Safari’s ABP Blocks too much?

Post by safari »

Safari’s version of ABP appears to interpret the same filter subscriptions differently than Firefox’s version.
Using the same filter subscriptions, sites like time.com (won’t scroll) and buzzfeed.com (improper rendering) breaks.

When ABP is disabled, the sites render properly, albeit with ads.
I am currently using 1.8.8 (release build) as the dev build doesn’t install properly.

I can't reproduce any of those issues with the current devbuild (1.8.8.1287) and Safari 8.0.2.

Please try to update. Devbuilds are back again. If the issue persist, could you please show a screencast? Which version of Safari and which filter lists are you using?

- You should try to make some cleaning in your filters, after that, update them all with the "Update now" button.
- When Safari is open, at the top left click on "Safari" and hit "Reset Safari".

I can't reproduce it either.

(Safari 8.0.2, ABP dev build 1.8.8.1287, EasyList, Fanboy's Annoyance List)
