Warning: Some gross Revcontent ads.

Describe the issue

pocketnow.com pulls ads through first party iframes

Versions

• Browser/version: Chrome 55
• uBlock Origin version: 1.10.4

Settings

• default

Notes

The filter pocketnow.com##script:inject(abort-on-property-read.js, inIframe)
should solve the issue, the problem is it does only after I reload the site.
If I add the filter and then go to
http://pocketnow.com/2017/01/24/vertu-constellation-luxury-performance-smartphone-specs
I will see ads and the console shows

If I now reload the page the ads are gone as expected and the console is empty.

Edit: If I don't add the filter reloading the site still produces ads and the console shows

This hides the ads at least:

pocketnow.com##A[href^="/wp-content/embed-ad-content/"]
pocketnow.com###recommended + *
pocketnow.com##CENTER
||chameleonx.net^

Maybe add a warning that some of the ads are quite gross (the ###recommended + * ones).

I will see ads and the console shows

I don't see this on my side, and no apparent ads. That contentscript.js warning usually occur when one restarts uBO while a page is already opened.

[gorhill]

Strike that, I did get the content script error, and some ads also. Will investigate as time allow.

[gorhill]

How about:

pocketnow.com##script:inject(setTimeout-defuser.js, /_0x[0-9a-z]|ad-block-test/)

[okiehsch]

Well now I can't see any ads or the content script error.
Looking at the source code the whole inline script that pulled the ads yesterday
has been removed.

[okiehsch]

The same inline script is now present at geektime.co.il.
geektime.co.il##script:inject(abort-on-property-read.js, inIframe) again does not work
consistently so maybe my scriptlet is faulty.

Console if it works and you don't see ads.

Console if it does not work and you do see ads.

[gorhill]

does not work
consistently

Does it work better if commenting out the 3 lines of code at https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/blob/8c3da95d650001a61eefcd301aa9e415151bd7f3/platform/chromium/vapi-client.js#L53

Seems to be the case on my side.

[okiehsch]

With a modified vapi-client.js

hope that's what you meant.

It seems to be working more consistently but after randomly clicking through about
half a dozen articles I could reproduce the Uncaught TypeError with the accompanying
ads once again.

[gorhill]

I could reproduce the Uncaught TypeError once again

I think this one is an issue with abort-on-property-read.js -- I think there is a flawed test in there about how it tries to detect whether the property was already trapped by uBO. I believe the issue could be reproduced by merely removing then re-adding an iframe in the DOM.

The contentType stuff, I could maybe revise to no longer abort content script execution, but rather just ensure no style tags are inserted in the document -- which were the issues for that piece of code.

same company from geektime.co.il, can you fix them too? looks like Hebrew list can fix the ads there. I've tested adGuard too

[zum348]

any news about this? @okiehsch @gorhill ?

[IsraeliAdblocker]

just wanted to know if there is a fix for this one?

[terrorist96]

The site has an "ad manager" at the bottom right. That can be used to turn off the ads:

fyi @ryanbr pocketnow.com##div > div > table:last-child breaks search.
It hides all search results.
