That bug has been described on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/epiphany-extensions/+bug/31171 "(dapper, updated as of February 11) I suppose it is a website bug, but annoying nevertheless So far I have found one page: http://www.gazeta.pl (biggest Polish newspaper, primary source of on-line information in Poland, i.e. - significant for a lot of users). If this problem repeats for other sites, it makes ad blocker quite useless. If I find more examples, I'll comment on this bug. Firefox with addblock and filter.g works properly for the same site. ... >> Thanks for your bug report. Could you try with version 1.9.7 (released today) ... 1. I upgraded dapper epiphany to 1.9.7 (as of February 15th) and compiled epiphany-extensions from dapper sources (1.9.7). It didn't change anything. ... > What happens exactly on that website ... http://librarian.launchpad.net/1574435/adblock_enabled.png more than a thousand words http://librarian.launchpad.net/1574436/adblock_disabled.png more than a thousand words http://librarian.launchpad.net/1574437/misplaced_flash-adblock_disabled.png It's flash 7.0.61. (the same is without flash - "download plugin" banner is misplaced)"
I guess the filter list we ship is totally outdated. Does it still happen when the list in /usr/share/epiphany-extensions/adblock-patterns (not sure about the patch) is updated with the latest on from http://www.pierceive.com/ ?
Just run epiphany-extensions/extensions/adblock/download-latest.pl to get the latest list. Actually, that file is out of date and points to an inexistent URI. It must be corrected.
It appears that gazeta.pl is linked with a css file named hp2_ad.css - the important keyword is ad - blocked by adblock extension. Looking at FF's adblock extension, it seems that it doesn't block css links in any way. Solutions: - upgrade your epiphany to the CVS one: it doesn't block css anymore, - add hp2_ad.css to ~/.gnome2/epiphany/extensions/data/adblock/whitelist Hope it helps.
Should the bug marked as fixed?
Yes, fixed.
