AdBlock - topyields.nl, delfi.ee

Post by elelont2 »

Hi,
it seems that AdBlock blockers are getting ahead of AdBlock.
E.g. :
http://www.topyields.nl/ - uses http://blockadblock.com/
http://www.delfi.ee - now sure what it uses but there is a big banner that says that it disables some content due to AdBlock.

Are there any plans to make AdBlock smarter so that it is not detected?

Are there any good alternatives to AdblockPlus that already do this?

Thanks!

add & test these filters

Code: Select all

topyields.nl#@##banner_ad
delfi.ee#@#.adbanner
There aren't general measures someone could implement to defeat the various tricks. It's all about filters.

That seemed to work indeed. But does that simply hide the fact that AdBlock was detected or does it block from being detected?

ABP and other adblockers are not detected. The webmasters can only check if some ads / elements are displayed in the page (using simple javascript code). This means for them an adblocker is installed. Like I said there's nothing to do except working around with the filters (whitelisting the elements they are testing).

But if the webadmin were to check all the ad elements on the page then i would need to whitelist them all?

Then AdBlock would lose its effect?

Hi again, how could i whitelist forbes.com - i tried to search from the source for some ad elements but did not find any.

How do i go about figuring out which page elements should be whitelisted (with chrome and "inspect element")

Note that on delfi.ee they are also showing some ads provided by adocean.pl. Those are not only served by the script that's located at delfiee.adocean.pl/files/js/ado.js but are also directly injected into the HTML content of the page using the delfi.ee domain for the ad images and linking to ap.delfi.ee URLs which redirect to third-party sites.
