Are you using some other blocking extension ? or some security software with web shields ON ?

The only blocking extensions I have are ABP and uBo. Only ABP is currently enabled.

It had been working just fine on that site until about two weeks ago. Not sure why it suddenly stopped.

I do have a separate ABP for YouTube that is also enabled.

But I had disabled all of them except uBo to test and that didn't seem to work.

Could you test again (ABP / uBo - not together) using chrome portable ?

I downloaded the latest version of Portable. Added just ABP and nothing else. Still getting ads there.

I then deleted ABP and added UBO, checked that all the lists were checked, still getting ads.

Posting an update.

I did some more research and found a thread on reddit that discussed this issue. Someone suggested adding this to the uBlock filter list:

uproxx.com##script:inject(abort-on-property-write.js, adonisHash)

I added that and it seems to be working. I tried adding it to ABP but I got an error saying something about an invalid CSS selector. But at any rate, I can block the ads via UBO.

That filter is already in the "ublock filters". Did you disable that list ?

It's a filter uBo specific so ABP does not recognize it.

I did not change any default setting; I just added the filter manually in UBO. When I clicked to see if any filter were unchecked, they all appear to be checked.
