How to remove ads that use the web address of the page?

On this web page "Nvidia's New Pascal GPU Possibly Out First Half 2016 With 16GB 2nd Gen High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) : Trending News : Venture Capital Post" at http://www.vcpost.com/articles/109033/2 ... 6-16gb.htm , as you can see the web address of this web page is http://www.vcpost.com. But the ads that are displayed on this web page and that are tailored to the country where I am located (UK) are inserted on this web page and they use also http://www.vcpost.com.
Here is one of the web addresses of these ads displayed on this web page:
http://www.vcpost.com/2015/372/7NfAGxWb ... ,3173,2122

Therefore, I cannot get rid of these ads by using the usual filters such as ||vcpost.com^ . Therefore, which filters such I use in such a tricky case?

I put screen output of the web page and you will see that these ads are located on this web page at the top right and bottom left. See https://mega.nz/#!8EoxWQ6b!24ig1AHadPTK ... ZlqcsguI_k

To conclude, thanks to let me know what filter I could use in such a tricky case? Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hello mapx, many thanks for your feedback because I tested the generic version that you gave as follows:
##[class$="_asi"]
##[class*="mdeyheadline_"]
and then all the painful junk ads completely disappeared!

Thanks again, PROBLEM NOT FULLY SOLVED YET, as these filters do not work on all web pages. See my next posting.

BUT these filters do not work at other web pages such as http://www.christiantoday.com/article/m ... /73090.htm

Unfortunately, mapx, the filters below that you have given me do not work on this web page (and others) http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2015/12 ... ald-trump/
Same problem at http://www.christiantoday.com/article/m ... /73090.htm

vcpost.com##[class$="_asi"]
vcpost.com##[class*="mdeyheadline_"]
or

##[class$="_asi"]
##[class*="mdeyheadline_"]

Any idea on what filters to use on this particular page?

Hello mapx,

Thanks for your help on getting rid of annoying ads that were still displaying and that are now gone with the extra filters below that you indicated in your previous email.
In particular for the following links:
---http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2015/12 ... ald-trump/
---http://www.christiantoday.com/article/m ... /73090.htm

Here are the filters that I have added:
##[class*="mdeyheadline_"]
##[class$="_simule"]
##[class$="_box"] > A[target="_blank"][rel="nofollow"]


PROBLEM SOLVED.
If I found new sites where I see similar ads, I will continue the discussion on this particular posting.

Hello, mapx, could you check why, for the following web page, the following filters do not work?

Here are the filters I use:
##[class$="_asi"]
##[class$="_image_holder"]
##[class$="_label_box"]
##[class*="mdeyheadline_"]
##[class$="_simule"]
##[class$="_box"] > A[target="_blank"][rel="nofollow"]

Here is the web site where ads do appear despite these filters used:
http://conservativevideos.com/how-obama ... ald-trump/

Thanks for your help to get rid of the ads on this web page.

add the site / domain to the filters

Code: Select all

conservativevideos.com##[class*="mdeyheadline"]
conservativevideos.com##[class$="simule"]
conservativevideos.com##[class$="_box"] > A[target="_blank"][rel="nofollow"]
this is due to this special filter in easylist

Code: Select all

@@||conservativevideos.com^$generichide
this means all the hiding filters are disabled (and only the domain specific hiding filters are accepted)

Thanks mapx for your new filters for this particular web site, as it now gets rid of the extremely annoying ads.

So, for the web page:
http://conservativevideos.com/how-obama ... ald-trump/
these new filters work fine at getting rid of the extremely annoying ads:
conservativevideos.com##[class*="mdeyheadline"]
conservativevideos.com##[class$="simule"]
conservativevideos.com##[class$="_box"] > A[target="_blank"][rel="nofollow"]

If I found new sites where I see similar ads, I will continue the discussion on this particular posting.

And I put christiantoday.com and www.christiantoday.com before the above filters and, in both cases, it simply does not work!!

Here is the web site where ads do appear despite these filters used:

Thanks for your help to get rid of the ads on this web page.

I see no ads with the last easylist, force an update of your filter lists

Hello mapx,

Thanks for your feedback. I updated manually all my filter subscription lists and I do not see any ads anymore.

For those who do not know how to do this manual update of their subscription lists, click on the ABP button, Filters preferences, select EasyList, press the Actions button at the right of the subscription list, select Update filters and it should update your subscription filter list. Repeat for any other subscription list you might have.

By the way, I would really be so much better if these subscription filter lists would automatically update in the background without the users of these subscription lists having to do a manual update.

Again, thanks for your help.

The subscriptions are updated automatically every 4-5 days.
