Blocking specific ads?
Blocking specific ads?
First off, sorry if this is the less than ideal place to ask, I've been sitting here pondering the best place to ask and decided to just ask here as it's kind of software related?
So I've installed the Ublock adblocker into Edge/Chrome (I'm fine using a "better one" instead, I have no preference).
But I would like to know if there is a way to block the specific ads.
like on Youtube; It will display ads as if they were a video in your sub-box.
Another example is on Reddit they place an ad that is like a user-post.
Are there ways to get these blocked too?
Also, has anyone else noticed that Youtube ads seem to get through adblockers anyway; Is this just an Edge thing?
Test uMatrix in Chrome or Firefox. If it fails without breaking the site, likely not.
Can't express exactly how I understand the uMatrix extension. Also, I'm uncertain whether extensions can display these kinds of ads, since they seem to be part of the regular content. For instance, with Reddit I used uBlock and removed the ad element, but when I refreshed the page another one appeared as a promoted post. With YouTube, sometimes the ad is blocked entirely, leaving empty space, other times it just shows the ad.
