    Hi Brian,

    Can you please tell us more about the issue you're reporting? If you're seeing ads, it's likely because you aren't using the ad-blocking filter lists in AdBlock's options. Please try turning on the recommended lists and let us know if that makes a difference!

    I have those choices “recommended lists” and this crap from Ad Choices keeps making it through.

    I’m even getting it on my cell phone now.

     

    This came for forbes website:

    I changed to chrome because AdBlock could stop these adds, but they have creeped in.

    Ad Choices is getting worse.

     

    NOW when you go to block this ad choices add as shown below and you click on ad block

     

    Then select block and you click on it it writes a LONG script that stops you from clicking block it

    Hi Brian,

    Hm. According to the debug information that's included with your report, you're not using the recommended ad-blocking filter lists. You're using several optional lists (Malware protection, EasyPrivacy, Antisocial, Fanboy's Annoyances, and the AdBlock Warning Removal list). These do enhance your web browsing experience, but they don't block ads. Can you please enable the AdBlock Custom Filters list and EasyList and let us know if that changes anything?
