@salim-b Which "ad containers"? Can you explain better where it should be needed? (A screenshot would be great!)

Which "ad containers"? Can you explain better where it should be needed? (A screenshot would be great!)

All boxes with the small caption "Anzeige" and grey background in between actual articles.

A screenshot would be great!

Here's one including the first two ad containers highlighted by uBlock Origin's element picker using the filter rule of this PR:

Ok, I see. I don't think these links should be blocked then, because are considered as self-promotion, as per EasyList Germany policy. Sorry

I don't think these links should be blocked then, because are considered as self-promotion, as per EasyList Germany policy.

I don't want to be a dick, but I think some of them actually are. The first highlighted box above links to a post on the heise microsite „Die Zukunft der Arbeit“. In the footer of that site it says:

Diese Microsite „Die Zukunft der Arbeit“ wird betrieben von Heise Medien GmbH & Co. KG in Zusammenarbeit mit MBmedien Group GmbH mit freundlicher Unterstützung durch Dell Technologies, Microsoft und NVIDIA..

The current EasyList rules seem to define self-promo as

Self-promotion is any type of advertising that promotes goods or services that are owned or operated by the domain owner and doesn’t get commercially compensated for by third parties (examples can include new features, new posts, newsletters, subscriptions to printed media products, merchandise etc.)

The second highlighted box above OTOH would actually fall into that self-promo category. And it would probably be very difficult (or even impossible) to only block the first but not the second box via simple content blocker filter rules.

tl;dr: Would the filter rule of this PR meet the acceptance criteria for Fanboy's Annoyance List?

@salim-b Don't worry, you're not a "dick". Actually you've raised a good point here, and I think this filter can help to block these links. (The links towards to "heise+" cannot be blocked)
