"Block Ads This Site" Auto Disables

Post by HMArnold »

On CNN most of the time the ads are blocked and the "Block Ads This Site" box is checked., but occasionally ads come through and "Block Ads This Site" is unchecked and greyed out.

Is there any way to prevent this?

That sounds as if ABP isn't loaded yet - the menu item will be black once it is. We're currently looking into what we can do about that. I can't find the issue right now, I'll post it here once I found or created one.

Adblock Plus now lets ads through on CNN every time

Are these ads coming through because Adblock Plus is being paid to let them through?

Hi HMArnold!
Could you provide the URL you are accessing and point out the ad that you are seeing?
Do you have acceptable ads enabled? (Tapping app menu -> settings -> Ad blocking -> Acceptable Ads)

Or send me an email address and I'll send you as many screenshots as you want

Screenshots won't capture the aznimation, of course

Hey!
You need to use an image hoster like imgur.com for example.

If it doesnt work you could drop me an email. Let me know.
