Outbrain

[Chris4]

Hi there,

I noticed some 'Outbrain.com' ads not being blocked and wanted to report it here. I can see they are on the Easylist filter, but the ads are still being displayed.

URL: http://www.shape.com/lifestyle/mind-and ... day-energy

Right-hand side, you'll see 'Better Buzz' (i.e. related articles) and at the bottom it mentions 'recommended by Outbrain'.

Related topic from 2013, where it was previously fixed: forum/viewtopic.php?t=10982

Thanks,

Chris

- a lot of outbrain stuff is blocked by annoyances list
- sometimes legitimate content is displayed using outbrain / taboola

however, you can add this filter:

Code: Select all

||outbrain.com^

Thanks, that's done it.

Just to highlight the elements that show:-

Some of those appearing on the right are of sexual nature:-


And this is a floating ad that is pretty obtrusive, particularly on a smaller screen:-


I would suggest reviewing whether these definitely shouldn't be blocked.
