Looks like doubleclick.net and googleadservices.com got added to the Advertising category and make the web pretty unusable. The description of the Advertising category says it will block popups. It's blocking so much that I will have to disable the Advertising category, but I don't really want to. Here is my blocked stats for today. They look weird because category is missing actually.

  Having the same issue. I hadn't noticed (ublock) but it was brought to my attention today.  I'd rather not unblock the entire Advertising category to fix this.  Hoping this is a temporary "oopsie".

  Hello,

  Have you tried adding doubleclick.net and googleadservices.com to your Never Block list

  I have the same issue with advertising and other categories.

  I believe the problem is this: At some point in the last couple of weeks it appears OpenDNS started using Talos filters, but the OpenDNS categories and Talos categories differ in many cases.

  I opened a ticket on this but I can't seem to convince support. Someone please ask support to look deeper into this issue.  

  It's causing issues with several sites on my end. I'm about to give up and try another service.
