foxsports.com.au

Visit https://www.foxsports.com.au/ with an adblocker and scroll down to the footer and you'll see an ad

first off they seem to detect adblocker via this js

Code: Select all

//tags.news.com.au/prod/adblock/adblock.js
then when I click on the URL it is this URL

https://pastebin.com/raw/1VvNPG4C

Given that it ends in "=" I assume it is base64 encoded and upon decoding it sure enough I see the URL

https://pastebin.com/raw/cvc2rssF

How is it this is getting unblocked past the blockers?

They have a new set of obnoxious sidebar ads as well as a truly awful video ad playing before any videos.

EG:

Code: Select all

https://www.foxsports.com.au/football/matildas/analysis-how-matildas-failure-to-convert-chances-proved-fatal-in-asian-cup-final-loss/news-story/361fa66ced611ec86978ccafd0ce88e4
The video has been crashing the video player as well.

As someone who already gives this company money every month, I'm sick of their bloated website throwing dozens of ads & betting shit at me.

Please fix thank you :)

Unfortunately neither of those kill either the advertising or the video player ad, and it stops the video player working entirely.

It's strange since in Opera adblock kills everything without causing problems for video.

I think that these ads only aims chrome users (no ads in firefox + adblock plus).

Waiting [mention]okiehsch[/mention] [mention]intense[/mention] to suggest a better fix, I recommend you to test the below filter in uBo

Code: Select all

foxsports.com.au##script:inject(abort-on-property-read.js, RegExp)
