I also found other news sites that have the same detection message but it doesn't cover the whole page:

Is this an annoyance? I see in the annoyance list there is

idahopress.com##.tnc-overlay.tncms-block
idahopress.com###blox-message-incompatible

that is the same detection as the news sites in the list.

It's an annoyance since its a soft anti-adblock.

@mapx- maybe it should be written in the readme that soft and dismissable anti-adblock are fixed on ublock-annoyances?

liamengland1 commented 10 months ago

There are at least 500 local news sites across the U.S. using Blox CMS with these baits. They can all be fixed by allowing the bait scripts like so

@@||townnews.com^*/tncms/*/ads/*/tnt.ads.advertisements.$script
@@||townnews.com^*/tncms/*/ads/*/tnt.ads.adverts.$script

D4niloMR commented 10 months ago

I need only @@||townnews.com^*/tncms/*/ads/*/tnt.ads.adverts.$script here
