      Obviously I know there is not much on here but something is odd.

          My blocked list -- surprised that Vultr is blocked but aetherstore isn't blocked, yet they are both coming from mango's site.

              I just turned ublock off on mangolassi, i was surprised by all the stuff it was blocking. But I use it more for ads from ad networks, i'm not concerned about ads that they are hosting here.

                It seems like the last few versions of uBlock show an aggregate number of blocked ads on tabs that stay open a long time. At least that is my interpretation of those huge numbers on certain sites.

                  This seems to match my experience as well.

                    We were looking at this at MangoCon. Looks like some of the blockers are blocking things that are not shown or requested. So as an example, ML has more and more ads in the rotation (all are local JPGs or PNGs, nothing from an ad network) but as that list gets longer, the number blocked with each page refresh grows. It's because we push the list of all possible ads to the browser and let the browser determine which two to show (one on the side, one on the bottom) rather than letting the server side decide. It's a tiny amount of JS and the list is just a little text so we don't worry about the size. But with each additional one added, the list gets longer and the blockers block more stuff even though nothing more is being shown.

                      I wonder why first party ads are being blocked? Is uBlock Orgins blocking based on filename?

                          Has to be... either that or just image placement on screen.

                            filename (-728x90., -ad1, -160x600., /160x600_, -ad2., -160x600., -160x600-) -- all of those would be avoided by randomizing the file name.

                                    well i guess pasting the url of an ad just shows the ad, I removed the domain portion.

                                    ml/grovesocial_bottom_banner_1_600.png

                                    1_600. is not one of the ad rules

                                      So just having a number in it breaks their logic?

                                        no, you're breaking the blocking by using a number not in their list. but, if it sees a string it doesn't like anywhere in the filename or path, it appears that it's killing it.

                                          For example,

                                          https://mangolassi.it/uploads/files/ml/do-ssd-virtual-servers-banner-160x600.jpg

                                          This is blocked from loading an image. But if you change the name to *do-ssd-virtual-servers-banner-16000x60000.jpg it will probably work, because the string 160x600 isn't in there anymore.

                                            So it is blocking images with a specific size notation in them? That's crazy.
