Suggested additions to default rules (myvirtualpaper.com, etc)

[anonymous]

As long as a 0.4.1 is on the way, you might add the following to the default rules. I have them in separate groups to distinguish them from the default groups but they could and probably should be folded into existing groups. myvirtualpaper is a third party site often used to serve up electronic versions of magazines.

[Group] name="Other Ads" score=75 rule=$url=~'\.nytimes\.com/(ads|adx)/' rule=$url=~'\.facebook\.com/ads'

[Group] name="Full Whitelist hosts" score=-75 rule=$url.host=~'(myvirtualpaper)\.com$'

To support Bing search (bing.com), make the following alterations:

[Group]
name="Full Whitelist hosts"
score=-75
rule=$url.host=~'(\.bing|\.dslr)\.net$'
rule=$url.host=~'(\.images\.live|myvirtualpaper|zip-codes)\.com$'

The additions are *.bing.net and *.images.live.com

Actually, I didn't mean to include zip-codes.com. It wouldn't hurt, but it is unlikely to matter to many users. So try this instead.

[Group]
name="Full Whitelist hosts"
score=-75
rule=$url.host=~'(\.bing|\.dslr)\.net$'
rule=$url.host=~'(\.images\.live|myvirtualpaper)\.com$'

Thank you all for your input. The default rules are there only as an example of what can be done. It's true that they can create problems with certain sites. I can't, however, add special exceptions for every site on the net -- there are far too many. What host-specific details there are only are included when they are services that are likely to effect many users, usually those that other sites use (like CDNs).
