Adblock Plus

AdBlock Plus (v1.3) doesn't seem to block the following video element under IE 11:

<p><iframe src="https://vine.co/v/OUvAvAYQm6I/embed/simple" width="467" height="467"></iframe>
<script src="https://platform.vine.co/static/scripts ... "></script>
</p>

See http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-new ... gif-201592 for full HTML.

I also tried manually blocking vine.co, platform.vine.co, and http://www.usmagazine.com to no avail.

if you tried manually, probably you prepare in firefox your patterns.ini and put it under ABP for IE.
add this filter You could also try the last dev build ABP 1.3.763
https://downloads.adblockplus.org/devbu ... .3.763.exe

Thanks, I tried the the dev build (763), and it didn't work.

By manual, I meant by using the UI not the ini file. I had added an exception by accident: looks like there no way to add explicit filter via IE interface

Your rules works, but I tried the following to be more general:
||vine.co/*/embed

I only visited US Magazine via someone's Facebook link. The above rule should work for other clients of vine.co.

By the way, is there other documentation on rules besides en/filters? That is a bit verbose, and it doesn't provide a summary of the rule format (instead providing illustrations by example). So, it would be good for there to be a succinct reference of all the special constructs that can be used in rules (e.g., ||, *, ^, and @@).

Thanks, that's better.

Note that I found the following issues in the cheatsheet:
