I tried loading the site you mention and, enabling all automatic filters, only one image was blocked: https://tpc.googlesyndication.com/generate_204?DBDfQw The way it should work is that images displayed in an <img> html element and which match one of the enabled filters are blocked. Images displayed in other ways may not be filtered. I just realized that, for some reason, the list of automatic filters in the adblock configuration page is completely empty, meaning you can't use any of the predefined lists that can be found online and you're forced to manually create your own filters. I don't know why and when this happened (I don't think it was intentional), but I'll try to fix this issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
