bbc.co.uk/news, but it may be on other sites as well (haven't noticed any others though). What happens is that I block a image but it doesn't get blocked immediately. The direct URL link (simple filter with direct link) is used, but the image doesn't go away. I try refreshing (F5) and refreshing skipping the cache (Ctrl+F5) and it still doesn't work. The only thing that makes the image get blocked and disappear is if I go to the Adblock options -> Add your own filters -> verify the blocked image is in the list (it always is) -> go back to the original site -> refresh the page. On other sites like yahoo.com and google.com, it's working as expected (blocked images are blocked immediately), but bbc.co.uk/news is acting strangely. I just wanted to bring this up to see if anyone else has this problem or can reproduce it. I tried clearing my cache in Chrome completely, but the issue still reoccurs. Thank you.
