google.com (Google Shopping Ads) #10132
Comments
Google Shopping page itself is an ad entirely, blocking it will break the intended purpose of the page. |
I argue that the part in the screenshot that is not highlighted in red are not ads. If the products I did not highlight with a red rectangle are also advertisements, how would they fit the EasyList policy? (Relevant parts in bold)

They all pass through That page is cosmetically exempted in uBO and in EasyList too. Same for Bing's shopping page. |
How is this any different from blocking Amazon Sponsored Ads, for example? buyers click on those links to buy products via amazon and blocking anything on that page is blocking functionality for that page. I do understand your opinion, however. Thank you for maintaining the uBO filter lists. |
I don't see any reports of users trying to click on those links(to buy anything if thats even possible, as Amazon doesn't have a "shopping" place like Google does) and failing to do so.

Ask EasyList about this, I don't think they can be compared with Google. Google doesn't sell anything, neither search gets broken on Amazon with that filter unlike on Google Shopping. |
So the difficulty is getting a filter that doesn't break things? |
Yeah, the breakage is pretty bad. |
Amazon's products and amazon's product ads are distinguishable, unlike Google/Bing shopping pages. |

It looks like Adguard added that filter to Adguard Base here AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters@8b60528 |
Did you test it on the google shopping page ? |
Yes, and there's no breakage. |
Apparently, that one works for Firefox only? |
Google must have changed the layout, not working anymore. |
