14 <p>{{s6 The most trivial filter you can define is of course the address of ban
ner you want to block. However, often this address changes every time you open a
page. For example it could be <code><fix>http://example.com/ads/banner123.gif</
fix></code> where 123 is a random number. Here blocking the complete address won
't help you, you need a more general filter — like <code><fix>http://example.com
/ads/banner*.gif</fix></code>. Or maybe even <code><fix>http://example.com/ads/*
</fix></code>.}}</p> | 14 <p>{{s6 The most trivial filter you can define is of course the address of ban

22 <p>{{s10 That's what exception rules are good for — they allow you to define c
ases where filters shouldn't be applied. For example if you are unhappy with you
r filter <code><fix>adv</fix></code> blocking <code><fix>http://example.com/advi
ce.html</fix></code>, you can define an exception rule <code><fix>@@advice</fix>
</code>. Exception rules are no different from filter rules, you can use wildcar
ds or regular expressions. You only have to precede them by <code><fix>@@</fix><
/code> to indicate an exception rule.}}</p> | 22 <p>{{s10 That's what exception rules are good for — they allow you to define c

24 <p>{{s11 Exception rules can do more. If an exception rule starts with http://
or https:// (optionally with a pipe before it) it will make whole pages an exce
ption. For example, if your exception rule is <code><fix>@@|http://example.com</
fix></code> and you open some page from example.com — Adblock Plus will be entir
ely disabled on this page and nothing will be blocked.}}</p> | 24 <p>{{s11 Exception rules can do more. If an exception rule starts with http://

28 <p>{{s13 Usually Adblock Plus treats every filter as if it had a wildcard at i
ts beginning and end, e.g. there is not difference between the filters <code><fi
x>ad</fix></code> and <code><fix>*ad*</fix></code>. While this is usually unprob
lematic, sometimes you wish that the filter you defined only matches at the begi
nning or end of an address. For example you might want to block all Flash, but i
f you add the filter <code><fix>swf</fix></code> the address <code><fix>http://e
xample.com/swf/index.html</fix></code> will also be blocked.}}</p> | 28 <p>{{s13 Usually Adblock Plus treats every filter as if it had a wildcard at i

30 <p>{{s14 Solution to this problem: add a pipe symbol to the filter to show tha
t there should be definitely the end of the address at this point. For example t

annoyingflash.swf</fix></code> but not <code><fix>http://example.com/swf/index.h
