WIKI FOUND A WAY TO DRIBBLE ADBLOCK

Post by Mabg »

Hi, I'm from Brazil. For me adblock has worked satisfactorily on all browsers.

However, WIKI has found a way to dribble Adblock and continue to display ads in a field located higher naming and in another field located to the right margin of the pages.

Even when I select the option to "block an ad on the page" or "report an ad," whenever I reload the page or click on a link in it to access an article about the topic I'm searching for, the ads reappear.

I do not have this problem on any other website. This only happens when I access Wiki pages, which I consult very often to search for movies and TV series. :cry:

Do you mean Wikipedia (where the self-promotional stuff is explicitly not blocked in EasyList) or Wikia (which runs ordinary ads that should be blocked in EasyList)?
There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.

Administrators, please see how Wikia is neutralizing Adblock in the source code of the page:

Very grateful to you for the filters! :)

I did not send spam. I have never even accessed the Adblock forum before I checked that Wikia has added lines of code to the site program to bypass Adblock. Seeing that Wikia took this attitude made me feel very offended. After all the Wikia database is fed by users free of charge. And compelling these users to see ads against their manifest desire, since we are using Adblock, it is a great violence.

I meant you posted the same message (asking help) in 3 different threads.
