Hi,

I JUST bought your great software specifically to watch CBS shows and now they seem to have caught on - as in today 10/15/14. Please fix this. I'll be happy to donate more, because I can't stand seeing those repetitive Home Depot ads every 3 minutes or when I watch ANY clip. It's extremely annoying and time consuming too.

   I forgot to say they are REQUIRING any viewer to disable Adblock before any videos are shown.

   Hi Ty,

   Does it change anything if you go to AdBlock button > Options > Filter lists and enable "AdBlock Warning Removal list", then reload the page?

   Can you please also go to AdBlock button > Options > Support > "Have our team requested some debug info?" and paste it into this discussion?

   Hi Ty,

   Please add the following custom filter to AdBlock

   Go to AdBlock button > Options > Custom tab
   Click 'edit' after "Manually edit your filters"
   Past the above custom filter into the text area
   Click 'save' (Don't forget to save!)
   Then try watching a video on CBS.

   Please let us know if this works.

   That seemed to work in Chrome today, but not Safari. It seems like CBS is constantly re-editing their code to sniff your adblocking plugin making watching a real headache. So while it works today - it probably won't tomorrow. How do we keep that from being the case?

   Thanks,
   Ty

   Unfortunately, we can't block Flash (video) content in Safari. We've asked Apple for an enhancement to allow us (and others to block content), but Apple hasn't added that feature yest, so I doubt we'll have a solution for that anytime soon.

   The good news is that we can block Flash content in Chrome and Firefox.

   You are correct that web sites change and update constantly, and we'll work to block ads as quickly as possible.
