I need to block Taboola Ads

I have found several articles online stating that I can block them using ||taboolasyndication.com^$third-party, but this doesn't work. The extension fails to find this custom filter. I somehow managed to block Outbrain before, but can't remember how I did it. Can someone PLEASE tell me how to block Taboola ads?? I am using Google Chrome.

    I got the same problem, but in my Firefox browser only. Chrome and Safari don't have those Taboola popups appear at screen bottom. I've tried several ways to stop it with no luck. Hope somebody comes up with a solution that works.

    Have you tried blocking it with the wizard at AdBlock Button > "Block an ad
    on this page"?

    I don't see any "Block an ad on this page" function. See pic. What "Wizard"?

    Hi!

    You seem to be using Adblock Plus, another ad blocking extension. We at
    AdBlock do not make an extension for Firefox.

    Sorry for the confusion!
