You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.
Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

Re: Google paying AdblockPlus to unblock their ads
And Microsoft 'compels' antivirus companies to detect benign software used to circumvent activation as viruses."We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

I still don't see any annoying pre-play commercials on YouTube even with Opera where I don't have ABP.
Yahoo! are clever motherf***ers, though. Some of their small logo ads pre-render in what seems like a script on the page... and this goes around my hosts file even if I directly block the website that the ad comes from. The only way to do it is to block very very specific URLs - but that will keep me busy for a while if I try it. The other way is to block Yahoo images - but then Yahoo looks like crap.
By the way, according to that article, is the French Internet Advertising Bureau suing ABP because it is blocking the ads or because it is allowing them? Me thinks the former, but now that I read the article again, it doesn't specify. If it's the former, I can foresee another reason for a strike in France... As if they didn't have enough
Just saying. No offense to our French members here, okay.Last edited by momaka; 02-04-2015, 12:08 AM.

Re: Google paying AdblockPlus to unblock their ads
Instead of playing with your hosts file. Just tick the box in ABP !!
They don't make a big secret of allowing for paid adverts or how to block them.
And for those that are worried about privacy install Ghostery.Last edited by diif; 02-04-2015, 02:13 AM.

Anyway, the old Opera team are back with

For alternative adblockers, I have had good results with adguard and ublock. Adguard let's you opt out of whitelisted advertisers easily. Ublock is open source and basically a one man show, but so far it works and is pretty lightweight.Last edited by retiredcaps; 02-04-2015, 02:00 AM.--- begin sig file ---

Re: Google paying AdblockPlus to unblock their ads
This feature is to persuade advertisers to adverise tastefully, none of that full screen playing sounds crap. Some users are happy to enable ads on certain sites to support then.
This feature is not new and as ABP themselves say it can be disabled/enabled with a check box.

I believe I have it off. The non-intrusive ads on Google don't bother me too much. But those stupid videos and banners that take over your screen and start playing a video - the makers of those need to be sent to a labor camp for a year for that.

Re: Google paying AdblockPlus to unblock their ads
The only site that i care about to block those damn adds is (FirstRawsports) where i watch my favorite soccer streams , and for that Google Chrome and ad-block Plus is my good friend,
i can't say the same about Firefox and others.At least i don't know how to block them,i love Google Chrome and ABP for that.
