adblock not working on wikia sites

go to any of the wikia pages and you get ads all over the place now, such as on the halo wikia.

now if I load the pages on firefox 49...adblock plus works as intended...

I know chrome uses some IE settings..is it possible, due to some kind of conflict, that adblock plus on IE is interfering with adblock plus, on chrome?

If it's not a case of ads being injected by malware, then this report from the uBlock Origin logger may be useful:

Code: Select all

Static filter ||quantserve.com^ found in:
* https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_ad.txt
* Blockzilla
* https://pgl.yoyo.org/as/serverlist.php?hostformat=adblockplus&showintro=0&mimetype=plaintext&skip[]=adf.ly&skip[]=boldchat.com
* Malvertising filter list by Disconnect
None of these lists is default in ABP (and I think only the last one is default in uBlock Origin, although the one from pgl.yoyo.org without those skipped domains is also default in uBO); I know that the one at pgl.yoyo.org is also ABP-compatible, I think Blockzilla is too, and I know that the Disconnect lists are not compatible with ABP.

I'm not sure that quantserve.com would be a source of ads: I thought that domain was strictly for analytics, and I'm not sure where the ads would have come from, out of the few resources that showed up in the logger as blocked.
There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.

unfortunately ABP cannot block such ads, I already said you what to do (in firefox that crap is not active):

Thank you for information, try in another computer and it is running fine :D

Thanks for sharing, it's really helpful with my case!
