ABP doesn't let me log into websites

Post by tgf61387 »

Hi all,

I'm a long-time user of ABP for the Web and can't imagine the internet these days without it. That said, I'm having a hellacious time on my Nexus 9. I have ABP installed, and it though it does the trick in blocking ads (mostly - not all, and yes, I have unclicked the allow some ads box, but I digress), I can't log in to ESPN.com or Yahoo.com.

When I try to log in, it takes my info as if it's allowing me to log in (i.e., when i mistype my password, it tells me wrong pw, but when i do it properly it's acknowleged tacitly by not rejecting it), but i'm not actually logged in. Whereas my username would typically appear on the top of the screen, it still says " Sign In" no matter what. When I turn off ABP, i can sign in and it works properly.

I have set up a bypass proxy for espn.com through the WiFi settings, but can't do it for yahoo as well (seemingly can only do one domain even though i tried to separate it by doing espn.go.com; yahoo.com, but it won't allow me to do anything beyond the first domain).

Does anyone have any ideas? I appreciate it greatly!!!

Thanks mapx. The comma did the trick.

Of course, this solution just allows me to proceed without using ABP on these websites. Is there a way to log into these sites so that ABP actually works on them?

Thanks!

filtering the ads on android is not very simple, so there are still bugs. We can only wait for the devs to find the solution.
