Have you followed the instructions in the devs' Reddit thread? (At the bottom of the thread, they also have a section of instructions for people who've already gone through the process of purging their filters before.)

Also, make sure nothing else (ex. another adblocker, including your browser's built-in adblocker) is causing issues.
