But nowadays Adblock,
Keep an eye on Adblock, in Windows you no longer get the options box with the long check list of sites. So now there is no way to go to the bottom of that and uncheck all of the green text entries that are default exceptions. One of our linux boxes updated Adblock and that check list is gone there as well, now. If you want the control Adblock used to give you don't let it update. I have been searching for a replacement add-on for it for several weeks with no luck.
Err, this is the opensuse list, nothing to do with windoze. I run the current Adblock Plus (2.0.3) and I can quite easily examine the filter list. So I've no idea what you're doing. What did change recently is this notion of by default allowing "non-intrusive ads", but that's easy enough to turn off. Oh, and don't send private email to me please.

Apologies for the private email, I had intended the post to go to the list and didn't catch the misclick before sending. I know this is the opensuse list but thank you. As I said, I had noticed this change a while ago on the Windows Firefox versions we use and now saw it on the one linux (Opensuse) box we let update adblock. I was trying to share that information in case it was useful, particularly since the original poster mentioned doubleclick and there are several doubleclick entries in the default whitelist of Adblock.

Yes, we can still examine the filter list, but the easily accessible pop up box with checks beside each filter that let you choose to disable the very long section of automatically whitelisted sites is no longer there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
And with more digging I see that the checklist is still available in the linux version, it just takes more to get to than it used to. So that negates my concern that if the original poster followed the advice to dump Chromium for FF and/or add Adblock to Chromium, then the doubleclick hits would still get through. Good to know they can still be blocked. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
