How do I block sites that use Ad-Defend technology?

Post by amar7 »

I use EasyList, but it is not working, for every 15 second video I have to watch a 25 second video ad, which drives me mad. Like this site:

Code: Select all

if you are talking about video ads I can't reproduce them using html5 (disabling flash)

for ad-defend crap add

Code: Select all

@@||focus.de^$generichide
for firefox you have to disable also these generic filters:

Code: Select all

###googleSearchAds
##.ADBox
##.AD_area
##.AdsRec
##.Ads_4
##.ob_ads_header
##.ob_dual_right > .ob_ads_header ~ .odb_div
##.plistaList > .itemLinkPET

thank you, but how do I manually add and disable the codes you shared?

Also the site focus was only an example, there are many other sites that have the same behaviour, is there a code I can add for them all to work? And why isn't that implemented in the otherwise comprehensive filter list "EasyList" ?

Here's another example, one of many sites with ads bypassing abp:

Code: Select all

how to add custom filters
forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=42013

if you are using ABP for firefox, you can disable single filters: click ABP icon, filter preferences.
click on easylist for example (the hiding filters above I said to be disabling are in easylist), press ctrl-F (find), uncheck the filter when you find it
