ninjafoo Ng Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 With ad blocker plus on chrome, right click the icon, pick options. Untick "Allow some non-intrusive advertising". This resolved all my problems blocking adverts on SecondLife.com domains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This resolved all my problems blocking adverts on SecondLife.com domains. I had reported earlier that I was having no problems. Then it all went blank. I sent problem reports for about 30 pages on SL to ad blocker, don't know what good that will do. Then I went to SLUniverse and found the same answer you have, it is working. Thank The FSM for SLUniverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Thibodeaux Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I edit my Hosts file in my System 32 file regularly, with a updated list that gets updated monthly. So my computer manually blocks it for me without any adblock. Blocks them because they tend to slow down computer and contain spyware, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melita Magic Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I just wonder why, lately, the ads have been skewed toward 'peep shows' and ads in Arabic. I'm trying to figure out who it thinks I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teagan Tobias Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Before I started using ad block I would see ads for what I searched for on the MP. I was looking for a corset one day for my avatar and sure enough ads for RL corsets showed up. The only reason it caught my eye is because I know I have never searched for a corset in for RL, and to have the ad come up as soon as I looked on the market place was interesting. So your fantasy life/Second Life is what is guiding the RL ads, I think for most people that will amount to zero RL sales. I don't think the people spending money for ads understand where they are advertising. But then in the good ol USA all those ad dollars are most likely tax deductible for {gets on one knee and bows head} Corporations. So its most likely free money for them, and one sale is good enough.

Crim Mip Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Here's what I've found. If you go into the options and then to filter prefereces, you'll see the checkbox to allow some non-intrusive adds is on by default. If you uncheck that so Addblocker blocks everything, suddenly the SL pages load. I have no idea why but this is really strange behavior. Then again it is LL.

Excellent advice. Also Disconnect 2 is a great tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
