      Hello,

      pfblockerNG blocks ads, but instead of showing nothing, it always shows like the attached pic.

      Is there perhaps a way to show a non-annoying 1x1 white pixel which is so small you don't actually see it?

      Thank you,

        That's your browser's default output when it has to display something it can't fetch. Squidguard does this and I can see it being a useful feature for pfB too. Maybe @BBcan177 has it on his to-do list?

          Thank you.

          Isn't there supposed to be a default 1x1 pixel? For example per this thread:

            I'm not a web guy these days, but it's only blocking domains so I would think that any constructs the page is supposed to render, like frames and containers, will still be there. I suspect that it only works for static images and other simple content.
