Anyone else having issues with news.com.au asking you to turn your Adblocker off?

This morning as I do every other morning hop on my PC to check the overnight news and one of the first sites I go to is news.com.au and I used Google Chrome and have never had an issue. This morning however out of the blue a big banner comes up that blocks 1/2 the screen and asks you to turn the adblocker off if you want to keep reading.

I followed the instructions from news.com.au to turn the adblocker (Ublock Origin Lite) off and I even went to disabling it totally when their instructions still wouldn't work and I still get the message to turn my adblocker off but there isn't one running..

Has anyone else run into this issue at all and I have ublock origin lite to block ads on youtube and it has worked seamlessly for me for over 12 month now but now this stuff comes up with the news site I get my news from.

I have even now just removed Ublock Origin Lite and Adguard from my PC completely and it still says that I still have an adblocker running.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,

C

That albania vpn trick actually works lol

saw that meme going around about connecting to albania to avoid youtube ads and decided to test it because why not switched my vpn to an albanian server (was using purevpn but prob works with others) and holy shit, youtube is actually ad free. like completely. no pre-rolls, no mid-rolls, nothing. been watching for like 3 hours now and not a single ad apparently youtube doesn't serve ads there because of some legal thing? idk the details but its wild that this actually works and isn't just a meme only downside is some videos are geo blocked but honestly worth it for the ad free experience. way better than dealing with ublock filters breaking every other week anyone else tried this or know why albania specifically?

AdBlock erases your progress on YouTube videos, so whenever you come back to a longer video it starts at the beginning. Any fix?

Youtube Adblocker (GoldenAdblocker)

Hello everyone,

I recently made a really powerful Youtube adblocker, which uses a different method that normal player filtering. It uses the embedded player to block ads. It also returns the old Youtube UI, includes all of your favorite features (e.g. auto play, theater mode, and more!) and videos loads as fast as possible. I will really like if you check it out here: Chrome Web Store or Official GoldenAdblocker Domain. Hope you will enjoy it, and give me some feedback!

Issue

I opened up adblock browser on my Motorola 5G but then I see new things:

  1. Tab groups and standard tabs is now visible

  2. Search tabs option is new

  3. Doesn't show the number of web pages you've visited when deleting browser data

How can I return everything back to normal? I feel like this had updated just like Chrome, which is why I haven't seen this before on my LG G6 phone.

The Different Types of Ads on the Mobile Web (and which ones really hurt)

You open one recipe page and your phone sounds like it’s trying to launch a weather satellite.
Welcome to mobile ads. They’re not all equally terrible—but a few are repeat offenders for battery, data, and sanity.

(Context: I work on a privacy-focused Android browser, but this isn’t a product pitch. Use whatever you like.)


What you’re actually seeing out there

  • Pop-ups / forced redirects.
    The classic “Congrats!” page that steals focus or dumps you into a new tab. It’s less about sales and more about hijacking your session. Fix: keep pop-ups/redirects blocked; if one site keeps doing it, consider killing JS for that site only and move on with your day.

  • Sticky bars and floaters.
    A banner glued to the top/bottom with a close button the size of a pixel. They cause layout jumps, fat-finger taps, and general grumpiness. Fix: Reader Mode or a quick cosmetic hide usually calms the page.

  • Autoplay video (sound optional, rage guaranteed).
    Looks harmless until your CPU spins up and your data plan cries. If your battery melts while reading the news, it’s usually this. Fix: disable autoplay where you can; data saver helps too.

  • Full-screen interstitials.
    You scroll… and boom, the whole screen is an ad with a tiny “×” hiding in the corner. These are pure flow killers. Fix: stronger content blocking helps; for sites you actually like, switch to Reader Mode or find their RSS instead of fighting every screen.

  • “Native” in-feed ads.
    The ones that look like posts with a whisper-grey “Sponsored.” They’re first-party, so they dodge simple domain blocks. Fix: train your eyes; Reader Mode strips a lot of this fluff on article pages.

  • Content recommendation grids.
    “Around the web” tiles with dramatic thumbnails. High tracker density, low signal. Fix: block the usual widget domains or just skip them entirely.

  • Pre-roll / mid-roll on videos.
    Ad stitched before/during the video. Heavy on data and delay. Fix: if you’re on mobile data, lower default resolution and kill autoplay; that alone saves a chunk of pain.

  • Notification “ads.”
    Months ago you tapped “Allow” on a site and now you live in Casino Town. Fix: prune site notifications; better yet, block prompts by default.

Some pages add a bonus layer: AMP / heavy page builders that shovel in a slot every few paragraphs. If a page thrashes around like a washing machine, you’ve found one.


So… which ones hurt most?

From the field:

1) Autoplay video and full-screen interstitials — top battery/data wasters + rage taps.
2) Rec-widgets and sticky bars — constant layout shift and tracker soup.
3) Native in-feed — hard to mentally filter; slips past basic blocking.
4) Pop-ups/redirects — security risk spikes and lost context.
5) Notification “ads” — out-of-band noise you forget you allowed.


A realistic 10-minute cleanup (no lifestyle change required)

  • Flip the basics: block pop-ups/redirects, mute/disable autoplay, hide notification prompts, enable “enhanced/strict” tracking protection (or equivalent).
  • Use a real browser, not in-app browsers: set it as default; long-press links in social apps → “Open in browser.”
  • Lean on Reader Mode: for long reads and widget farms, one tap = 80% of the clutter gone.
  • Fix repeat offenders once: clear that site’s data; if it still misbehaves, save a cosmetic hide rule or loosen blocking only for that site.
  • Notification amnesty: Settings → Site permissions → Notifications → revoke whatever you don’t recognize.

Optional: turn on a data saver and drop default video resolution on mobile data. Your battery will write you a thank-you note.


Quick myths, quick reality

  • “Install one blocker and native ads vanish.” → First-party units are built to look like content. Reader Mode helps more than people think.
  • “Autoplay is just annoying.” → It’s also expensive: CPU, GPU, and radio time stack up fast.
  • “All sites with ads are villains.” → Many are just trying to keep the lights on. We’re optimizing impact, not starting a holy war.

30-second triage when a page feels awful

Video starts itself? → pause/mute, kill autoplay, try Reader Mode.
Everything jumps around? → sticky bars/rec-widgets; Reader Mode or cosmetic hide.
Random redirect? → pop-ups/redirects must be off; if it’s the same domain, consider JS-off for that site.
Site breaks after blocking? → loosen for that site only and report the breakage so the lists can improve.


tl;dr
Mobile ads aren’t equal. The big villains: autoplay, full-screen takeovers, tracker-heavy rec widgets, and sticky bars.
Use built-in blocks + Reader Mode + per-site tweaks, and prefer a real browser over in-app views.
Goal isn’t “zero ads forever”—it’s less junk, less tracking, same content.


Disclosure: I work on a privacy-focused Android browser with built-in ad blocking. This post is product-agnostic—use whatever tools you like.

Should I stick with uBlock Origin or use AdGuard Browser Assistant extension?

I recently reinstalled the AdGuard app (lifetime family plan) that I purchased from Stack Social long ago. The ad blocker works well & it doesn't interfere with my two AdGuard Home DNS servers at home, as there's a setting to automatically turn OFF the DNS protection if I'm on certain wifi hotspots. It comes with a browser assistant extension that I also installed. The extension syncs well with the AdGuard app. I can't seem to decide if I should uninstall uBlock Origin & use this other extension.

Looking for rpa dev in geelark urgently

Hi, I hope you’re doing well.

I’m looking for a developer who can build an MVP automation flow directly inside Geelark, using the native RPA tools.

For now, I need only TikTok and Instagram account creation, running inside the cloud mobile devices. The flow must support: • Integration with SMS-Activate • Upload of profile picture, bio and name (variables provided by me) • All steps executed directly inside the Geelark device (app-based, not web) • Proxy and device setup already handled inside Geelark • After creation, the account must be properly warmed-up

Geelark already provides a warming-up flow, but we can customize it to make it more human, unique, and less detectable.

This is an MVP, so we can keep it simple, but it must work reliably.

If the MVP performs well, I will expand the scope to other platforms.

I have urgency for this, so please send your price and estimated delivery time.

How to teach computers that if I wanted it, I would have clicked it. Since I did not click it, it's always a "No".

If I wanted to share my location, I would've clicked that setting to turn it on. Since I never turned it on, don't ask me to share my location, you already know the answer, it is no.

If I wanted to subscribe to your email list, I would've clicked on the button to subscribe. Since I never clicked on the button to subscribe, don't ask me to subscribe, you already know the answer, it is no.

If I wanted to share cookies, I would have clicked the button to enable cookies. Since I never clicked on the button to enable cookies, don't ask me to enable cookies, you already know the answer, it is no.

If I wanted to log into my Google account, I will click the button and type in my password to login. Since I never logged in, don't ask me to login, you already know the answer, it is no.

If it were a yes, I would've taken the initiative and led myself to engage such settings. Since I have not taken a lead to engage such settings, leave me and my settings alone. I'll take the lead to set what I want to set. Computers need to stop trying to take the lead for us. They need to stop pushing things onto us that we never requested. Humans are the masters/leaders. Computers are the subordinates/followers, who need to follow our commands. Not the other way around.

I'm perfectly capable of doing what I wish and not doing what I do not wish. I do not need a computer trying to step on my toes. Back the ____ off and follow MY lead.

How do we finally get this set in stone for good so we can stop going over the incessant No's?

How do we get computers to only do the things that we command them to do, nothing extra?

How do we compute without having to constantly continually say no to every single thing that they try to throw at us?

I was looking at a system wide adblock solution for android and ended up comparing those two premium versions of adblockers that were suggested by Samsung.

I see Adguard is a lot more well-known but it's also a lot more expensive for a lifetime purchase ($80 vs ~$16). Is it worth the difference?

Ad Blocking 101 — What It Actually Does (and Doesn’t)

I see a lot of posts that look like this:

“I installed an ad blocker, turned off personalized ads, cleared cookies…
Why am I still seeing ads / being ‘tracked’ / feeling watched?!”

So, let’s do a very low–drama, very human Ad Blocking 101.
What it actually does for you, what it doesn’t, and what you can do today without turning your life into a full-time OPSEC job.

Context: I work on a privacy-focused Android browser, but this post is product-agnostic. Use whatever tools you like.


1. What “ad blocking” actually is (in plain language)

When you open a web page, your browser is basically doing this:

“Hey Internet, give me:
– the article text
– some images
– maybe a video
– oh and… 20 different scripts from companies you’ve never heard of.”

Some of those extra requests are:

  • Ad scripts (banners, popups, video ads)
  • Tracking / analytics scripts (what you click, how long you stay, who referred you)

An ad blocker is basically a very picky bouncer at the door.
It holds filter lists that say:

  • “If the request goes to this ad domain → block it.”
  • “If this looks like a tracking script → block it.”
  • “If this element matches this pattern → hide it.”

Depending on the tool, it may block:

  • inside the browser
  • at DNS/VPN level
  • or a mix

No magic — just rules.


2. What ad blocking is good at

2.1 Cutting down in-your-face annoyances

Pop-ups, autoplaying video ads, fake “You won an iPhone!” messages, sticky banners.
The bouncer says “nope”, pages become calmer.

2.2 Saving bandwidth, battery, and sanity

Every ad = extra images, JS, CPU/GPU usage.
Fewer ads → fewer requests → less junk → less heat + fewer wasted resources.

2.3 Reducing some tracking

Blocking ad domains cuts off a chunk of basic behavioral tracking.
Not perfect, but meaningful.

Think of it this way:
You’re not invisible, but you’re less transparent.


3. What ad blocking does NOT do

3.1 It does not guarantee “no ads ever again”

Websites now embed:

  • sponsored paragraphs
  • native ads
  • recommended content blocks

They look like normal content, so blockers can’t filter them.

3.2 It does not make you anonymous

Ad blocking ≠ anonymity.

It does not hide:

  • your IP
  • the fact you're logged into big platforms
  • device/browser fingerprinting
  • ISP visibility

Real anonymity needs tools like VPN, Tor, and better habits.

3.3 It may break some sites

Sometimes blocking scripts breaks:

  • login
  • comments
  • video players
  • checkout flows

More aggressive blocking = more breakage risk.


4. Common Myths (Reality Check)

Myth #1: “One blocker = no ads ever.”
Reality: Fewer ads, not zero. Myth #2: “If I block ads, nobody can track me.”
Reality: Plenty still can.

Myth #3: “Sites that still show ads are evil.”
Reality: Many are simply trying to survive.

Myth #4: “If a site breaks, it's the site’s fault.”
Reality: Often it’s a filter list being too aggressive.


5. Practical advice (for normal humans)

Step 1: Turn on basic blocking

Use built‑in browser blocking or an extension.

Step 2: Use one trusted browser for most browsing

Avoid random in‑app browsers.

Step 3: Accept that some sites need lighter rules

Whitelist or reduce blocking only when necessary.

Step 4: Combine blocking with basic privacy habits

  • log out of services you don’t need
  • restrict app permissions
  • avoid blindly accepting all cookies

Blocking works best as part of a bundle of habits.


6. TL;DR

Ad blocking = a smart filter for some junk.
It makes the web calmer, lighter, and somewhat more private.

It does not:

  • make you anonymous
  • guarantee ad‑free browsing
  • stop native/sponsored content

Combine blocking with good habits → best results.

Use ad blocking as a tool, not a religion.

If the web feels less annoying after you set it up,
you’re already ahead of most people.

I can´t find a good Adblock extension for Chrome

Hi, I tried everything, but after Ublock Origin stoped working not a single adblock works as it should. I know I shoud use Brave or something, but I really want to keep using Chrome. I'm currently using Pie Adblock and Ublock Origin Lite, because Pie is the only one that blocks Twitch ads, but it's almost useless with any other ad, and UOL is good but it fails quite a lot. If there is a way to stop certain urls to open new windows or tabs, I would love to know, but for now, do you know any good extension that works today and blocks youtube ads, twitch ads, pop-ups and new tabs/windows?
Thanks :D

Advanced Macro Techniques for Undetectable Web Automation

I'm working on a Windows automation setup(5 VM) to simulate human-like interactions to participate multiple times in an online giveaway(wheel of fortune - I should only enter my email and solve a text captcha).

I currently use Macro Expert, but I'd like more undetectable and better solution that the website cannot recognize it as a macro. Are there tools or scripting techniques that help:

Macro expert has already recorded my movements, types and clicks. To make it more undetectable I've randomized the delays between clicks and typing. Instead of simple cklicking the Macro presses and releases the key. It also does open and close the website in chrome Incognito for every participation and I use Adblock origion to block all trackers.

Blocks everything on adblock testers
think i tested like 20

Also tested on ad infested sites and saw no ads
or pop unders

Fake Adguard Android websites

I found those Adguard websites that are probably fake. They are 2 first results on Google. The only button that works is Android download Button and other buttons don't work.

Yeah, I think I figured out what is going on...

Yeah, I think I figured out what is going on...

In my previous post in this subreddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/Adblock/s/I25N1ERbQE

I mentioned that YouTube is using some sort of weird pop up, asking me to buy their shitmium every single time I skip forward, backwards, or click into any specific part of the video.

Now I've figured that this only happens when I use an auto-quality extention, not any other adblocker extentions. This leads to another terrible problem. Not entirely about youtube shit-ads, but very similar and ALMOST NOBODY MENTIONED: Automatic-quality downgrading.

I don't remember when this started, but basically whenever you're using Youtube app or web, they will automatically turn your video quality down to 720p instead of 1080p that we always had. So my response was to always turn back to 1080p manually when using mobile app, and use the auto-quality extention as seen from that video. And then as you can see, the result is an excrement will appear on my screenbover and over again exactly like some sticky turd that just can't be flushed away in the toilet.

So, not only they're automatically downgrading the video quality, they're also uisng this kind of disgusting enforcement to ensure that i cannot watch 1080p quality. This is deeply concerning, because today they'll mess with you over an auto quality extention, tomorrow they'll make youtube shitmium mandatory for watching 1080p. The worst part is I've seen almost NOBODY talked about this. I don't know if there are any counter measures for this. Anyway, i hope you all take notice of this. I don't believe I'm the only one who got auto 720p-ed by youtube.

Safe Adblocks for mobile?

With the new YouTube update I'm starting to get 3 adverts in a row, so, after years of honesty, I decided to switch to an ad blocker. Does anyone know of a safe one for mobile?

How to enable MV2 extensions on Chrome (most likely for Ad-Blockers)

Chrome has recently disabled MV2 extensions, but there’s still a working method.

  1. Manual (use each time)

Press Win + R and paste:
chrome.exe --disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported,ExtensionManifestV2Disabled

Or open CMD and paste:
start chrome.exe --disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported,ExtensionManifestV2Disabled

Chrome will open with MV2 back on. Enable or Load Unpacked MV2 extensions.

  1. Automatic on startup

Open the Start menu and search for “Chrome.”
Right-click the icon and choose “Open file location.”
Right-click the Chrome shortcut there and select “Properties.”
Under the “Shortcut” tab, find the “Target” field.
At the very end of the path (after the quotes), add a space and this:
--disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported,ExtensionManifestV2Disabled

Example:
"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported,ExtensionManifestV2Disabled

Make sure you add it after the quotes, not before them. Save and now whenever you open Chrome, it will support MV2 extensions.

Is there any current Ad Blocker that can detect and block "YouTube Face" content?

could not load manifest(ubloack-origin) on windows

hi guys I've been following the updates and I knew that the new chrome update patched ublock origin again and this time I tried to uninstall my ancient version 1.65 and downloaded the newest version 1.67 but when I try to load unpacked it this message pops out the chrome flags don't work anymore and I also tried to go to the chrome property and add this line of code in the end of the path that I saw in a video from this guy BrenTech

--disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported,ExtensionManifestV2Disabled

and I made sure that the space is in between the path in this code but still nothing seems to work for me so far what should I do ?

Parent friendly Adblock

Hi everyone, I’m trying to get my parents (60) antiquated with using an adblocker, but I need something that is very user friendly for a non tech savvy older audience. I personally use uBlock origin or AdGuard for safari but I think that may be too advanced for them. Any recommendations? Preferably something free or a one time purchase.

What is the best AdBlocker for Chrome? (browser opinions aside)

Running Chrome on Windows and trying to figure out what is the best AdBlocker for Chrome? (browser opinions aside) I’ve used AdBlock Plus for a while but it’s missing some stuff lately and sites are getting around it. Tried AdGuard for a bit and noticed it catches more but sometimes slows things down. I’ve seen uBlock Origin Lite mentioned but not sure how it stacks up now with all the Manifest V3 changes. Is AdGuard still the top pick or does uBlock Origin Lite work better now?

Everyone needs an HTPC

Over the past 2 years I've been using an old laptop hooked up to my TV and a Bluetooth keyboard/trackpad combo. No ads on anything ever. Just install brave or firefox/ublock or whatever you prefer. You don't have to deal with smart TVs or streaming boxes. No side loading apps or anything. Watching shows, movies and videos used to be so irritating when I used a PS5 to stream all my content. Now everything is so seamless and unobtrusive.

A lot of people have an old laptop or desktop PC laying around that's just collecting dust. It doesn't have to be powerful, everything you do will be done in a web browser with minimal tabs. You also have unlimited access to everything and won't just be limited to the streaming services supported by your platform. Even if you don't have old hardware laying around, take a look at mini PCs. You can find decent enough ones for just a few hundred. More expensive than streaming boxes but well worth it.

If anyone is interested in doing this please ask any questions. If anyone here has done this and has anything to add to what I said please contribute.

Edit: To add to this, it doesn't even have to be a Windows PC. MacOS and Linux should work as well. To my knowledge this can even be done with a Chromebook as long as it has video out and it's one of the models that has the Google Play store on it, so you can get brave.

Worse Adblocking with Ublock ENABLED? Ublock + NextDNS

Help it make sense please. My limited knowledge & AI are positively bamboozled on this.

I am running a test on an adblock testing site. (not sure if links are allowed. It involves turtles in the URL lol)

When I run it with ublock disabled, I catch 130/134. (I thought this was due to my DNS blocklist, but I removed it and ublock and it still caught 95/134).

However, when I ENABLE ublock, it only blocks 72/134.

It seems a whole slough of amazon trackers & other things make it through.

I'm just not sure why this is happening. It does seem to fluctuate slightly on how many get caught on each refresh, but enabling Ublock is a noticeable drop in protection immediately.

I thought maybe DNS blocking was not letting Ublock catch the bulk of them so it was "overwriting" the effectiveness of the block when it was already caught at the DNS level, but that disabling DNS and ONLY running Ublock only catches 70.

My setup:

Router has NextDNS with Hegazi Ultimate BLocklist.
Proton VPN, but custom DNS set to NextDNS. (verified with dnstestleak)
Running Firefox on Linux with strict tracking prevent enabled. (Also changed this, didn't seem to do anything)
Extensions Ublock Origin & Privacy Badger. (Badger on or off doesn't change anything. Ublock is the one in question)

My ISP also offers a "Guard" which may be catching some.

Perfect YT Ublock Origin Filters

Perfect UBlock filters for youtube that doesn't show "Experiencing interruptions?" and insta-loads videos. I use MS Edge but it should work else where. It works so well that when I click on a video, it plays before the recommendations/sidebar can change.

www.youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false) www.youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, false) www.youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, []) www.youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, trueFunc) www.youtube.com##+js(nano-stb, resolve(1), *, 0.001) www.youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS.web_enable_ab_rsp_cl, false) www.youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS.ab_pl_man, false) ||googlevideo.com/videoplayback$xhr,3p,method=get,domain=www.youtube.com www.youtube.com/watch##+js(set, ytInitialData, undefined) 

How it works:

  1. setting adBlockMessageViewModel to false removes the popup,
  2. removing adPlacements should remove the internal buffer of ad spots so it doesnt send requests.
  3. setting the adBlocksFound prototype to false force sets the yt detection variable to false in every js object.
  4. setting the hasAllowedInstreamAd prototype to trueFunc overrides the original function to always return true in every js object, bypassing that adblock detection.

Everything past that is for removing the intentional slow loading due to not using chrome (like firefox or edge).
