Did you try disabling flash (and using html5) ?

i disabled flash and i get the message that i must install flash to watch this video ..
i know that that focus, prosieben, ntv (German Websites)... and many other sites have some strong protection against Adblock Plus.
i just can't get rid of these ads. :twisted:
mapx, any other idea :) thanks!

I'm using FlashDisable to switch quickly from flash enabled to flash disabled, and it seems to work here ...

for example this video: http://www.focus.de/magazin/videos/focu ... 89501.html
