"Ads make you grumpy"

Chess.com forces adds down my throat
Re: Chess.com forces adds down my throat
Could you post a page link where you are seeing those ads ?
Could you also submit an issue report and then post the report link here (add your extensions / addons to the report) ?

Re: Chess.com forces adds down my throat
Hey all,
Funny i should see this! I got bored so I google searched "chess.com adblock" because just yesterday i got banners all over my chess.com pages, exactly as the previous user stated, slamming adblock users for the ads. I refreshed the page thinking maybe it was a one time request, but it wasnt. They were going to keep em until i paid or took ADP away.
I wouldnt mind seeing ads if they werent, in my mind, so offensive. Most of them I would not want my siblings around.
that said, i fortunately got screenshots of that BS to mock it because i blocked those too. let me post them here to show you what i did. Keep in mind that i have both Adblock AND adblock plus and this I believe is using just Adblock. Sorry if that offends anyone on this ADB forum! Still pertaining though i hope this will not be removed.
Attached are snapshots of both the problem and my solution. :)
Basically, block the banners. They dont have the same strings as ads, but you can still blacklist the banners and ive never had a problem since.
Do you guys know how to post the images? I am trying to find out how to do the snapshots stored in my computer but i cant find a way. Apparently they have to be online? I'll keep trying but in the meantime can you guys tell me how?
Good luck all, and chess.com just made sure that im not buying premium! It was an option before but not anymore, i dont like the way they try to guilt trip and annoy us into buying.

Re: Chess.com forces adds down my throat
OK this is the best i could do i apologize.
Btw Im datfreshmandude, look me up!
I would be happy to friend and play you in some games in 1550 and dropping but i would still love to play!
Getting back on topic this is what i could do through google drive (the easiest and fastest way i could think up)

I gotta admit, when i got these (and having not seen ads on here for forever) this scared the living daylights out of me until i realized what these dbags pulled. Well played chess.com.
Now, they're either desperate or stupid or both.
Good luck and let me know with any more questions!

Re: Chess.com forces adds down my throat
One last thought is im using Chrome but i dont think that will make a difference when it comes to how to solve this hell of an annoying problem.
Re: Chess.com forces adds down my throat
@ryanorr4life, I tested many times, I don't see any add with ABP and easylist enabled.
Please verify your filter lists and be sure you still have easylist enabled (click ABP icon, options, "filter lists" tab)

Re: Chess.com forces adds down my throat
Hey,
If my version is the same as yours if you click the ABP icon, there will be an option to "Block Element". You click it and then it will ask you to click the element you want to block. :) Let me know when you try that, and hopefully it will have worked
Peace

Re: Chess.com forces adds down my throat
Do the ads only show up when you're logged in? I just tried to play against the computer and I didn't see any ads. It did require me to run java though.
AdBlock Plus extension;
Chrome 64 bit;
Subscription Lists: EasyList, EasyPrivacy, Malware Domains, Social Blocking, Adblock Warning Removal List, Spam404 and Adware filters.

Re: Chess.com forces adds down my throat
@ryanorr4life,
first of all remove the other adblock extension.
Keep only adblock plus.
Then, click ABP icon, options, "filter lists" tab.
Do you see some enabled lists ? If no ==> click "add filter subscription" and add at least easylist.
Try again.
