gmx.de and web.de fight against adblock

[egal]

Hi,

if I browse to web.de or gmx.de there is a message on the top of the page

"Die Sicherheit ihres Rechners wird durch ein Chrome Add-on eingeschränkt. Sicherheit wieder herstellen"
The button sends me to http://www.browsersicherheit.info/ This website was created by 1&1 Mail & Media GmbH , the headquarter of gmx.de and web.de.

The user should uninstal "dangerous" Add-ons like Adblock Plus. Because these Add-ons are verry, verry bad..

The message I talk about looks like a browser-message of Chrome or Firefox. But it is created on web.de or gmx.de via Javascript, maybe someone can make a script to block it^^

Thank you.

if the window (of the group) has 2 panels paste in the right panel the filter above
if you see only 1 panel, click "actions", click "show/hide filters" ==> then paste the filter in the right panel

Please include this filter in all default adblock-plus installations. Best attached with a short 1-time-notice that web.de, gmx.net and the likes tried to compromise the browser and should be avoided at all cost. Maybe we can convince some of the not-so-tech-savvy users that these companies are pure evil.

Please include this filter in all default adblock-plus installations.

EasyList is the only default subscription, and it only handles English-language sites. I'm sure the filter will be added to EasyList Germany once a maintainer notices this thread.

http://www.gmx.at/ is also affected and not covered by the new "Adblock Warning Removal List".

Thank you for the filter, it works with Google Chrome.

since they changed the url

Hi,

bad surprise today when I visited gmx.com "... dangerous AdOns ... like AdblockPlus ..." and a button do deactivate AdBlockPlus

So I vistied this forum and searched for "browsersicherheit" - no hit. Meanwhile I saw exactly this word in this thread. Therfore I guess there is a BUG in the FORUM SEARCH.

Then I saw a quick fix (?) for this message, but no answer about the real problem: Can someone hijack the daily(?) AblocPlus update streams an turn it in a BadOn?

TIA

No issues here. I get 4 results for that keyword.

You can also search the web with your favorite search engine; lots of sites are discussing this smear campaign.
