Ads Not Blocked

greyteam1959

Use Ublock Origin on desktop & Adguard on android phone.
Ads have always been blocked until just lately.
Now I get these ads on this website.
No other ads get through on any other websites.
Any idea what's wrong ?

Hi,

if you click the UBlock icon, whilst on this site, it gives various options, might help.

Adblockers won't work for everything - it's often cat and mouse, and if ads are implemented in a certain way there's no stopping them. Maybe the way ads have been implemented into that site have changed and now defeat your blocker.

Personally I'd try using the Brave browser, it's based on Chrome so will be familiar and has anti-ad stuff built into its core so no need for plugins/extensions.

That website isn't using the "known" ad servers, and some others are just hard links so they're not seen as adverts.  What you're showing are actual links, not "adverts" as such.

Tried all the options but nothing works.

I really don't want to change my browser.

So is there anyway of blocking those 'links' ?

Not sure but I think I read that Adguard and Ublock are not compatible with Google on Android. I get stuff on my phone that never gets through on my Laptops.

Use nextdns as your private dns instead and say goodbye to in app ads too. But those ads you see on that site are an actual part of the website.

Been using Adguard on android for several years.
Those ads/links have always been blocked up until a few days ago.
