    OK., this is my maybe complicated or wrong way to whitelist one speficic side.

    If a side doesn’t open, because of the advert-block script, it will allways show me something like
    eg
    “Unable to connect
    Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at http://www.googleadservices.com.”

    Then I know it’s googleadservices.com

    Opening geany with gksudo geany and using the search function, search in files
    Search for: googleadservices.com
    Folder : /etc
    Clicking on search
    Down in geany under notifications there are here now 4 rows which contain googleadservices.com
    If you click on each of them the host file will be shown in geany with yellow arrow for the line you are seeking, and you can comment them out with #
    Close and save.

    After reopening the browser I can open the side. This at least works here until I don’t use any additional blocker.
