Regex Option for Advanced Users

FlashMall is a nasty site and AdBlock at times does miss them due to the changing HTML tags they randomly generate. That said it has a pattern. I would love to see a regex option for advanced users.

GREAT PRODUCT!

    Hi Jon,

    FlashMall ads are caused by malware, so we recommend following the instructions on The Safe Mac's Adware Removal Guide, running an antivirus/antimalware scan, and removing any browser extensions you don't remember installing.

    You can also find further instructions in our Knowledge Base.

    Also, I believe AdBlock does support regex-based blocking filters, although this would be of little use for hiding randomly generated HTML elements (regexes are not supported in hiding filters).
