Investopedia ads

Post by Reporter »

Okay this is the weirdest thing ever, the element blocker is being blocked by a transparent layer that is suddenly generated when you are trying to block the element
the layer was triggered after first block attempt, the removed ad reveled several ads layered on top of each other, and made entire mage very laggy

Code: Select all

I cannot reproduce your issue

Are you using the acceptable ads ?

Could you try the last dev build ?

(disable the stable ABP, but first copy / paste your custom filters in the new ABP dev)

Investopedia ads are still appearing, very annoying.... It seems there's a javascript with built-in delay that's making ads popup after the site has already loaded.

you can try:

Code: Select all

@@/^((?!oclasrv.com|criteo|contextweb.com|adnxs|adform|google-analytics|gumgum.com|insticator.com|newrelic.com|doubleclick.net|servebom|googlesyndication.com|cloudfront.net|casalemedia.com).)*$/$script,xmlhttprequest,third-party,domain=investopedia.com
but you'll still see placeholders, some adv text. There are some exceptions in easylist which cannot be overriden and ABP has no weapons to override them.

If you want to see ..no ad on these kind of sites (which are using sophisticated methods injecting ads), just install uBo (ublock origin)
