by Firefox user 13367921, 8 years agoIt works on several sites (I've been using it for many days) and it's great that I can block specific parts of pages without having to use another add-on (such as "Element hiding helper"). But, for some reason, even though I'm subscribed to several lists it doesn't block a SINGLE THING on http://brittanica.com/ (This is probably true for other sites as well.)
Even if I create special rules to block the ads, I re-load the page once or twice and new ads are displayed.
This is very annoying, this not "non-instrusive" advertising (and I have that setting unchecked, by the way) we're talking about ads with moving images and lots of blinking non-sense, right next to the article.
Adblock Plus allowed me to use the Encyclopedia Britannica site without any disturbances.

posted 8 years agoHi lionlionlionlion, thanks for your feedback! On Brittanica.com, I'm seeing a couple of small ads on some pages intermittently. Reloading the page once or twice hides the ads properly for me.
If you're seeing something different, particularly ads with moving or blinking images or ads that don't go away after a refresh, would you mind using our "Report an ad on this page" feature? It will run through some quick troubleshooting that will help us find out what's happening. Thanks!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18948543, 19 days agoYet another extension mooching off of ABP's revenue stream. These by definition, regardless of how much actual blocking they are doing, are just another method big corp uses to circumvent the real thing. Don't be fooled.
