Java based ad bypassing AdBlock

Post by hms1160 »

Here's a screenshot of a java based ad on prowrestling.wikia.com that bypasses AdBlock and takes up the whole page.

It's Javascript: Java has been unavailable in Chrome for months.

Also, it doesn't look like an ad but rather some other type of annoyance; what filter-lists are you subscribed to?
There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.

Looks like I only have Adblock Warning Removal List and Easy List currently. Is there another list I could subscribe to that would do away with the above annoyance?

If I visit the main page of that site I get no such annoyance.
Which are the steps to get that crap ?

I noticed that too, that it wouldn't come up on the main page. It would happen on specific wikia pages (i.e., a wikia page for a certain TV show, video game or what have you). Then they switched over to a text based box to the side that begged people to turn off their ad blockers. Now they don't even have any such thing. I guess too many people complained. Anywho, looks like we can close this thread for now.
