With adblock, you can use "*" as a wildcard. So, I want to block some add? I
right-click the offending add and sélect block... In the dialog that show up, I
replace most of the string by a single *. Hit the return key and close. Voilà, I
see about 12+ ads disapear at once :) And if I encounter add by that server
anywhere else, they to, are blocked.
Some of the blocking strings are: "*doubleclick*", "*adbrite*", "*adserve*",...
or something like "<some site URL>/banner/*" if I want to remove the banners but
not the rest of the content.
