I am becoming to doubt the value of adblock and the mindset of filter maintainers these days.
It cause a lot of issues on their side but the customer blame the server.
I've heard a story that web-based game not working for some people for no apparent reason.
The developer used their psychic power and change the file name of image files which was something like "foo_ads_bar.png"(the user supplied error log indicated they faild to fetch that resources which shouldn't happen) to not contains the "ads". And he got less bug report.
The image file was not AD but a essential resource for the web-based game. Blocking that, you break the game implementation.
Blanket blocking based on partial three-letter string match on client side? Fine do what you want. It's your computer after all. But don't come toward us crying for help because it's non of our problem.
