How would I know it's non-adblock plus ? Is there a list ? I'm on uBlock, so I post those which I use.

Hi, Rhana from AdBlock here. I'm having a hard time getting the anti-adblock methods to work on Timesofindia.indiatimes.com. This is what I have:

Chrome 51.0.2704.103 m

TamperMonkey with Reek's Anti-Adblock Killer user script

AdBlock 3.0.8 with AdBlock Custom, EasyList, Adblock Warning Removal List, Malware Protection, AakList all current today, and the following custom filters from this post:

Code: Select all

@@||indiatimes.com^$generichide
@@||hindustantimes.com^$script
@@||amarujala.com^$generichide
@@||amarujala.com/*ad$script
@@||mensxp.com^$generichide

||media.mensxp.com/resources/theme_migration/js/detector.min.js?*
/browser-detect.min.js*
||hindustantimes.com/res/js/ht-script.js
...and I'm still seeing this when I click any link on the Times of India home page:

Aha! I updated my filter lists just now, have both Adblock Warning and AakList enabled, enabled Tampermonkey with userscripts It's Not Important and Reek's Anti-Adblock Killer, and the filters you suggested in this post. The anti-adblock warning is GONE.

Now to figure out what parts of that cocktail are strictly needed. :)

Quick update: Well, to no one's surprise, the whitelist filters are needed to prevent the anti-adblock wall. The Tampermonkey scripts don't seem to make a difference one way or another. Even with the blocking filters, I'm still seeing a few ads on indieatimes, timesofindia, and economictimes but IMO they're tolerable.

Here are the filters that are working for me in Chrome with AdBlock 3.0.8:

First off, many thanks to Rhana and intense for all your help.

Just wanted to report, that Times of India has again started to show those annoying Anti-ADB popups. I am very curious to learn as to what to look for on the HTML page to identify and add custom filters every time TOI changes code on their end to identify ADB exists.

Thanks in advance!

intense, I disabled Reek's Anti-Block killer. That was the only one I had enabled. I have another extension AdsBypasser which I need for other web portals. Disabling that didn't really make any difference.

If possible, can you please try this web page and confirm if it works for you:

Leftover blank iframes on webpages on economictimes.indiatimes.com and an incorrectly blocked Facebook frame too (the Facebook like frame appears initially but gets blocked after a few minutes on the webpage).

The 320*20 adsbg300 frames are still visible and I am not using any list besides English Easylist, wait for few minutes on the page and the FB icon will disappear.
