Hi,

I'm running Safari 6.0.5 on OS X 10.8.5, with AdBlock 2.6.4 installed, and in Options > Filter lists an error shows up next to the Easylist saying "Failed to fetch this filter!". I can confirm that I can access the the list (https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist.txt) manually in a separate window.

    Can you try manually updating using the "Update Now" button?

    Thanks for your quick reply.

    I did attempt to manually update before sending this issue, however I've
    just reopened the options menu and it actually shows that it has been
    updated now. I was looking through the options due to an issue of YouTube
    playing ads before the videos in playlists, when autoplayed in fullscreen.
