Adblock Partially Blocking Ads on Armor Games

[DeadPixel]

I have been using Armor Games for sometime. I have had Adblock Plus active on the site without any problems either, until today. For some reason, Adblock Plus is only blocking some ads, not all of them.

Here is what a page looks like with Adblock Plus disabled:

Usually all the ads would be blocked. Yet they are not blocked for some reason. Only a handful are actually blocked. I checked four other pages on the site, out of the five pages I check, only http://armorgames.com/play/16083/clicker-heroes page had the extra ads. The other pages had no extra ads showing.

A few days after I made this post, other games had same things happen. However your code has caused those adds to not appear. Hopefully a fix in the future happens to where these codes are not needed anymore.

I believe this fix should be put as a sticky for others to see if they have the same problem.

Well, unfortunately the Filter Syntax I was given no longer works. The ads I mentioned are back up, however instead of being focused on game pages, they appear all over the site. Either Armor Games has come up with a way to bypass Adblock Plus from blocking the ads or something isn't working.

Sorry it has been so long since I replied to anyone. For some reason I am not getting any messages stating a reply was posted.

I first tried the following syntax:

Code: Select all

armorgames.com#@#div[id^="div-gpt-ad-"]
@@||armorgames.com/advertisement.js$script,domain=armorgames.com

At first, these worked on the game pages. After awhile, the syntax stopped working.

I added the following syntax:

Code: Select all

@@||armorgames.com/advertisement.js$script,~third-party

It did nothing to stop the ads on Armor Games. I tried a combination of the syntax to see if something was interfering. The only difference I see is when I removed this syntax:

Code: Select all

armorgames.com#@#div[id^="div-gpt-ad-"]

When this syntax was used, some places that had ads would leave behind a giant white space. Without the syntax, the white space is removed.

Every other place seems to still have the ads blocked. Not sure why Armor Games has had the ads return.

This one worked. I had to use the Block Element option to get rid of white spaces. Other than that, it works right now. Thanks for the help.

damn, just tested and even this failed to block the ads.

with custom filter in place; pic 1: top half of the page, pic 2 bottom. this is the AG front page (as to why the pages header is missing, that happened when i once tried and failed to use element blocker there. no major loss). http://imgur.com/a/eR2cw

still working the filter above

disable other addons / extensions, try again

nah, was abandoning that site anyway and just thought i'd give this a shot is all. considered dropping kongregate before as well but that one is more like the internets dumping grounds when it comes to flash/unity/etc. games so it does still get the rare decent game occasionally.

ads aside however, i still think the people running AG seriously need to learn how to tell the difference between "new" and "updated" games as they just lump them all together in one big mess labeled "new games" on the front page there.

not working for me, tried all filters in this page

EDIT: Found this script in the page:

Code: Select all

    /* ADBLOCKING STRATEGY
     ******************************************************************************/
        if (typeof ga_detect == 'object' && typeof ga_detect.blocked == 'function') {
        ga_detect.blocked(function(){
            jQuery('div[id^=div-gpt-ad-]').hide();
            jQuery('#edblock').show();
        });
    }

chrome + firefox:
add

then (only firefox)
1. disable easylist and subscribe this new list: "EasyList without element hiding" from: https://easylist.adblockplus.org/en/
