    As far as “this no longer works”-ing, this filter is part of “EasyList” Adblock Plus subsription ( http://easylist.adblockplus.org/easylist.txt ).

    EasyList filters were created by rick752, r.i.p. & are now maintained by by Ares2! They’ve got a forum and everything… Also a big part of the filtering is the Adblock Plus Element Hiding Helper ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4364 ). Both, all lists are automatic & basically just having those two and automatically updated is all you need. No (real) user intervention is needed!..:)

    There are 2 main & 3 auxiliary filters that I personally use, all accessible from their homepage ( http://easylist.adblockplus.org/ ):

    EasyList, The main ad-blocker subscription (necessary)
    Add to ABP
    EasyPrivacy, Additional tracking & privacy invasion blocker
    Add to ABP

    Adult/Dating (by Fanboy), For blocking adult and dating ads

    Rickroll Blacklist (by Jamie Wilkinson), If you need to ask, you don’t need it

    (Just search Google 4 “rickroll” & also Wiki has it..:))

    ps.
    The filter is:

    .snap.com/$script
