Ad blocking

[UgoDream]

really? I also have AdGuard but still YT shows the ads..

You need to filter https protocol.

Why does AdGuard need to be able to filter HTTPS?​

The thing is, more and more websites, blogs, social media, etc. switch to HTTPS every day. And following blogs and websites, more ad networks switch to HTTPS too, because it becomes necessary to display ads on the HTTPS-based website. Here are few examples of popular websites, where you can’t remove ads without filtering the HTTPS: youtube.com, facebook.com, twitter.com.

It does for me.
With Safari and with other browsers.

AdGuard and 1Blocker both block YouTube ads in Safari.

I tried a few adblockers from the App store before AdBlock Pro and none of them blocked YT ad's.



I'd love to know the real reason that YT ad's have suddenly become a problem for many on Safari.

I wouldn't mind YouTube ads so much if they all came with a "Skip" button. I mean how many times does YouTube want me to see the Aspen Dental ad before they know I'm not interested? Apparently every frickin video. If I think an ad might be for something I'm interested in I'll let it play a few times, but after the first 100 times it gets old. You'd think the morons at Google would get the idea, after I hit "Skip" on an ad often enough, that they'd cycle in something new. Targeted ads my ass.

I really don't know why they don't come with a Like/Dislike button so we could rate them and they'd get a better idea of what's working and what's not.

AdGuard takes care of YT ads, something even Pi-Hole can not.

Hello everyone. I installed AdGuard to my phone last week and it’s been pretty good going so far.

I noticed today that ads on the search results page for Google etc. aren’t showing and those are ads I’d like to see as there’s occasionally offers in interested in.

I can’t seem to find somewhere to switch them on - anyone know how? Or do I need the pro version of AdGuard? If so, I’ll pay for the lifetime license.

Thanks.

Go to settings - content blocking - filters - other - Filter unblocking search ads and self-promotions

Turn ON that filter list to unblock search ads.

Thanks for responding. I got help on the AdGuard forum which advised this but I’m still having issues. I turned the filter on last Friday, picture attached, but I’m still not seeing any search ads on the following:

Google
Bing
DuckDuckGo

…but strangely enough searches on Yahoo are showing ads, which I never use. I just tested it.

Any ideas as to what could be causing the ads to still not appear?
