I'm trying to find out what the URL is for them ads that pop-up at the bottom about 5 seconds into playing a video on youtube? I would like to try and block them via Open DNS, I know TubeStop blocks them but I want to use Open DNS so I don;t have to go round installing it onto every computer in the house.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Well this is odd, I don't think I've ever noticed one before, and I use YouTube quite frequently.
Do you have a link to a video with an ad?0 -
I use the Adblock Plus add-on for Firefox and I've never noticed the ads that you mention so that could be one way of getting rid of them.

Here's what I see with Safari on my Mac and AdBlock installed:
I've never seen an ad as in your screenshot before. I think AdBlock uses this list, so blocking one of the items on there is stopping the ads from being displayed on YouTube videos.0 -
I got an advert at 12 seconds. There appears to be a little red mark under the timeline at 12 seconds when the advert appears.0
