Adblock Plus allows you to customize on-page actions depending on the page you're viewing. Follow the steps below if you blocked an element and want to view it, add an exception rule, remove a rule that you previously set, or unblock the element. The resource page also identifies the rules being used on a page and which filter list contains the rule.
The resource page is only available in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera. More advanced custom filter writing tutorials can be found here: How to write filters.
Important: Before using the steps below, go to the Advanced tab in ABP's Options and enable the option Show 'Adblock Plus' panel in developer tools.
