Hi Guillaume,
Usually, the filter lists that AdBlock uses to determine what resources to block don't consider self-promotion like this to be ads that need to be blocked. All is not lost, however! If you're on a site that's refusing to show content if AdBlock is installed, please follow the instructions in this Knowledge Base article about websites detecting AdBlock and let us know how it goes!
A quick alternative (if you don't mind seeing ads, of course!) is just to disable AdBlock on that site. Click the AdBlock button and select Don't run on pages on this domain, and then click Exclude.

Rhana,
Thanks for the reply!
After almost a week the website now recognises that I've excluded its
domain from AdBlock. If you look at the screen shot I included, the AdBlock
icon is greyed out. For that week even if AdBlock was fully paused
Edmunds.com refused to let me view its content.
It seems that the concern has resolved itself for now.
Best,
Guillaume

Hi Guillaume,
My apologies, I completely missed that the AdBlock icon showed AdBlock was paused. Recently users have been encountering sites that fail to recognize that an ad blocker is use is in fact disabled. Eventually, the sites are fixed. That must be what happened here.
In any case, I'm glad all is well now! Please let us know if the issue returns. You can reopen this discussion at any time by replying to the email. :)
