AdBlock EasyList problem with the Snap Shots FireFox extension

I found a incompatibility between the EasyList filter subscription for AdBlock Plus and the Snap Shots extension. After some email's going back and forth with the CR department of Snap Shots and the maintainers of EasyList, I finally got a workaround:
Wladimir forwarded this to me. I have *.snap.com/* blocked in my easylist.

If you want to whitelist the Snap site, add:
@@|http://*.snap.com/

To allow Snap to work on other sites, disable:
.snap.com/$script
... in the easylist.

These should do it.

The result:



So for those of you that want to use both, this is a solution. For me Snap Shots is a little too slow to use with google searches, and I rather use the middle mouse button since it's not keeping me stuck while the other page loads. But it's great for forums and other sites where the links don't come with a minimal description.

My thanks to Rich.
