<p>I'm having trouble following your instructions. How exactly are
you blocking an element? With AdBlock running, there shouldn't be
any ads to block manually. With AdBlock paused entirely, are you
still seeing the menu option "Block an ad on this page"?</p>
<p>Also, can you please provide a link to a page where this is
happening?</p>

<blockquote>

<p>I am right-clicking on the element and selecting "Block this
ad"<br>
But this issue also occurs with "Block an ad on this page"</p>
<blockquote>
<p>With AdBlock running, there shouldn't be any ads to block

</blockquote>
<p>I'm not sure this is particularly relevant, but:<br>
I think you've overly optimistic about the coverage of AdBlock.<br>
Perhaps you mainly use sites in the US? Coverage in other countries
is not that great.<br>
Regardless, I may choose to block elements that I find annoying,
regardless of whether others think they're "ads".</p>
<blockquote>
<p>With AdBlock paused entirely, are you still seeing the menu
option "Block an ad on this page"?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I don't pause AdBlock at any point in my instructions.<br>
But to answer your question, no, those menu items disappear when
AdBlock is paused.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Also, can you please provide a link to a page where this is

</blockquote>
<p>One of the issues I'm having happens on many pages.<br>
The other has only happened on a few sites, and I can't seem to
reproduce it.</p>
<p>The general issue is that the "Undo my blocks on this domain"
right-click menu item doesn't do anything:</p>
<p>Let's assume I dislike the Google logo on <a href="https://google.com/">https://google.com/</a> <a href="https://google.com/">https://google.com/</a> and block it using
AdBlock:</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to <a href="https://google.com/">https://google.com/</a>
<a href="https://google.com/">https://google.com/</a><br></li>
<li>Right-click on the Google logo and choose "Block this
ad"<br></li>
<li>Choose the "IMG" tag as the blocked element and click "Looks
good"<br></li>
<li>The defaults are ok here<br></li>
<li>Choose "Block it"</li>
</ol>
<p>Now the Google logo is gone, as I would expect.</p>
<p>But I change my mind, and want it back:</p>
<ol>
<li>Right-click anywhere on the page.<br></li>
<li>Select "Undo my blocks on this domain" (does your version of
AdBlock have this feature?)</li>
</ol>
<p>Nothing happens. Even when the page is refreshed. This is not
working as I expect.<br>
I expect the Google logo to come back.</p>
<p>So I try a different method:</p>
<ol>
<li>Click the AdBlock button in the Safari toolbar<br></li>
<li>Select "Undo my blocks on this domain"<br></li>
<li>Answer "Yes" to the "Are you sure" dialog (maybe this dialog is
why the menu item doesn't work)</li>
</ol>
<p>I now see the Google logo again.<br>
So using the AdBlock toolbar button works as expected on some
sites, but not on others.</p>
<p>The specific issue is that the "Undo my blocks on this domain"
toolbar button menu item doesn't work as expected. But,
unfortunately, I can't reproduce the issue now, so it's hard for me
to work out exactly what caused it.</p>
<p>Here's what happens every time:</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to <a href="https://swarmsim.github.io/">https://swarmsim.github.io/</a>
<a href="https://swarmsim.github.io/">https://swarmsim.github.io/</a><br></li>
<li>Right-click on "NN larvae" (I actually block a different tab
that doesn't appear early in the game, but that shouldn't
matter)<br></li>
<li>Choose the "A" tag as the blocked element and click "Looks
good"<br>
Before you click "Looks Good", the complete blocked tag should
read:<br>
<a class="ng-binding" href="#/tab/larva"><br></a></li>
<li><a class="ng-binding" href="#/tab/larva">Select "href will be
#/tab/larva" (I wonder if the # is messing with
AdBlock?)<br></a></li>
<li><a class="ng-binding" href="#/tab/larva">Choose "Block
it"</a></li>
</ol>
<p><a class="ng-binding" href="#/tab/larva">Now, when I refresh the
page, the larvae tab is gone, as I would expect.</a></p>
<p><a class="ng-binding" href="#/tab/larva">But I change my mind,
and want it back:</a></p>
<ol>
<li><a class="ng-binding" href="#/tab/larva">Right-click anywhere
on the page.<br></a></li>
<li><a class="ng-binding" href="#/tab/larva">Select "Undo my blocks
on this domain" (does your version of AdBlock have this
feature?)</a></li>
</ol>
<p><a class="ng-binding" href="#/tab/larva">Nothing happens. Even
when the page is refreshed. This is not working as I expect.<br>
I expect the larvae tab to come back.</a></p>
<p><a class="ng-binding" href="#/tab/larva">So I try a different
method:</a></p>
<ol>
<li><a class="ng-binding" href="#/tab/larva">Click the AdBlock
button in the Safari toolbar<br></a></li>
<li><a class="ng-binding" href="#/tab/larva">Select "Undo my blocks

<li><a class="ng-binding" href="#/tab/larva">Answer "Yes" to the
"Are you sure" dialog (maybe this dialog is why the menu item
doesn't work)</a></li>
</ol>
<p><a class="ng-binding" href="#/tab/larva">Here's the result I
can't reproduce:</a></p>
<p><a class="ng-binding" href="#/tab/larva">Instead of undoing the
blocks, AdBlock adds them to the disabled filters list instead.<br>
This means that I can't ever block those particular tabs again.<br>
I'm not sure how the filters got switched around this way, but
clearing the disabled filters list fixed it.</a></p>
<p><a class="ng-binding" href="#/tab/larva">It had happened to
another site as well, at some point in the past - I had blocked a
large image that http://thedailywtf.com</a> <a href="http://thedailywtf.com/">http://thedailywtf.com/</a> had embedded
from wikimedia commons. But I can't find the exact image or
filter.</p></div>Tim Wilson-Browntag:old-support.getadblock.com,2013-08-06:Comment/371204582015-06-14T17:26:02Z2015-06-14T17:26:02ZUndo's use of the disable list overrides any attempt to re-enable blocks<div><p>Hi Tim,</p>
<p>I've been able to confirm, that "Undo my blocks on this domain"
from context menu doesn't work as it should. However, when I click
on AdBlock toolbar button and choose "Undo my blocks on this
domain" there, it does work.</p>
<p>I am not able to confirm, that the chosen filter from ad-wizard
goes to disabled filters, it works as it should (filter gets added
to the custom filters).</p>
<p>Can you please click the <strong>AdBlock button</strong>, select
<strong>Options</strong>, then click <strong>SUPPORT</strong>. Next
