[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 92963, post: 967659"] [USER=80838]@Jan Willy[/USER] By disabling cosmetic rules in uBO you disable the cosmetic modifiers which are imported and applied by the blacklists you have enabled. You don't disable the CSS-formatting of the websites themselves. An allow can be overruled with the IMPORTANT option in a rule, so for security it is less effective than disabling cosmetic filtering. Because I always have disabled cosmetic filtering globally and enabled it on a handful websites to removed a few white space banners (with the element picker) and one looping GIF (by blocking the link source of the blob), I have no idea which cosmetic filters are still applied when globally allowing style sheets. For my education could you explain what you have achieved by "other kinds of cosmetic filtering remain intact ([B]which style elements are still hidden[/B])" ? Regards Kees [/QUOTE]
