AdBlockPlus ..Blocking Ads even when disabled
Posted: Fri Feb 10, 2017 10:50 am
I noticed that my forums homepage advert was not displaying on 1st visit to the homepage from another website, first I thought it was on chrome only? (have to refresh to get it too load...) well, I am now using Opera and I have installed AdblockPlus as the built in one doesnt allow me access to our Adsense account if I block Google (and have to put up with their ads on Youtube and Search) , so I disabled it and installed ABP on Opera to give me more control (disabled on my website)... low and behold the issue now happens on Opera AND Chrome... this must be related to the coding on ABP for these types of browsers..
Symptom:
when i visit the homepage with ABP installed (but disabled on our website) the advert doesn't display unless I refresh the page (Chrome and Opera only), it may display loading it from within the site but not coming from another website to the homepage it does not!
- it works fine on Firefox but that is slow as hell and burns through writes like nobody's business on my SSD
cant say I'm happy about it as I can see from our AdSense account that the advert on the homepage is only getting about 3% of all impressions which doesn't seem right to me and the fact this happens tells me why, this tells me that most people that visit with ABP installed on Chrome or Opera (and even have it disabled on this website) are having that advert blocked on the first landing of the homepage, but then able to view the rest of the ads on the forum as they work fine, as the homepage is the landing page for the site you would expect this number to be only slightly less than homepage impressions...
can anyone help resolve this problem please?
