Google's in-app ads not blocked

App:
Android Assistant
Ads appear at the bottom of the app but
their requests (doubleclick.net, inmob.com and admob.com) should be blocked by ABP by the filters of EasyList (
||admob.com^$third-party,
||inmobi.com^$third-party and
||doubleclick.net^$~object-subrequest,third-party)
Be sure to update the subscription. I added "||inmobi.com^$third-party" just recently.

If your post is meant as a bug report: maybe the ad images are cached?
By the way, what do you use to monitor the requests from your apps? I'd be highly interested in it.

They are still there if I re-install the app.
I guess this the same issue why the ads in the Youtube app are not blocked.

That is
SRT AppGuard (German). Note that any app you want to monitor needs to be converted (can take some time depending on the size of the app). It will delete the data of the app and it is no longer linked to the Play Store but you can roll any converted app back. You need Android 3.0 or later.

I can reproduce it, indeed.

This is still happening for me. At the moment it is just a placeholder instead of the ad.
