ABP for iOS breaks www.ad.nl

Post by absmn »

With ABP for iOS enabled, http://www.ad.nl/ is displayed as plain text, without formatting.
I am using an iPad Air with iOS 9.0.2.
Could you look into this? Thank you!

it should work, there is already an exception filter in easylist:

Code: Select all

@@||ad.nl/ad/css/$~third-party
it works fine in firefox / chrome (desktop systems)

Did you try the adblock browser for iOS ?

Thank you for your quick reply.
It works indeed on Firefox/Chrome for Desktop, but unfortunately not on iOS devices when using Safari with ABP enabled.
Could it be that the exception filter is not enabled in ABP for iOS?
It seems that the css-files are blocked indeed.

The site is displayed fine with the Adblock Browser for iOS.
I hope you can fix this for Safari on iOS as well.

the content blocking mechanism in iOS has a lot of limitations, so, I'm not sure all the issues can be addressed right now by the devs

We will be looking into more frequent Easylist to content blocking rules conversions and optimizations soon. Sorry for the breakage!
