add

rtl.nl##[data-adslot-variant]

to be included in the regional list: EasyDutch

report at EasyDutch repository: https://github.com/EasyDutch-uBO/EasyDutch/issues

@mapx- it looks like EasyDutch hasn't had an update in the last 3 months, maybe add this to uBo list for now?

[mapx-]

@Yuki2718 could you add the filter to EL ?

[Yuki2718]

@mapx- Even though reginal site? I'm sure the rest of members disagree. If ED stopped maintenance, we have to switch the list - maybe AG one. I can add if the rule is worth generic, but https://publicwww.com/websites/%22data-adslot-variant%22+depth%3Aall/ => 0 results.

I made a pull request in EasyDutch so hopefully someone will respond soon.

The Dutch list by AG is maintained actively so a switch might be logical.

[EchoDev]

@Yuki2718 @mapx-

Can we get an update on this? Still no response from EasyDutch maintainers, maybe consider switching to a new list in uBo since more and more Dutch sites are showing ads or breaking

[Yuki2718]

We will discuss internally.

[Yuki2718]

We replaced our Dutch list to AdGuard Dutch: gorhill/uBlock@f1f63c9

Good improvement. However, this change makes reading articles less pleasant. Because the right advertisement column completely disappears, the text shifts partially to the right. See screenshots.

With ads:

With this cosmetic filter:

I would like to suggest leaving the left advertisement column empty but still visible. This way, the reading experience is not ruined. Screenshot:

I couldn’t quite find if this is possible, but it should concern this piece of HTML:

<div data-adslot-variant="halfpage1" data-adslot-ready="false" data-adslot-error="true" data-adslot-duration="0ms" class="css-f4tggb"><div id="halfpage1"></div></div>

@ikheetjeff Fixed, update will be avail once the change make it into CDN and then distributed by next update process. Remember you can now directly report to https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/issues
