Adblocking general

What software or plugins do you use to block ads? What filters do you recommend? Are there any sites you don't block ads?

I block all ads. I will also try and block anti ad-blocker popups.

Example: I went to Forbes for a random article
>Forbes
>site complained that I had a ad blocker
>left the site
>found out how to block that by adding a few links to a custom filter, nothing special, it is easy to do
>browse the article with no ads

If you are against blocking ads, then why not at-least block malicious ads and scripts?

I thought Sup Forums hated ads?

Most of Sup Forums has auto-blocked your thread because it contains advertising eg. the name Forbes.

uBlock Origin and uBlock extra, all the filters you can get your hands on. Also use https everywhere if you aren't already.

I've tried to keep a leaner filter list as of late, due to running into problems when having some redundant filters selected. It seemed to break sites and allow through ads, which annoyed me enough to cut back.

Currently I use all of the uBlock filters, EasyList, EasyPrivacy, Fanboy's Annoyance, Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list, and Adblock Warning Removal List, I wish AAK-continued ha been maintained, but it got removed from uBO and now I can't find it anymore.

Also is there a way to block Twitch ads? This is what I allow through the site and I still get them, it depends though, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't,I think it may be a regional thing because I notice I get ads on streams in Europe but not American ones.

I'm giving HTTPS Everywhere a try, but I found out that they use a whitelist instead of just forcing every site to use HTTPS

Maybe it's because not all sites support https.

I use Adhell2
Rootless adblocking using Knox.

Just requires a Knox SDK key and admin access.

FRIENDLY FUCKING REMINDER:
UBLOCK DOES NOT BLOCK ADS, IT HIDE ADS

it does both
you can block requests and also use rules to hide elements (not just ads)

guys help I cant post images

No one can. Sup Forums upload is down right now

My main source of adblocking occurs directly at the router by simple-adblock on LEDE via hosts file blocking. The best part is how this blocks ads on every device on the network rooted or not, when guests come over and use my wifi they suddenly have no ads showing on their devices anymore.

I think I read on Reddit about a replacement for AAK. Google for Nano Defender. From what little testing I've done it seems to work so far.

No clue about twitch ads, I use gnome twitch or pocket casts and I've never seen a single ad on either one.

Which lists do you use?

any way to block ads on twitch while using html5? flash blocks them just fine, html5 doesn't.

>running a basic malware/adblock filter list on router
>uBO for filter lists + manual filtering
>uMatrix for broad content blocking like not allowing js
>tick all lists in uBO and uMatrix

>stop aids

I switched from Adblock Plus to Ublock Origin once Element Hiding Helper stopped working with the latest ABP.

Aside from ads, I block:
Most videos on news sites (especially ones that set position:fixed and keep playing when you try to scroll away from them).
Anything that appears when you hover over usernames on forums.
Youtube comments.
Anything that appears over Youtube videos (annotations, links to other videos, embedded ads, etc.).

>A new "Please disable your ad-blocker!" pop up message appears, and blocks out the page until the [x] is clicked
>ugh.jpg
>Leave website
>Delete its bookmark
>Add a block filter for the website in uBlock Origin

Sorry, but I don't support websites that do this anti-adblocker shit. Am I being autistic?

github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/readme.md

This one here is a few common ones combined. I figured it's lighter on the router instead of parsing multiple lists.

I think it's not just you. Users at news aggregator sites like hackernews have pretty much stopped posting links to Forbes now because of their aggressive anti-adblock splash page thing. Joke's on them, that was probably a large portion of their traffic.

I don't care about cookies

I only block ads if they annoy me by overlapping the content or opening popups/pop-unders. Is there a way to run ublock origin in blacklist mode?

Just untick all the lists

some shit that someone posted on github that is a list huge list of ad serving domains added to OS
feels better than only having the standard browser extensions
too lazy to look it up for you

pls explain the difference

False they block it read their fucking GitHub you fucking idiot it's Adblock plus that hides them

>Sup Forums
This is Sup Forums now, get with the times.

If a site employs an adblocker-blocker, it says it doesn't want me.
That's okay.

The only site I allow ads on is Youtube, since the ads are reasonable and they don't employ an adblocker-blocker, but external shit (e.g. doubleclick) remains blocked via NoScript.

>Forbes

FUCK OFF AND DIE
>FUCK OFF AND DIE
FUCK OFF AND DIE
>FUCK OFF AND DIE
FUCK OFF AND DIE

seriously reddit is over there

ublock origin + nano defender(to kill adblock blockers).

>Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list
I stopped using this one because if I tried to Google something I wanted to guy and clocked on a store link it would always block it.

>buy*
>clicked*

I stop using this as well last year since it started fucking up with sites I useually visit and images would be blocked.

>The only site I allow ads on is Youtube, since the ads are reasonable
are you serious
ads in the middle of say watching something break concentration and are absolute fucking aids

I think the only ads I can ever accept are nontargeted ones in the very store I am visiting to provide information about some product that is on sale or some new product, and even then only really in food stores because ads for mass-produced electronic consumerist trash that you "throw away" after a few months is cancer as well

>giving more jewgold to piewdiepie and ecelebs who just read shit off of encyclopedia dramatica and other wikis.

Any maker with some competence has already made a patreon.

Hosts file and adguard dns

Which is better, Privoxy or Hostsblock

I keep getting this shit where Sup Forums's css keeps breaking with block their adds even though I have the stuff added to ublock that is supposed to add it back in. I keep having to refresh the page repeatedly to get the pages to load.

For windows/Linux
>install uMatrix
>enable all filter lists, and all privacy settings from the dashboard
>install ublock origin
>enable all filter lists EXCEPT the same ones used by umatrix

For Android
>root your phone
>install adaway
>use newpipe for youtube

Anyway, does anyone here have any experience with pihole? I've been thinking of setting it up ever since I heard about it, but I'm not sure how tedious the process is or how well it works.

Memed into pihole, not forcing it on whole home network just my own devices. Thanks to it I found my phone was making thousands of Google ad services requests and tracked it down to a certain app which was nice

It's a single command on Debian (or raspbian)
Then just a matter of making sure your hole has a static ip and setting it as your dns server either at router or per device level. Very easy and even a nigger could figure it out

First layer of defense is my firewall which uses a few lists. Then I use umatrix and ublock origin on my browser with scripts blocked by default and I allow only whats needed.

test

that's a terrible and uninformed advice, you're using the correct software but with some dumb per-concieved ideas

Reminder that if you use adblocker you are literally stealing content from hardworking people and should be jailed for thievery
Think twice before you adblock

Whats wrong with his post? I do pretty much the same exact things.

anyone use Youtube Adaway?

Use newpipe

i need my 200 subscriptions to stay

>enable all filter lists EXCEPT the same ones used by umatrix
uBlock and uMatrix are for different things, their filters don't overlap

and Adaway is a bit old, people nowadays use DNS66 or Blockada, neither need root access

DNS66 is garbage and a battery drainer. Never heard of blockada either.
My understanding is that adaway is the best solution, but since it requires root these other adblock apps have popped up that work without root, but not as well as adaway.

>Neither need root access
So they don't block at hosts levels? Into the trash they go.

>uBlock and uMatrix are for different things
Not the other user but I remember reading the same thing about "enabling all filter lists except the same ones used by umatrix" thing. I can't remember where though, I wanna say it was on the author's git page but I can't find it.

how do sites know I'm blocking their adds? is there a way to prevent them from knowing?

use NoScript

how the fuck did you post an image?
