Do We See the Same Colors as Others? Brains Respond to Same Hues in Similar Ways (smithsonianmag.com)

With EasyList in the news for breaking YouTube view counts I think that it's a good time to post my list of ways that I've personally seen EasyList break other sites. I think many people here who use ad blockers are not aware of how ridiculous many of the rules in EasyList are and how unwilling the authors are to fix it:

- https://forums.lanik.us/viewtopic.php?t=48142-supermicro-ipmi - Blocking anything called eventlog.js because a website they didn't like must have used that name once.

- https://forums.lanik.us/viewtopic.php?t=48173-300x250 - Blocking a few hundred variants of NNNxNNN because some ads happen to have that in their file name, nevermind that this also blocks probably millions of not-ad images that also happen to put their resolution in their file name.

- https://forums.lanik.us/viewtopic.php?t=48478-go-oracle-com - Blocking Oracle's link redirection domain just because I guess.

- https://forums.lanik.us/viewtopic.php?t=48491-belong-curtin-edu-au - Blocking a university's outreach program page because they dared to use an Oracle service.

- Blocking anything called `disclaim_bar`, `disclaimer-box`, `disclaimerBox`, `disclaimerC`, or `disclaimerDialog_modal`, which as you might imagine blocks all sorts of important warnings on websites.
