Ads not being blocked

Post by Bonzo »

I'm using Chromium 15.0.872.0. On this page:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dialog/di ... n32-c.aspx

I tried a bunch of filters like:

Code: Select all

*.2mdn.net/viewad/*
*/viewad/*
http://*.2mdn.net/*
http://*/viewad/*
And none of them worked, the ads keep showing. What am I missing? :(

With ABP 1.1.4 those ads do show up for me too. I'm currently using ttjoseph's proof-of-concept ABP which uses the experimental WebRequest API and it blocks the ads on the link you posted. You should try it out.

1.) First you have to enable the "Experimental Extension APIs" in about:flags .... then restart Chromium

Image

2.) Download the extension at https://sites.google.com/a/qux.us/abpc/ .... install it

3.) Then you can disable regular ABP 1.1.4 in chrome://extensions/ so you don't have two ABP running at the same time

Should be blocking ads now.



Heres the thread where I found out about ttjoseph's proof-of-concept ABP:

It works indeed... :shock:
Will it take too long to have this version as the stable one?

Maybe, I heard that the WebRequest API won't be stable until at least Chrome 16.
There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.

Okay...
I'm using the latest snapshots of Chromium anyway, currently at version 15, I hope it doesn't take too long to come!
Thanks for the reply.
