User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080409 Camino/1.6 (like Firefox/2.0.0.14) Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080409 Camino/1.6 (like Firefox/2.0.0.14) Not sure if that's the best way to describe it, but digitaltrends' ads are loud and clear. Coming from http://hk.digitaltrends.com/max/adclick.php Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. visit news.digitaltrends 2. be annoyed by ads 3. Actual Results: saw an ad. Expected Results: Preferably, camino should have blocked it. It seems difficult to get to the page that describes how to augment Camino's ad-blocking abilities; it isn't linked or listed in the FAQ but I've seen it before...
The only thing I see there with 1.6 and ad-blocking turned on is (sometimes) an ad for speakers, in one of three places (banner, in article, or in sidebar) coming from, variously: http://hk.digitaltrends.com/max/www/images/orb-728x90c.gif http://hk.digitaltrends.com/max/www/images/orb728_2.gif http://hk.digitaltrends.com/max/www/images/orb336x280.gif http://hk.digitaltrends.com/max/www/images/orb-160x600b.gif Problem is, a lot of legitimate content on that site is *also* coming from http://hk.digitaltrends.com/max/www/ I'm not sure what to do here. Smokey?
I looked at this a couple of times and never could see any unblocked ads. I don't see any way to block those ads based on URL, anyway; let's mark this WFM, but if you see more ads from the site, feel free to reopen. (In that case, attaching the page source or generated source https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/webdevel.html#generated_source would be very useful).
