New floating ad panel -- Engadget

Post by MrF »

Just appeared this morning. Here's a screenshot.:

I'm using Chrome for Mac, but I know Chrome has some unique issues
with ABP. Maybe you've already handled this for Firefox; just wanted to
be sure you are aware of it.

Would you please provide a specific link to a page on which this advert appears?

Sorry -- I thought that was obvious from my description.

I should explain the context a little more: I had already visited http://www.engadget.com/ and some of the articles yet was unable to reproduce find the advert when using Firefox. I therefore requested confirmation of the page on which the advert appeared (they are sometimes located on obscure pages that I have not checked). However, given the precise address my initial findings I would suggest that this is only an issue with Adblock Plus for Chrome, which should be confirmed if you view the same page with Firefox, Adblock Plus and EasyList.

Thanks for checking, Michael.

Yes, as I mentioned up-front I presumed this to be a Chrome-specific
bug...just like the last two I posted, here. But at the time, I had no easy
access to Firefox, Safari, or etc.

And, just to be clear, this ad appeared on Engadget's main page...the
only page I or most other people I know ever see. Very little reason to
click the "more" links on that 'site.

Again, I appreciate the follow-up.
