Just installing UBO got rid of those ads on SlickDeals! Thanks for the tip

After further reading I see UBO does the same thing as ABP (only better) so will uninstall ABP.

Thanks for the help! Will UBO work alongside Ad Block Plus in Firefox, or shall I uninstall the latter?

Thanks ... seems to have worked! Using your fix, I haven't had any ads for a couple days on that site. After about 6 months of no ads, they are back on Slickdeals.net. I get three big banner ads: one on the top of the page, one on the left side about half way down and one on the bottom. I still hav...

Thanks much for pasting that. I'll give it a try. Do advertisers use your IP address to target ads to your location?

I'm not able to access that link or article because it's blocked due to an internet filter that is blocking all anonymizers/proxies. But will try to look it up elsewhere.

Thanks for the tip. What does webrtc do, and are there any valid reasons to have it enabled? Just wondering what I'll be turning off?

The ads were gone for a while, and now they're reappeared. Here is the new issue report for the ads on top and on the left side: https://reports.adblockplus.org/9c1c0983-a26e-44e7-9f2f-344fd3bbdbbc And here is the report for the ad at the bottom: https://reports.adblockplus.org/2f1da6c2-531a-44e7-a6...

Thanks, much! So far those filters are working. I do run Malwarebytes and ADWcleaner regularly, and I've had these ads for a long time, so I don't think the ads are due to malware.

Please test using Firefox portable + only adblock plus + easylist. ... & If you still see ads submit an issue report and post here the link. Ok, I did that and still get ads, although I tried it without logging in, so you could reproduce it. The top ad is a bit different (in its shape and locat...

Yes, I'm only using AdBlocker Plus with Firefox.

Thanks for those. I installed that custom filter and it seemed to work, but on the third time of hitting refresh, I got three ads on the page, in the normal spots (top, bottom and left side).

I'm using Firefox and Adblocker Plus. The one site I'm having a problem with is Slickdeals.net, particularly this URL: https://slickdeals.net/newsearch.php?daysprune=7&vote=8&forumchoice%5B%5D=9&pp=100&sort=newest&rating=4&previousdays=7&forumid%5B%5D=9&hideexpired=1 ...
