Adreclaim on vidmax.com

Post by clanderson »

Hey guys, I'm trying to get around these adreclaim ads on vidmax.com. Many are super vulgar.

I've tried everything I can think of - could you guys lend some help?

Out of curiosity and so I don't have to bug you again - how did you determine which domain/URL to block?

- use "blockable items list" in firefox (ABP) or chrome see forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=43791 )

- the page itself could host inline scripts (which is able to create popups, other crap)
