On this page, you can test two features of the ad blocker:

http://simple-adblock.com/faq/testing-your-adblocker/

And, using Epiphany, "element hiding" doesn't work while it works on Firefox.

I guess that explains why some videos with advertisements never start playing, but I'm not sure it's related...

Adrian, do we get this automatically when we switch to ContentExtensions, or will this be additional work?

Yes, using ContentExtensions content hiding can be done. You can check

(and very interesting) explanation.
