while I also block these personally in my browser, I don't think they are "ads", they are not trying to send you to other sites. In the past we've avoided adding such rules to the main greek adblock list.
We could maybe create a new "annoyances" list that includes such rules
Hmmm, I see your point about not sending you to another site but they are ads since they affect the sorting and are paid to be there. In my mind they are the same as the google ads in the search results.
If you feel strongly about not including it here though, an "annoyances" list can work.
I also agree. Those are paid ads, same as the "promoted"m results in any search engine. You find the exact same products below in lower prices, so I works kind of "against" the end user. I agree in adding it either in the main list, or in an extra "annoyances" list as you said.
also I think it has changed to:
##.labeled-product.labeled-item.card.cf
I don't think they are "ads", they are not trying to send you to other sites.
I will respectfully disagree. Certain businesses pay to get their own listing higher up in the results list. These listings are relevant to the search results, yes, but they are still ads.
Skroutz itself promotes these sort of listings as ads. See their advertising options document, p. 2 and 7 https://www.skroutz.gr/media/Skroutz-Advertising-Options-2021-eng.pdf
Other advertisers recognize sponsored listings as ads as well. See for example: https://www.kevel.com/blog/sponsored-listings/ https://koddi.com/an-introduction-to-sponsored-listings/
We could maybe create a new "annoyances" list that includes such rules
That might be useful, indeed
I don't think it's a debate. They would not be exactly ads only if you can't see those products again in the list. They are duplicated right there in the list right below them so they have 0 reason other than to be ads.
It might need an extra filter, possibly because of login vs non-login.

There's a lot of interest for this PR. I've reconsidered and I decided to approve the changes. I'm using the suggestion from @epigramx to replace the original PR contents that @glogiotatidis had provided and it seems not to work any more.
Thank you all for your comments and patience
