Filter code for newest Youtube ads

[singeryoon]

It's annoying to see those google ads while playing video!
I want to know is there any code to block those ads in the video thanks!

If you want to take the risk of nuking something else, you can try these as custom filters:
*_ads.*
*/pagead/*
*/ads_*
*/ads/*

They show ad "slow" in current ABP but they will be ok in the next ABP versions due to a new algorithm.
Warning: the shorter the "keyword", the higher the risk of "false positive".
But not a big deal, in case you meet some false positive elsewhere, just disable the above rules.

And since you are at it, you can add also this other "nuking" rule:
*_banner.*

I do not recommend that anyone add any of the filters listed in the posts above, they are overly generic and will cause many false positives

I don't recommend anybody to leave his/her bed in the morning since there is some chance to get overrun by a truck.

Jokes aside, it was clearly stated above that "generic" rules pose some risk of false positive.
BUT having them as custom filters IS NOT THE SAME AS having them included in a subscription.
The worst thing that can happen is the user who has those rules finds some issues and disables or deleted the rules above.
Which is every easy, not like parsing 10.000 rules in a subscription.

Oh, BTW, I don't know any way to stop advertisement that is loaded by the Flash video itself. At least using ABP. Unless there is an external JS file that can be blocked without disrupting some other Flash function.

It requires the use of some other tool (maybe Firebug) to determine what resources are being loaded by the Flash file, followed by manual insertion of an appropriate filter...and that only works in the Firefox version of ABP.

That works if the "resource" is a separate JS file. But those webmasters know about it and either put the JS inline or mix the Flash variables with general JS code that is needed to other site functions. So maybe you stop the advertisement but kill also the thumbnails.

Do you know something else I am missing?
