ABP Blocked by BlockAdBlock

Post by NVF »

ABP is now being blocked here:

Code: Select all

www.livenewschat.eu/politics/
Would like to find a way around this.

If I posted in the wrong area I apologize.

Thanks.

Thank you very much. Really appreciate your time and help. Will use that forum for future sites/problems.

Edit: At a sister site the anti-adblock is bypassed using the code you linked me to but I seem to getting some ads now where I wasn't before. Any idea why that may be?

I've noticed that BlockAdBlock can be circumvented if you just block all scripts from "addthis.com" or just block it at the DNS level all together. I'm sure ABP could implement a block for this domain pretty easily.

check this link out for chrome

https://github.com/charliesome/BlockBlockAdBlock

download the javascript file, change the extension from .js to .user.js and drag it into the chrome extension page.

Chrome for Windows has long stopped allowing direct installation of UserScripts, and I think Chrome for Mac recently followed suit; instead, you'll need to add that UserScript to TamperMonkey.

The code you gave me there is no longer working. Was wondering if that's unusual and if a new code is needed. I asked the same question at the above link as well.

Thanks

Probably doing it wrong but I copied two scripts from that github page and got error messages when I tried to install them into TamperMonkey.

A .json file is a data file, not a script; the .js file lacked the header-comments necessary for TamperMonkey to understand it.

I went ahead and made a fork with some appropriate header-comments, and I sent in a PR in case the original creator (who turns out to be a GitHub employee) would like to use it: https://github.com/lewisje/BlockBlockAd ... adblock.js

If I don't get a response in long enough, or if he refuses my request, I'll probably set up a hook on GreasyFork and maintain my own BlockBlockAdBlock fork, possibly mocking out more of the BlockAdBlock API so other code will think this anti-Adblock script is actually installed.

Hello,

It looks like this fix has stopped working and they've done something to block adblock.

Can you please help/suggest what to add to the custom filter?

Thanks!
