I'm getting Sponsored Links by Taboola all over
io9 and it seems like Adware, but Malwarebytes isn't picking anything up.
Anyone else seeing this?
I can confirm that Taboola is used on io9. It's not you.
However, Taboola and Outbrain are both despicable. I've added /etc/hosts entries that work very well for me since AdBlockPlus seems to think they are acceptable to display. Here's my /etc/hosts if you want to use it. Granted, it'll only work for your Mac, so if you browse from your phone or tablet, you'll need to find alternatives.
Code:

I use this in conjunction with ABP and it works well for me.
