This appears after attempting to generate 3 citations on the site. The element is successfully blocked with the element hider (for now) for a single instance with the filter "easybib.com###_1213b629-f696-4ca3-98b6-938638097bb9 > span > div" , but later reappears using a different code.

@8Ajgz Hi. Please test these rules in custom filter:

@@||c.amazon-adsystem.com/aax2/apstag.js$domain=easybib.com
@@||c.amazon-adsystem.com/bao-csm/aps-comm/aps_csm.js$domain=easybib.com
@@||googletagservices.com/tag/js/gpt.js$domain=easybib.com

I put the code you suggested in the "user rules" section. I got a different issue this time, after trying to make a citation. The element helping hider selected the code below to block:

easybib.com###\37 c4352ea-0636-410e-aa05-eb110c168819 > div > div

I don't know if this is helpful, but easybib is using the following cookies:

[Alex-302]

Hmm. I can't reproduce any popups with the rules above.

@AdguardTeam/filters-maintainers please take a look.

[Sergey-Lyapin]

I still see anti-adblock with these rules

@8Ajgz please add this rule to user-filter and check the site again ||atc.studybreakmedia.com/modules/abb/abb-v0.8.1.js

[8Ajgz]

@Sergey-Lyapin I wasn't sure if you wanted the @@ in front of the rule, so I tried it both ways. Still getting the following message.

@Alex, be sure to make 3 web citations using Easybib, to test, as it doesn't appear on startup. I used articles from the the new york times to start as a test.

[Sergey-Lyapin]

||atc.studybreakmedia.com/modules/abb/abb-v0.8.1.js This rule blocks anti-adblock script, with it I don't see any popups. I can't reproduce "Click below to continue citing" popup

[8Ajgz]

Well, at least that's part of a bug down. I see the popup message again on my second citation. It seems somewhat random. Here is a Mhtml file for reference if it helps at all. EasyBib_ Free Bibliography Generator - MLA, APA, Chicago citation styles.zip

Please check with this rule

easybib.com##body > iframe[id="sovrn_beacon"] ~ div[id*="-"] > div > div[style*="z-index: 9999"][style*="width: 100vw; height: 100vh;"][style*="justify-content: center;"]

[8Ajgz]

No dice, it still popups up.

Weird. Does it prevent you to use the site?

[8Ajgz]

IT prevent's me from using the site if I keep my adblocker on unless I watch a sponsored ad. I have to wait 30 seconds. while the ad is supposed to play, even if it doesn't actually appear. Then I am free.

[Alex-302]

Could you please check these rules one by one? easybib.com#%#//scriptlet('adjust-setTimeout') easybib.com#%#//scriptlet('adjust-setInterval')

[8Ajgz]

Sorry for the delayed response. I tried both rules individually, no luck. The popup appears after filling out the form at the end of the following url, after navigating through the main homepage: https://www.easybib.com/mla8-format/website-citation/new

Well, in general we should not bypass popups like that. https://forum.adguard.com/index.php?threads/policy-on-adblock-walls.26022/
