So do the Outbrain links count as advertising?

So do the Outbrain links count as advertising?

More like affiliate links rather than advertising, annoying, but not classed as an advert imo

[Silico]

The extent to which Outbrain stories are ads depends on to what extent the stories shown and their order are determined by who pays and how much, relative to the order just reflecting the user's interests.

I think paid placement is a big part of Outbrain, so they're ads rather than affiliate links that simply take a cut on click-throughs to stories placed there by a money-blind algorithm.

EasyList is breaking the outbrain front page and the my.outbrain.com dashboard again. Is there a way to fix this again?

False alarm, it was something else.

I have outbrain.com whitelisted, but the external links are still blocked on this page:

How do I whitelist Outbrain widgets on all sites?

[MonztA]

Try adding these whitelists:

Code: Select all

#@#.outbrain_ad_li
#@##outbrain_dual_ad_fs_0_dual
#@##outbrain-paid

[Guest]

Try adding these whitelists:

Code: Select all

#@#.outbrain_ad_li
#@##outbrain_dual_ad_fs_0_dual
#@##outbrain-paid

Didn't work. Am I doing this right?

Worked, thanks.

Same issue on this page. An Outbrain widget is blocked on the right rail even though outbrain.com is whitelisted.

You may need to Google the headline (Book Review: 'Owning the Earth' by Andro Linklater) and go to the story from Google to bypass the paywall.
