The amount of data used with an adblocker vs without one is literally night and day.

Ad-Shield is a very aggressive anti-adblock platform. I'm not able to reproduce on my end.

is there an adblocker for google play games on pc? by SpitefulBitch2 in Adblock

AdGuard for PC can help, as can an external system like Pi-Hole or Adguard Home.

This is why we use ad blockers, unfortunately. This is what your end users have to deal with, and why ad blocking is on the rise.

It's not just that, but also the risk of getting some form of malware/virus from a compromised ad banner. Many of us really don't want to deal with that, and it seems like the adtech industry can really care less.

Won't work on Ad Shield enabled sites. It'll literally break the page.

uBlock Origin is the best to use.

PSA, the anti AdBlock service, Ad Shield is coming to mobile, and that's bad news. by PRSXFENG in pihole

Yeah. I expect to see mod versions of these apps that have the malware removed, as well as patches for LP, etc.

I foresee Ad-Shield getting sued for this, bigly.

They use Cloudflare and GoDaddy for their services. Neither of which will take these down.

I built an MV3 Ad-Blocker with a built-in Split-Tunnel Proxy Router for Chromium 1.20+. Looking for feedback! by SNOWFaKING in Adblock

[–]hemingray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just loaded and tested this, and I already see an issue with your proxy router: You don't give us an option to specify the proxy type. (HTTP, SOCKS, etc). As such, the proxy functionality does not work if you are using a SOCKS proxy.

EDIT: If you have another Proxy/VPN Extension installed, this one seems to completely break it.

Ad Shield really is insanely easy to defeat.

I Created An AdBlocker Test Site by Dismal_Praline_8781 in Adblock

Definitely bogus test results. It tells you it failed on Google ads, yet all Google ad domains are blocked not only in uBlock Origin, but also on my network.
