Daily Caller new static ads not blocked

Post by JCP »

Within the last week or so a new form of static ad that does not get blocked by ABP has appeared on the Daily Caller website. Here is an example link:

Code: Select all

http://dailycaller.com/2016/05/16/russell-wilsons-former-college-coach-said-he-wasnt-good-enough-to-play-in-the-nfl-video/
The ads get triggered when the slider on the right has been moved. If you right click to get the menu with the "block element" option, the ABP popup that offers to block does appear. But the pushbutton to activate the block does not work.

BTW, I am not sure I did what I was supposed to do with your script. I pasted it into the filter rules list/ Should O have done something else?

You have to add the filter above to your custom filters:

click ABP icon, options, "add your own filters" tab, add the filter

Right. That's what I did. No luck.

Disabled all extensions except ABP. Same ads still appear, and the "add" button on the "block element" still does not function when pressed.

The script is now working. As I had feared, I had not correctly added the script to my filter list. I had pressed the "select all" button by the script. But then I had right clicked and pressed the selection "copy link address." (I thought I was selecting to copy a link to the actual script, which I thought reside on this website.) So what I had been pasting into the filter list was the web address of this thread, not the script. So I just now tried again "select all" on the script, and I was able to paste the actual script into the filter list. Now all is well. Thanks!
