filter issue:

"bad" filter

||s.yimg.com/zz/combo*pv/static/lib/abtr_*.js^$script,domain=search.yahoo.com

You can use this exception filter:

@@||s.yimg.com/zz/combo?pv/static/lib/srp-universal-header-*.js$script,domain=search.yahoo.com

It's not an ABP bug, so I'll close the issue as rejected

Who is responsible for the FIX [EasyList team or ABP], it's BREAKING page other than blocking ads.

This filter was created to block resources Yahoo uses to show ads. In this particular case Yahoo started mixing those resources with other ones which provide non-ad related functionality. By doing that they basically broke their own site.
