Fullscreen overlay launching ads still showing on some sites
Posted: Tue May 28, 2024 1:25 pm
As the sites themselves are "illegal" (third-party video streaming site), as are the sites that clicking the ads opens, I think it's against the rules of this forum to share them. As such, I will do so only upon request.
Adblock Version: 4.0.0.1
Chrome Version: 125.0.6422.78
Platform: Windows 11
Architecture: x64
Filter Lists: Every list that comes with ABP, including the ones that are disabled by default, with no third-party additions.
Other Extensions: Google office suite apps that come with chrome, nothing more.
More about my issue;
When using said sites, they will create a full-screen transparent overlay that is a link. On-click for the overlay will remove or hide the element and launch a popup. Sometimes ABP will catch the popup, sometimes it won't, but either way the overlay is obviously highly intrusive, even without the popup being launched.
Update:
There are two separate overlays being applied now instead of one. There is one over the entire page, which is showing up on every page, and one over the player, which is showing up when in playback pages. They show after having the pages open for so long (I'm unsure if it's a set amount of time or a random amount of time.), and it's becoming more frequent that ABP is not blocking the ads that are launched by it.
Update:
Chrome and ABP both updated. Issue still occurring.
