I also remember that AdBlock wasn't blocking either. I don't know if this is allowed to post 18+ links, but anyway here's an example. Ads in right and at the bottom.

Ads come from brengoro.com

@dashed

I think posting 18+ links is fine. I've seen folks do it all the time over at https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl

@gorhill

I don't maintain filter lists. You need to report this to whoever maintain filter lists. For EasyList, this is where: https://forums.lanik.us/viewforum.php?f=62.

I think the ads on pornhub.com are related to html5 canvas / fingerprinting, since the ads do get by Easylist (regardless of ADP, uBlock, etc.). When I experiment blocking readout or faking readout, the ads are gone when readout is blocked, but text appears when it is simply faked.

EDIT:
I just tried default deny for 3rd parties, and the ads were gone.
Any video will do, but here are three screenshots I took:

Take not of the descriptions.

I never toggled any of the 3rd party blocking options in uBlock, and depend on blocking filters and NoScript to block trackers.
EDIT: This tracker was causing the ads to load:
cdn1b.static.pornhub.phncdn.com; If this is disabled, then videos not not load.

@Blutgang

@tancrackers Uh...why would you block cdn1b.static.pornhub.phncdn.com with dynamic filtering? Wouldn't that cause the css to not load at all?

Hm...the ad is blocked if I create this filter: ||zenkreka.com^$third-party or ||zenkreka.com^. I'm pretty sure the P.H. guys will scan EasyList everyday to get around adblockers. (if EasyList does add this filter to their list)

Edit: I do not see the ad to the right of P.H. if I use default-deny and this ruleset.
