Oh noes - ads on youtube

[lxskllr]

weird.

I don't visit sites with anti-adblockers anymore.

Also the ads with links to "related articles" which are absolutely retarded clickbait shit like "pics of celebrities you never saw" usually make it through.


I wonder, can anyone using pihole test whether the anti-adblock thinghies detect it as well?

You can test with this article: http://www.aranzulla.it/come-cancellarsi-da-facebook-guida-22711.html
it will go straight to an anti-adblock page.

ublock origin goes to the page. I'm assuming I should see a banner bitching about adblock, but all I see is an article.

duplicate post, but I'll clarify here. I'm on my phone, and using adaway with fanboy's ultimate list, as well as whatever's default, and ublock on icecat with watever's default.

I can see the appeal of ublock origin, I'm going to switch to it for a while and see if it's detected less.

EDIT: it works, it even kills the Forbes quote of the day.

I'm gonna have to keep the ads on the phone as it's an old phone, plus even when I change it I'm not confident about voiding teh warranty.

It does show the article but then goes to a message about blocking software. It also does this with JS disabled. Just stay on the page 5-10 seconds.

Still don't get it, but I forgot, I'm also using noscript :shrugs:

For Murloc, you can try firefox on mobile. It's a heavy browser, so if your phone's very old, performance may be poor, but it's libre and has addons which to me, is more important than performance as long as minimum standards are met.

Yea, it detected my adblock plus but I think it's in Italian so I couldn't read the text. Close to the bottom of the page I saw "
Adblock Ultimate which I've never heard of but I'll be checking it out, thanks!.

I found a more relevant (american) example: http://www.tweaktown.com/

just open an article and scroll a bit, a splash page should come out asking you to watch a video, if you're using adblock plus.

They actually got better since now they offer you to watch a video ad and then let you browse the site without ads for one day, this is a legit idea, much better than forcing occasional visitors to disable adblockers. Other websites should take note.

Adblock plus doesn't hide that thing, but with ublock origin I didn't see anything at all!

nope, working for me and I don't have any script disabling add on.

that's just the list of adblockers for which the splash page provides instructions to disable them.
It just seems to be a fork of adblock plus that has the acceptable ads check disabled by default (or completely unavailable) instead of enabled.
Still, knowing what I know now, I'd try ublock origin first, it's working much better.

I was even able to disable the annoying EU cookie notices which I never managed to do with adblock plus.

I have WP8.1, that's how old it is, but I'm going to keep this in mind for when I buy a new phone, as just installing an extension on the phone browser sounds much less complicated than the alternative I've seen proposed elsewhere (which is running pihole and a openVPN server and then connecting to the internet through your home network by using the VPN, which would be slower than a heavy browser due to the limited speeds I have at home anyway).

The site loaded, but after a couple seconds I was redirected to a page saying I had to enable js :rollseyes: After enabling js, the site worked with no ads seen.

Yeah it seems those sites still complain as long as you have the extension installed. I've even tried to disable it and it still complains. I don't go to said sites anymore. Forbes, I'm looking at you. Your click bait stuff is not worth my time to try to make it work.

Forbes always lets me through, I think. It's Business Insider and some other random sites I barely go to.

How do I avoid them on iPhone?

Adguard Pro and Protube.

 

[pcslookout]

I don't see any ads on iPhone, iPad or my computer with Adguard.

Yea, seeing a lot of that as well as of late, I wouldn't mind ad's if I didn't have to wait for the ad-server to load it, if web-site developers were more considerate I'd shut down adblock but since that's not the case it stays on for me.

You both should install https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/735-anti-adblock-killer-reek https://reek.github.io/anti-adblock-killer/

I don't want to go to those sites badly enough to bother. If they are going to give me trouble then I just move on. I try to reduce the amount of extensions I need to install.

Understandable but it is not a extension.
