Advertisers' and tracking companies' websites
- Problem:
Some websites relating to advertisers and tracking companies (predominantly the former) do not function correctly when EasyList or EasyPrivacy are enabled respectively.
- Affects:
Other domains are also likely to be affected and will be listed as they are reported.
- Cause:
EasyList is intended to remove adverts, just as EasyPrivacy is intended to remove tracking. The subscriptions often include general rules to remove the unwanted content and also selectively block domains that exclusively serve such items. However, as these filters are often and unsurprisingly activated by websites belonging to advertisers and tracking companies, some parts of the domain may fail to function correctly.
- Solution:
Subscription policy is that it is not worthwhile to resolve issues on domains belonging to advertisers and tracking companies, beyond requiring that filters blocking an entire domain only apply on third-party websites, as we believe that very few users regularly visit such websites. However, it is possible to disable Adblock Plus on the affected website using the option in the menu activated by clicking on the icon in the browser.

Argh, this took me two weeks contacting google and having a whole team working this issue out that adblock does not work with adsense. It's far more important that you see valid content than ads in my beliefs. Better 1 ad and valid content than 0 ads and no content. Too agressive.
