Gmail sponsored links/filter issue #304

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Please give a precise description of the problem and steps to reproduce it.
Google sponsored ads have been appearing in my inbox view since my installation 
of adthwart about a month ago.  Chrome update, filter updates, and attempt at 
custom filter had no effect.  Today I disabled the adthwart recommended filter 
list and the ads disappeared (Easylist was still enabled).  After re-enabling 
the Adthwart filter list, the ads are still gone.

At which URL is this problem observed?
https://gmail.com .... your inbox....

Which versions of AdThwart, Chrome and Windows/MacOS/Linux?
Chrome 7.0.517.44
Adthwart 1.0.13

Which filter lists are you subscribed to? Any custom filters?
Easy list and Adthwart recommended

In AdThwart Options, which "General" options are checked?
All

Please provide any additional information below.
The ads have not come back (yet).  I wanted to post this in case others have 
been seeing sponsored links in gmail.

Thanks for the report. Google recently changed their sponsored links, but 
AdThwart should now hide them. Looks to me like your filter lists weren't 
updating for some reason.

I had to add this filter manually to get rid of the Gmail ads:

mail.google.com##.mq

This rule is missing from the "AdThwart recommended filters" as of Dec 07 2010
