Reuters.com ads somehow getting through

Post by tiberiusgracchus »

I use Chrome and I've noticed over the past few weeks that those annoying, charlatanic dianomi ads have been appearing on Reuters.

I'm not html savvy, but the source for the ads show up as something like

Code: Select all

https://s2.reutersmedia.net/resources_v14/r/?a=1&m=19&d=20170708&t=3&i=3808111525&w=005&r=BHZTPdxH5jsFH
Obivously I cannot block those sources since a new one is generated each time the page is loaded, and if I try blocking the domain s2.reuters.net then the whole reuters page gets screwed up.

Is there any possible way to block these ads?

Thanks,
Jason

well, the guys at easylist added days ago a horrible filter whitelisting all images (and so the ads too)
Now it was removed, just add in your custom filters this 1:

Code: Select all

reuters.com##img[src*="reutersmedia.net//resources"]

Just right click any ad with the Block Element feature. If the site messes up, use help from others.
