Block YT video ad only

Yoghurt · Post by **Yoghurt** » Tue Nov 12, 2013 10:38 pm

Hello

I am using ABP for blocking the video ad only, using this rule:

||ytimg.com^*/swfbin/*ad3

But this custom filter does also block the banner over the video which I still would like to view. Is it possible to filter the video only?

try removing that custom filter and use the normal easylist subscription

sorry, but a subscripton would block a lot more, not just YT video

again, there is one ad I would like to block, the yt video ad, nothing else (thos ads are similar annoying to popups, but I do like to see banners etc.

He is one in my subscribtion list, I really would like to help such guys, if I disable ABP on that video, I got no video ad, but a banner. I like to support those people, but I do not like to support YT'er, which enable video ads.

Well, if you refresh the video some times, you could also get the video ad, which I like to block, but the banner is the one I would like to allow, you can "close" the banner to hide it and then you get a button in the middle bottom of the vid to make the banner visible again

I use ABP just to block YT video ads, but my rule also blocks the overlay banners.

I would like to block this ad: (video ad)

I would like this ad to stay (overlay banner)

my ABP has no subscribtion but the following custom rule:

Code: Select all

||ytimg.com^*/swfbin/*ad3

(this rule blocks both)

Split thread here did not work, well I hope it is still clear that this issue (edit: or however you like to call it

is not solved, any help welcome.

btw. I also asked the Youtube Usergroup: https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/ ... WeKcg2nvgJ

no issue, it's only a request for some specific filters (if they are possible...), so continue here in this topic
