Adblock Plus

Posted: **Sun Mar 01, 2015 6:42 pm**

Hi,

I am running the latest version of Adblockplus and Safari on Yosemite.

So far I have noticed that video ads are not being blocked for videos on AOL.com or CNN.com. I have also noticed it on some videos on Yahoo.com.

I watch the same exact videos using Adblockplus and Google Chrome for Mac and the ads do not show.

Any thoughts on why this may be happening?

Thanks

Adblock Plus for Safari is based on Adblock Plus for Chrome and Opera, but has a few limitations, mostly due to limitations of Safari:
Popups can't be blocked.
XMLHttpRequests can't 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.
