Ad Blocker


Question

Recommended Posts

Does adguard get rid of the ads in skype?  Those ads are driving me insane.  Figures MS would take another product and screw it up by plastering ads all over the UI.

I don't see why it wouldn't work - I'll have to install Skype and give it a try. All you basically do is add Skype as a browser so it's filtered and find out. :p I've made the suggestion to the Adguard developers to change that feature to include non-browser applications, including Skype so there's no confusion.

 

EDIT: Just tested this and from what I can tell, it seems to be blocking the Skype ads just fine (tried a test call).

 

HOW IS THIS POST HERE!!! I Have been banned in the past cause i talked about Ad Blockers!!!

Well, don't block ads on Neowin and whitelist the domain - I sure have! Even better if you can afford it, purchase a subscription and enjoy the site ad-free! ;)

I've been hearing that for several years now regarding AM 5. :p A mobile version? Not feasible with iOS/Android due to the various limitations of both. Windows Phone? I wouldn't hold my breath... The only viable cross-platform solution to mobile filtration is a custom paid VPN solution with adblocking capabilities. Sure there's AdAway and ABP for Android, but in my option they're not very helpful with most ads - even on a rooted phone due to Android's limitations.

 

So do you know of any custom paid VPN solution with adblocking capabilities?

To be fair, he's only asking which blocker users have, not really glorifying it.

 

As to the OQ, ABP with easylist, and a little helping of NoScript ;). I also use AdAway / hosts file blocklist on Android.

There's discussions about an Adguard VPN solution for mobile being developed, *possibly* soon. We'll have to see so keep watching for that in this topic. I've posted some of my own ideas for the developers for that too, some of which they're taking into consideration.

 

I originally bought a 2 year license, then upgraded it to a lifetime license for three PCs - all of which I can control via the website (meaning if I change PCs I can deactivate the PC on the site and use that activation for another PC/install).

I have one small ad on the bottom left.  Is that the only ad?  It doesn't seem that intrusive.

One *may* be in the works, we'll see. :p

Shame I can't get a refund for Ad Muncher now, eh?

 

I thought about to buy it but I have not had a chance to get a lifetime license....  

 

Instead I got adblock for FF...  

 

Maybe I think about to get lifetime if I get enough $ for it.

TMG 2010. No software to install so it works with windows rt and phone, can filter https based on subdomain.domain (without https inspection), SSTP vpn for filtered internet anywhere, clustered for high availability.

Hi guys

 

Just thought i would explain the questions

 

Our Rules state that....

 

 

 

Advertisement Blocking.
Glorifying the fact in posts here on Neowin is strictly forbidden. We understand that some members could not care less to display advertisements on any website, and therefore block a stream of revenue that is required to keep this site running. We can not do much about that but please do not glorify the fact.

We have a subscription package that professionally removes all advertisements from Neowin for a small annual fee. We never ask members to click advertisements, and for those that do; we greatly appreciate this. Simply allowing the advertisement to load (without clicking on it) also returns revenue for the site. If you feel that you can not whitelist Neowin or afford the subscription but would like to contribute, you are very welcome to donate via PayPal to [email protected] and make a post here.

 

General Discussions about software that can be used is fine, as mentioned before some people use ad blocking software but white-list same domains which is good as this allows a for revenue to be generated for free parts of the site.

 

As per the rules though discussing the fact you are blocking ads here specifically on Neowin will not be tolerated and will be removed as per the rules

 

Any questions you can pm me i will be glad to help :)

I'm seeing an ad on the top of the chat area as well now.  Started with the new version of skype (6.11).

I'm on 6.13 and this is what my chat window looks like.  The ad I was talking about is the orange ad (that changes) at the bottom left.

Adfender.  Like Ad Muncher / Guard but free.

 

Works well, doesn't support all of the minor browser forks though, however it does support Palemoon / Waterfox and Comodo browsers.

 

@Neowin staff - sorry, if people are going to block ads they're going to block ads.  Banning / removing posts is a bit childish.  By all means encourage people to whitelist the site (as I do) but some people just don't want ads anywhere.  It's probably better to accept it rather than taking a draconian attitude towards it.

I agree with to a degree with Wakers, people will block ads even if you you do ask nicely... 

... But in saying that, if you are using an ad blocker, and haven't white-listed Neowin, then you should at least put in a few bucks for a subscription. 

I have my Sub2 - so im paying not to have any ads, and im still supporting the site. If you guys are blocking ads, and arnt a Subby, then at least take 30 seconds to white list Neowin guys :/

    • This is a none story - these low volume Chinese models will always get new experimental features first because Apple and Samsung can't produce them in huge volume to meet demand.
    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for Dark Scrolls, Empulse, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final update of June for Nvidia's cloud gaming service GeForce NOW is now available, and it is touting support for six more games. The company is also drawing subscriber attention towards the summer sales kicking off across stores, so they can stock up on more cloud-supported titles. Of course, the Steam Summer Sale is the biggest promotion, which is kicking off later today. "Supported Steam games can be streamed across devices with GeForce NOW, making it easy to buy a game once, keep progress synced and pick up where the gameplay left off on PCs, Macs, handheld devices, phones, TVs and more," says the company. "In other words, the Steam Summer Sale brings the deals; GeForce NOW adds the flexibility." Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active as well. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Dark Scrolls (New release on Steam, available June 22) SAND: Raiders of Sophie (New release on Steam, available June 22) Deer & Boy (New release on Steam, available June 23) EMPULSE (New release on Steam, available June 24) The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (Steam) FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (Steam) With the June expansions coming to an end, Nvidia should be announcing its July GeForce NOW plans next week. Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
