The Telegraph won't browse because it detects Ad-Blocker present even if Ad-Blocker is set to not run for this site and even if Ad-Blocker is paused. How can I browse the U.K. Telegraph?

    Hi Gary,

    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!

    Hi Gary,

    Thank you. I'm definitely seeing this too, which means it's a filter list issue rather than something going on in your installation of AdBlock.

    We don't maintain the filter lists. Please report this to the folks who maintain EasyList. (Click the New Topic button on the Report unblocked content page.) That way it can be fixed for everybody. :)

    Thanks! Please let us know if you don't hear back from them within a few days.

    Rhana,

    I tried, but I couldn’t submit. They called me a spammer.

    Thanks,

    Gary

    Hi Gary,

    No worries, they do that a lot for some reason. I'll submit the report for you. We should hear something within a few days. Stay tuned. :)

    Hi Gary,

    I heard back from the folks at EasyList today. They suggested the following filter, which is working for me:

    ||optimizely.com^$third-party

    Please add that to the Custom Filters in AdBlock's options and let me know if it works for you as well.
