[QUOTE="Heretic Apostate, post: 1416281, member: 696"] I made the mistake of "upgrading" to the new version of AdSubtract. What a total ripoff! I had the previous version of AdSubtract Pro, but they stopped updating it. So it was either upgrade or else... Unless I'm totally missing something, you can no longer set custom blocking settings for each and every website you visit. Instead, you can (1) set global blocking settings, (2) choose which websites won't be filtered by AdSubtract at all, or (3) try to figure out how to block or exclude from blocking, based on a great deal of trial-and-error. In addition, I've tried it on NKL, and the damn thing just doesn't work. I've got it set to block ads, and I've got it to block javascript. Under those settings, with the old AdSubtract, I'd never see those offensive ads being posted there. But nope, each and every one gets through, even when I go through the motions of listing every single one of them as "block [i]this[/i]". If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. But, if as is likely, if they released the version prematurely, take my warning to heart: Don't upgrade! It's worse than worthless, because you can't import all the settings from your old AdSubtract, so you'll have to go through and manually reset every single thing you had blocked before, without the benefit of being able to setting custom blocking for individual websites...
