No ADS from Harvard…

Ooops. Harvard’s Astrophysics Data System server, a huge public repository of astronomy and space flight papers and books, blocked because… it has ‘ads’ in the URL? Does ad-blocking get more block-headed than this? Thankfully, I see it’s now possible to tell uBlock to ignore the rule, which didn’t used to be possible.

Update: The Peter Lowe list is obviously now worthless, due to its scattergun blocking of all sorts of legitimate things. I’ve since found all sorts of similar blocks on things that should not be blocked. I’ve unsubscribed my Ad-blocker from the Peter Lowe list and suggest you do so as well.
