Wait, you're saying that a false positive in an ad blocker is _not_ an issue with the ad blocker? Of course it is! Blocking files based solely on their names is a brittle and error-prone way of doing things, and this false positive is a clear example of that.

For sure it's a false positive and I wish it didn't happen. But it does happen and there's no way I'm ditching my ad blocker just because of some small number of false positives.
