OAS sponsored content ads suddenly showing again

Post by Nonya »

There's a particular block of sponsored content that appears across many sites. I managed to block it in the past and hadn't seen it in a long time. But today, someone posted a news link, which redirected to a different site that showed the news and displayed the stupid, spammy "sponsored content". I immediately recognized it because it was the same group of images and links as before. So, I tried to block but in this case, the actual widget/provider is obscured and even the links redirect elsewhere. Looked at the page source code and noticed it listed "OAS_AD" for its sidebar section. EasyList has a bunch of OAS filters and they're all enabled, so I don't get how this showed up.

Link that was posted: http://news360.com/article/318132838
Site the link actually took me to: http://www.valuewalk.com/2015/10/twitte ... onference/

Thanks in advance!

Thanks!

I noticed I have a filter I created long ago ||*/wp-content/plugins/adblade* So, I just added the other 3 you suggested and it worked! I used the wildcarded version because I don't normally visit that particular website and I want that plugin blocked on any site that uses it.
