Adblock Plus for Chrome unable to block video adverts
Re: Adblock Plus for Chrome unable to block video adverts
There may be other advantages to the experimental build, but now, with the stable release of Chrome 17, WebRequest is no longer one of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xk8mm1Qmt-Y
There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.

Michael wrote:Since YouTube has been updated there have been many reports that Adblock Plus for Chrome does not block video adverts. This is a known issue (YouTube adverts were only blocked through the use of a hack that no longer functions since an update to the website) that results from a lack of support in Chrome for extensions to block items loaded by plug-ins. When the API that permits this is implemented I am reasonably certain that Wladimir will permit Adblock Plus for Chrome to block videos when he returns from holiday. In the meantime, I would simply advise using the Firefox version of Adblock Plus, which is able to block videos. There is no point in continuing to post about domains on which Adblock Plus for Chrome does not block video adverts - we very likely already know about them.
P.S. Would a moderator please consider making this topic a sticky?

That issue has since been resolved with the stable release of Chrome 17, with its stable WebRequest API.

uh... It works today - I have no idea how - but yesterday there were only pictures and today text appears too.
Re: Adblock Plus for Chrome unable to block video adverts
It seems Crunchyroll has run a site update that prevents Adblock Plus from blocking the video ads. It worked yesterday but not today. AdBlock either blocks the flash and image ads leaving their elements in place (I tried blocking the elements, didn't work) and plays the video ads normally or gets stuck in the advertisement skits during the video.
Re: Adblock Plus for Chrome unable to block video adverts
Something about the ad URLs has changed, and the major subscription authors will soon adapt.

Okay, cool. I'm running EasyList and Fanboy's list, if that info is worth mentioning.
Re: Adblock Plus for Chrome unable to block video adverts
You should run only one of the two: The potential for false positives increases, they are harder to debug, the resource usage of ABP increases by a great deal, and not much extra blocking capability is gained.Godzilla wrote:Okay, cool.
