I see these ads everywhere. They're never blocked, despite being the most irritating things in the world to see, and custom blocking doesn't get rid of them consistently. This is why I have adblock, so I wonder why clickbait like this isn't blocked by default.

Taboola ads are whitelisted by default.

You can disable the “Allow some non-intrusive advertising” option.

Because money. I agree, Taboola Ads and their ilk are some of the worst adverts on the internet. An odd decision by the ABP team.Zerim wrote:so I wonder why clickbait like this isn't blocked by default.

First one should be blocked now. Second aren't ads, just first-party recommendations from Taboola which you can block by ||taboola.com^$third-partyZerim wrote:The first one is here: http://www.christiantoday.com/article/h ... /58786.htm
