I have been trying to allow ad-entries on the Google search result page. I am using IE 11.
Have tried below mentioned procedure (exporting from Firefox) without luck.
I have noticed in FireFox that if I allow ad's on the Google search page an entry as follows is added: "@@||google.dk^$document"
I have tried to add this entry to the patterns.ini for IE. No effect. And later updates seems to remove the entry from the patterns.ini-file.
Any suggestions - except from using FireFox ???
Wan't no ABP on Google
Re: Wan't no ABP on Google
you should use only the exported patterns.ini from firefox and not modifying the existent patterns.ini in ABP from IE.
Re: Wan't no ABP on Google
Thanks. However it does not seem to work.
Just to be sure I do it right:
- In FF I open "Filter preferences",
- Select "Backup and restore"
- Select "Create new backup"
- Select the file name patterns.ini and save it "somewhere"
- Finally move the saved file patterns.ini to "%user%/AppData/LocalLow/Adblock Plus for IE".
I have made to searches on the same keyword, one in IE and one in FF. The one from IE (still) lacks all sponsored/advertising material.
If you want I cam send you a screen dump of the two searches as well as the patterns.ini file. Please advise how to send it.

I tested right now, but not using firefox trick.
When on google.dk page, click ABP icon, click "disable on www.google.dk", then refresh the page ==> the ads will be on the page.

Re: Wan't no ABP on Google
Thanks. However the problem is I see no ABP icon when I am using IE. In FF I have it in the upper right corner - but nowhere in IE.
Re: Wan't no ABP on Google
ABP icon is on the Status bar in IE.
May need to enable 3rd party extensions (advanced tab in internet options).

Re: Wan't no ABP on Google
Thanks. I did not see the icon because display of the status bar was not enabled.
No it is and it seems to be working.
