video of Kanye Rushing the Stage not blocked

Post by tomasohara »

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

Code: Select all

||vine.co^$domain=usmagazine.com
You could also try the last dev build ABP 1.3.763

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:

Code: Select all

- typo: [disable the rule on] dome domains => some domains
- table layout issue: Columns get superimposed
      example.com,~mail.example.com#selector 
      Active on:
