MGID ads injected on Postimage, almost unblockable #1759

Closed RMisaki closed 8 years ago

RMisaki commented 8 years ago

By the way, it ISN'T malware on my computer, just to make it clear

Describe the issue

Postimage.org is using some ANNOYING ads injected from mgid, even though they can block pages from opening when clicked, the ads are still displayed, using base64 encoding so they don't get blocked. I could block the side ads by using this filter: postimg.org###content > .show-image.container > .td-ad

But the other ads I couldn't, even with: postimg.org##img[src^="data:"]

Well, those ads on the bottom aren't in a named div or anything, they are very shielded from blocking >.>

@RMisaki Yes none of those will work as uBlock cannot detect WebSocket connections on its own. That's a websocket connection displaying ads. You need to install this - https://github.com/gorhill/uBO-WebSocket#installation

Then block mgid.com itself via ||mgid.com^ or via Dynamic Filtering.

mgid.com is already blocked by Peter Lowe's list, which is selected by default in uBO. So it's just a matter of installing the uBO-WebSocket extension.

gorhill, would you update uBlock Origin on Opera Store ? It's still 1.7.4 there.
