30 second pre-roll ads still showing on Breitbart.com

Post by dnonnema »

After installing ABP this morning, I still see the 30 second pre-roll ads on videos @ breitbart.com. Can I tweak or configure ABP to stop these ads?

Adblock Plus for Safari is based on Adblock Plus for Chrome and Opera, but has a few limitations, mostly due to limitations of Safari:
Popups can't be blocked.
XMLHttpRequests can't be blocked.
Requests initiated by third-party plugins like Flash can't be blocked. This mostly affects in-video ads (like prerolls), however not those on YouTube, which are blocked in a different way.

Looks like I found a good reason to stop using safari, and start using firefox. Thanks!
