Adblock Plus not Blocking on Yahoo Mail

Post by Lillian1961 »

On Yahoo Mail, I attempt to add a filter the way I always have on Adblock PLus. It acts like it's adding the filter, but the ad still just sits there and looks at me. Yet, Adblock Plus icon tells me it has blocked 120 ads. But those ads I just tried to turn off remain there defiantly.

I am running FIrefox 66.0.3 64 bit on Windows 7.

What gives?

Well, I went and se up an Imgur account so I could share a screenshot - and ABP started blocking the ads again!
Hopefully I won't have to come back to this issue again! But thank you!

It won't last. I have been having the same issue for around two weeks. As mentioned in a post that I also commented about a few posts down it seems to be mostly AdChoice. Not only do I see it on Yahoo, but also AOL and if I am correct on an ABC site (although I can't remember if that was AdChoice. I gave up and uninstalled ABP and had to use a different ad blocker.
