Exception list?

Was thinking about paying for and using Adblock for Safari, but can't find a way to allow ALL ads on this exception list:

https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/exceptionrules.txt

  • Would like to be able to block just the annoying popup DHTML ads and leave ALL other ads in place.
  • I do want to pay for the sites I visit! Whether the ads come from big or small companies, I don't care, as long as they aren't annoying popups that obscure text.
  • I don't want to manually go into adblock's options all the time to fiddle with it - just want to pay for Adblock-for-annoying-ads, set it, and forget it.

If this option is not possible, I may go back to emailing webmasters manually to ask them to get rid of annoying ads, as I have time to do so. Or maybe I'll just use the Reader option in Safari more.

    To add the exception list to AdBlock, you need to put it in the box at the
    bottom of the "Filter Lists" tab in the options page.
