Ads Getting Through on Extratorrent.cc

[toukie]

Hello,

Just recently I have been receiving a new tab opening up with a pop whenever I click on a torrent in extratorrent.cc. I use MalwareBytes to double check if I have malware and my antivirus scanner and nothing popped up. I haven't really downloaded or done anything differently that could have changed any settings. I am running on Firefox 47.0 and my ABP version is 2.7.3. I was fumbling with the options a bit and under filter preferences recently unchecked the allow some non-intrusive advertising. Since I did that the ads still pop up on a new tab but immediately closes by itself. Not sure if that did anything or what's going on. Any advice?

add

Code: Select all

||104.198.198.188$popup

No popups here, after 10mins of random browsing.

They must of changed their Ad Server, because I was getting hammered with ads from the IP 104.198.147.108.

Add this to the ExtraTorrent filter also:

Code: Select all

||104.198.147.108$popup

Now Adblock Plus instantly closes the Ads as soon as they open.

Hi guys, I think I've found a future proof fix for any popups on extratorrent.

Code: Select all

*.*.*.*^$popup,third-party,domain=extratorrent.cc

this should help

BRILLIANT slinx. Absolutely brilliant

The ads pop up and get blocked automatically

Any way to make them not pop up at all?

Thanks for your future proof solution

block all popups

Code: Select all

*$popup,third-party,domain=extratorrent.cc

not pop up at all?

if they are generated using inline scripts there is nopthing to do for ABP, just use the filter above (and ABP will close them)

[louwin]

There are LOTS of them so I can't say for sure.... I imagine they are scripts (they appear coded?)

Compared with what I had to do before - click link - kill popup, click link - kill popup

the block all popups solution is fabulous. I can live with the brief popup before the block....

Thanks

The latest popups have javascript execution in the address when clicked anywhere on the page (link or just blank spot):

Code: Select all

javascript:window.opener=null;setTimeout(function(){window.location.href='http://example.com/blah'},250)

Tried add filter it doesn't work

Code: Select all

javascript:*^$popup

unfortunately the devs are not addressing this issue:
https://issues.adblockplus.org/ticket/4800

I suppose - as firefox will use the new web extensions system - the devs are not interested anymore fixing issues in the old system and will adapt ABP for chrome for firefox ..

Does it block on chrome?

in chrome is seen as about:blank popup as I remember and can be blocked, however you should test it
