Help! Adblock Latitude is not blocking ads

Unread post by T-H-M » 2019-06-05, 15:34

Using current ver Pale Moon, Win7, pc laptop

The app does not appear to update. I read somewhere that having Adblock Plus, etc installed can cause Latitude to not work. I still have Firefox installed and occasionally use it for private browsing (to keep from accidentally closing Pale Moon and losing open tabs). Is the presence of AdblockPlus in Firefox the source of the problem.

This is making reading content on some sites a nightmare and generally slowing Pale Moon to a crawl at times.

I would be grateful for help. Thank you.

No.
Have I posted my ask for help in the wrong area? This is crippling Pale Moon's performance and I do not know what to do. I need help.

Check if you accidentally changed some settings. Maybe you turned it off somehow.
Maybe you could uninstall it and then reinstall it; it's worth a try.
Or maybe you have some other extension interfering, or maybe you changed something in about:config and the add-on doesn't like it for some reason.

Guess we can start with some basic's...

ABL is installed?
Is enabled, what does Addons Manager show?
Does have some filters, that are enabled?

You are not running PM in Safe Mode?

What other extensions do you have?
Added any lately, or other changes to note?

On what page (URL) does it not look to be blocking where it should?

The basics are: Do you have any other content/ad/cookie/js blocking extensions? Sisters to ABL like old ABP or ABPrime, gorhill's abominations like ublock, u/e-matrix? Noscript, bullshit extensions like privacybadger any of those lot.

In fact, paste your troubleshooting info into a code tag and let me have a look see.

I don't know what a code tag is, but I will add the troubleshooting raw data. First, some answers: No I have not added any extensions. Yes, ABL is enabled and I looked to see if I could update it and did not find a means to do so. The site that is truly crippled is goodnewsnetwork.org but I am also having trouble reading NYTimes and Washington Post.

Please let me know if the following is not what you needed. Thanks

Re: Help! Adblock Latitude is not blocking ads

Unread post by therube » 2019-06-06, 04:39

IMO, ABL is making that site (goodnewsnetwork) worse, far worse.

(A quick look, with no extensions, then with ABL installed, then removing it again.
I did not test other adblockers to see if they did any differently.
[And I'm still on 28.5.0.])

OK, so you had to ask.
Yes, uBlock Origin looks to cause the same trouble there.

(Whatever is going on, it actually looks to be a good anti-adblocker solution ;-).
Yes, they have some ads, natively on their system. Yes a bunch of domains they connect to. But, running without an adblocker on that site gives the user a much better experience.)

That site does perform super badly with an adblocker in use (doesn't matter which adblocker) with more-or-less default settings. But in my everyday profile, where all third-party scripts are blocked by default (with uBO in my case) the site worked smoothly.

The problem seems to come from this script: https://wyrffayo.gcomrarlta.com/0bfa47cab342db503cdaff88c862d828
T-H-M, You can fix things and keep ABL active on that site by adding a rule to your personal filters to block that script:

Open Filter preferences (click the toolbar button, or Ctrl+Shift+E) > Custom filters tab > click the "Add filter" button, and in the box that appears paste the following filter:

Code: Select all

||gcomrarlta.com^$domain=goodnewsnetwork.org
If the site was already open, refresh the page to see the change.

Thanks so much for taking the time to investigate the problem and for providing a clear explanation plus the code I needed to add. It works perfectly now. :thumbup: :clap: :clap: :clap:
