Ad Blocker issue

ErnieCat

I've been using Ad blocker for a while on Chrome.  Today I keep  getting videos from Marie Claire in the bottom corner of screen on Woman/Womans Own/What's on TV etc websites.   There is a cross in bottom of the video to stop it, but it just keeps coming back.  Anyone else had this issue please?

I'm getting the same but think I have a work around for it when using adblock+.

Choose block element then click on the video and choose block. You may have to do this a few times to get it to disappear completely. I found that the audio still played when I went to confirm entry but if you right click on the tab you can choose to mute the page.

I've tried restarting my browser and the videos are still disappeared when opening those tabs again.

Just to update I've had a google and it's easiest to c&p and add this to your filters list should work with other adblockers too

I currently use DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials (extension) to block adverts at a browser level.  But my main protection is through a well-configured secure DNS service (Next DNS).  I recommend both of these solutions

Thanks both,  adblock working fine now..

Thanks. I am struggling to do this with my Adblock. It's not showing the option. I did find, and try, "Hide something on this page" where you then have to click on something to hide it. But it didn't work. I will keep trying. Meanwhile, if anyone else is struggling, this isn't a solution, but it made it significantly less annoying, for me. I have shrunk the screen for the Magazines that are showing that blooding nail painting video. It makes it less intrusive.

@Blulu for adblock go to your settings then customize then click on the edit button on manually edit your filters. Copy and paste the jw text that I posted in my 2nd comment then click save. It should look like this when saved. This will get rid of them.

@EnglishWelshie thank you for taking the trouble to do me a step by step. I will give that a try. I did try to C&P that bit, but couldn't work out where to paste it to 🙃😁

I nearly posted screenshot to adblock+ which I use then realised there's one called adblock too so downloaded it to test what to do. Good luck hope you sort it as the video is so annoying. I thought it was my fault because I had just used ccleaner to clear cookies but checked here first thankfully.

Hmmm, maybe it IS your fault. Your cookies broke the whole system

Thanks again - loads

@EnglishWelshie I think I love you. I just tried what you said and have logged in to all the mags with no annoying video.

Thank you so much.

Goodness knows why they would do something that annoying in the first place.
