Adblock not working fully in Safari 8

[Don999]

Hi,

Adblock is not block embedded ads/ sponson messages in Safari 8, if I use Chrome the ads are blocked. Example site: any video content on http://www.nzherald.co.nz. Front page includes ads visible in Safari but not in Chrome.

if you are talking about preroll ads / video ads, due to the safari limitations those can not be blocked:

Requests initiated by third-party plugins like Flash can't be blocked. This mostly affects in-video ads (like prerolls), however not those on YouTube, which are blocked in a different way.

How do you block youtube adverts in safari?

We inject code into the page, messing with YouTube's JavaScript code, disabling their ads. An approach that isn't trivial and requires quite some afford to be maintained. Therefore we can't do that for every website. Also that approach only works because YouTube configures its video ads with global JavaScript objects, something most other websites don't do.
