Ads being injected after a page loads

[Kraust]

Example site: http://www.speedtest.net/

This seems to be an issue with uBlock and has been there for a while. I know that you're really adamant on saying that you block everything ABP does, but this seems to be an edge case where that isn't true (I know that ABP / AdBlock block these kinds of ads)

I have standard filter lists set: http://puu.sh/hOFfx.png
However when I visit some sites with these dynamic ads I get something like this: http://puu.sh/hOFfx.png

I am 99% sure I am doing nothing wrong. I've been using browser based ad blockers for almost a decade now.

I can't reproduce, I don't see any ads, using your filter lists. There must be something more on your side which I don't have, as I can't reproduce. I see 5 filters in your custom filter list. What are they?

The link to your second picture is the same as the link of the first picture -- the filter lists.

[iandol]

I don't see ads on speedtest.net either (mostly default filter list), uBo V0.9.7...

[gorhill]

There was an update of EasyList some days ago regarding speedtest.net. Are the filters that were added also in your cached copy of EasyList?

[Kraust]

I purged my cache and re-got the Filter List and this issue is still present.

The custom filters weren't anything much (I had one to manually filter this but I've since removed it)

www.gamefaqs.com###content.container > .main_content.row > .span8 > .pod.body.board_wrap >       .body > .board.topics.othertopics
www.gamefaqs.com###footer.footer
*s.yimg.com/uq/syndication/*

And sorry the picture of the ads

It only keeps one of the ads, it loads with the flash applet.
Perhaps this has something to do with me using Chrome's Flash instead of downloading Flash (I do not have Flash Installed on this computer)?

[gorhill]

Can you select that banner with the element picker? I would like to see what are the choices of filters offered.

[gorhill]

What's your browser/version, uBlock version?

[Kraust]

I had made a custom filter for it just to remove the related div:
##.dfp-ab-leaderboard

(That wasn't the one I used, shouldn't have deleted it....)

It's very weird because selecting the element with the picker doesn't select it. Instead it selects some Rogue Javascript:

I figured I might be looking at the wrong place in the DOM so the general area where this flash object is:

[Kraust]

I want to point out that the issue is most likely the rogue iframe. I've had issues with them containing ads before.

[gorhill]

In the element picker choices, I can get up to #dfp-ab-leaderboard as seen in your screenshot, after this, there is nothing -- I have an empty div. So something added DOM elements in there.

I would look in the log to see where that banner's come from. On my side, most of what is blocked are scripts.

[gorhill]

This is what got blocked on my side:

Hmm, I disabled uBlockO and enabled AdBlockPlus. This isn't Blocked by AdBlockPlus (With just EasyList) either. That's throws all sorts of Red Flags on me doing something wrong.

How do I view the list of blocked elements? I tried looking at the Network Requests, but I don't know how to filter through that.

[gorhill]

Maybe you just stumbled on a new ad which will require a new filter (just like new filters were required on May 6 in EasyList). Since you can reproduce with ABP, best is probably you report to ABP.

Open the request logger and then force a refresh of the page. All requests will be listed, Now is to find the one corresponding to the ad, it's pulled from somewhere and the key is to find from where.

[Kraust]

Well I just noticed something strange.
This ad only appears when refreshing the page. On a normal page load it will not appear.

Also the domain is rateaccept.net. I am not sure exactly which request is the one that does it as there seem to be a dozen different embedded divs / iframes / requests to the site. Perhaps try to replicate this?

1. Go to http://www.speedtest.net
2. Wait for the page to load
3. Reload the page (F5 / Reload Button)

I just added rateaccept.net to my filter list to get rid of the ad.

[Kraust]

And the suspect:
