Hi everyone,
I got the shield down for the web site www.investing.com – https://www.investing.com/indices/us-30, but the ad-blocker warning still jumped out – “We’ve noticed that you’re using an ad-blocker”. Why is that, pls.? Is there anything else I can do, pls.?
Thanks.
Hi @Azur, welcome to Community!
What OS/machine are you using?
What version of Brave are you using? brave://settings/help
Can you share a screenshot of what you’re seeing?
I’m try to recreate the issue on my end. I’ve visited the site with Shields Up, the ads are blocked and there are no “you’re using an ad-blocker” messages. I’ve also visited with Shields Down and everything looks fine - no “you’re using an ad-blocker” messages.
Hi Aa-ron,
Thanks for your response. I’m using Win.10/Dell. Version of Brave: 1.4.95 Chromium: 80.0.3987.122 (Official Build) (64-bit)](https://brave.com/latest/). I don’t know how to post a screenshot – there’re no “attach” option, isn’t it?
Can you test in Nightly? This should be fixed in our upcoming cosmetic/snippets builds.
Hi fanboynz,
Hope so. I’d like to add sth. – the ad-block warning is not always there – sometimes yes, sometimes no. I tried this web site on my laptop, it was OK – no warning appeared.
Yes, I know how to post the screenshot –
. Can you see it?The screenshot show shields being down? Nightly has more fixes and snippet functionality to bring down many of the Anti-adblock messages.
Yes, can’t you see the Brave logo in grey, pls.? Just click twice on the screenshot, you’ll have a better view of it.
@Azur what @fanboynz mentioned is in the upcoming versions (currently in Nightly) is that Brave will have a better adblock. Mean you’ll not see the anti-adblock message with shields UP.
@fanboynz but @Azur issue is that s/he get the message when the shields is DOWN.
Something is being blocked on @Azur end, since I’m getting plenty of ads (with Shields down)
But as a interium fix until Nightly lands, just waiting on approval. A fix for investing.com
Thanks. Here is my question: does this fix resolve my issue or what? If so, how, pls.?
This will limit the anti-adblock warning message? I can’t see why it would complain about adblock messages if disabled in Brave shields (unless there are other extensions installed…). Something was blocking ads in your screenshot which caused the message to popup, I’m just not sure what
@Azur,
I would recommend taking a peak at how writing ad-block filters work. It’s less intimidating than it seems, and ABP has some good resources on this.
Essentially, @fanboynz is including a string that our Shields (our ad block software) will read when landing on the site, that will allow Shields to bypass this detection.
