It's shocking that it was ever even considered for inclusion in the whitelist, and now that it has firmly proven that it can't produce non-intrusive ads, it should be removed entirely and permanently from the whitelist.

Hi there,
for clarification: Both Outbrain and Taboola serve 1st party and 3rd party recommendations. 1st party ones are links within the very same domain, which aren't ads and therefore aren't blocked. 3rd party ads are labeled as such with the tag 'sponsored' and therefore in compliance with the Acceptable Ads criteria.info.junkie wrote:and another Outbrain ads taking most of my screen on fxp.co.il:

Same applies there. Those Taboola ads are all 1st party recommendations and therefore they don't qualify as proper ads. At least that's what I could reproduce on my computer: no 3rd party ads, just 1st party recommendations.
Thanks,

Thanks,
This is not true, you can identify 3rd ads by the Gray site title under each image + text.
as you can see, both outbrain and taboola ads on every screenshot I shared are combined from 1st ads and 3rd ads.
in this screenshot: https://goo.gl/7y1Wy9 there are three 1st and and three 3rd ads.
in this screenshot: https://goo.gl/dE6ZT7 there are 6 3rd ads and only 2 1st ads.
in this screenshot: https://goo.gl/ebGSrf there are three 1st ads and three 3rd ads.
you can also identify 3rd outbrain ads by their url, which goes to paid.outbrain.com instead of traffic.outbrain.com for 1st ads.

Hi, I did not say that there were only 1st ads on those links/screenshots. Both outbrain and taboola widgets are quite often a combination of both. The point is, only 3rd party ads qualify as such. Please keep that in mind when evaluating those widgets against the Accetpable Ads criteria. Thanks.

yes, that's what you've said: " Those Taboola ads are all 1st party recommendations - I could reproduce on my computer: no 3rd party ads, just 1st party recommendations"
so the fact that there are 6 3rd ads which takes 60% of my screen is allowed?
