Is it intentional that this doesn't come with a sensible white-list by default? It even blocks "pop-ups" from Google and Gmail. So far it has had more false positives than it helped prevent actual advertisement.

Yep, that's because we'd like to learn about all possible types of false positives first.

Most of the adblock walls are handled by the annoyances filter now.

Which is enabled and up to date but does nothing to circumvent any of the mentioned walls.

Enabled filter:

English
German
Social Media
Annoyances

Pretty much everything else is at out-of-the-box defaults at the moment (https blocking is enabled, no exception for EV sites).

This should work but doesn't.

And, yeah, http://www.faz.net and https://www.tweaktown.com aren't working either, since you mentioned it.

Check the "really bad" part of the announcement.

Oh, I misread that. So circumvention has not been moved into a filter that isn't enabled by default but has been removed entirely from any of the official filter lists.

Quite frustrating and this would give non-commercial blockers a big advantage.

Is there nobody maintaining an unofficial filter to circumvent these walls, though?

This is not about blockers, this is about filters. AG filters are open and available for any blocker.

Well, let's hope you'll find a satisfactory workaround in the future.

Anyways, I just found a bug in the 6.2 filter editor in the process:

Click the "+" icon and try to add an invalid rule. Instead of fixing it, click on another filter and then back to the filter you tried to add the rule to:
The invalid rule is gone but so is the line it was on. The "+" icon does nothing and no rules can be added until the Editor has been closed and re-opened. That's a bug.

Brilliant, thanks for everything so far.

@Blaz

Is there no way to create a general rules that circumvents the blockadblock.com wall on every site that uses it? Or do individual per site rules make more sense? I feel like it's getting adopted by quite a few sites these days, that may make maintaining a per-site list a bit difficult.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned. With the latest beta version, when I exit AG and choose "No" to the attention message and I then reopen AG, then it doesn't block ads in YouTube. I have noticed that AG doesn't skip ads all the time with this method, but about every 3rd time you exit AG. Can you please check it out.
