Ad blocking and the Gawker Family of sites Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Still looks rubbish for me!! Everything's just stacked up - doesn't look like the layout sheet's being applied...I'll have a play with Ad Blocking a bit more and see if I can come up with anything else clever (!).

Same for me. I just hopped back on board for a bit to check out the beta. I love OW, but usually end up going back to Safari for its .Mac synchronization.
 
I generalized it slightly more and it should work now. You could go even further and just place "gawker\.com" in your white list since they don't appear to host any ads on that server just desired content.

Nope!! Still the same... tried with lifehacker.com in the list as well just in case...but no luck.

Edit: But definitely an adblock problem (if I turn it all off then it works...) I'll have another go.

Edit again: Adding lifehacker\.com to the list made it work for me, as well as a similarly general Gawker one. Thanks!

Edit: NO it didn't!! Even with all the above in the whitelist it doesn't work (I forgot to refresh before).

OK, After my crazy progression of ideas above, I've made it work (and it's simple). Add '.css' to the whitelist. Don't know what implications this could have for adblocking, but all it ought to do is unblock any CSS sheets...?
 
It should load most stylesheets but may let things that aren't stylesheets through. I'm not sure why the above options aren't working for you. (they should).

It must have been a fluke for me. I went back to a site (Lifehacker in this case) and it loaded fine. Go figure :P
