Filters added by Remove It plugin are site specific, and are grouped by domain. e.g. filters added in "forum.maxthon.com" will be added under the group "maxthon.com" and will be effective only in the domain "maxthon.com". When browisng non "maxthon.com", filters specific to "maxthon.com" will be skipped. This can improve page loading speed and prevent filter errors. To view or edit filter, click "Edit Filters..."
