Blocking ads on TBN with Adware Plus...

Wrong, wrong and wrong again. Adware Plus shows up in the Chrome extensions list as on. But, in fact the ONLY thing I could do is turn the radio button to off. There is nowhere I can adjust anything, and it doesn't appear at Chrome's header, so there is NOTHING to do to make it work, other than an uninstall then reinstall.

What happens when you right click on the icon in the upper-right corner (assuming there is one)? Every Chrome extension I use will give a drop down list, options or settings being one of them.

I'm using Firefox and uBlock Origin 1.18.4 ... for many sites.

I can click on the icon at the right of the taskbar... and BEHOLD, I can turn off the blocker for this site.

(did so after a recent discussion such as this)

Because I use a computer vs smart-crutch to log into TBN there is lots of room on a page for the bits I come to see, and like Moss I don't find the ads as annoying as informative. I'm so d__ independent I can also go for days without logging in at all.

That said, "there is something wrong with everything, sometimes you just have to care enough to pi$$ about it to those who might give a d__." (not that we always do ...)

IMO, Rules exist to allow the most capable among us to live richly while obeying them. Many who fail write their own but try to blame others for the results. I'm good.

An old mentor of mine once told me I could run a machine or let a machine run me. That applies to computers as well. :laughing:

Go into Adblock plus options and unclick the allow non intrusive ads box. There are a few other options on that page also that you may want to look at. Seems like every time there is an update it changes the settings to allow non intrusive ads.

Thanks..

I'm not using an apple product, and am dealing with banner ads at the top of each thread page before the actual posts as one reads down the page. TBN's revenue stream is not my issue- it's theirs. I don't watch or listen to TV ads, I don't want to have to have ads in threads I read and or write in, either.
If TBN wants to institute pay for subscription- bring it on.

I am looking for a way to get Adblock Plus to kill the banner/header ads now present on my Chrome browser. Anyone with knowledge to do so please check in.

Thanks,

CM

The title of the thread says "Blocking ads on TBN with Adware Plus...".

Your post says Adblock Plus

I'm guessing you mean Adblock Plus, not Adware Plus? :confused3:

We get to post #11 before anyone attempts to answer your question with relative info, that being you're not running an Apple product, you are running Chrome, and you are running Adblock Plus.

Ha, Ha, those are the products I own, no advertising needed, they speak for themselves. :thumbsup:

Thanks to some thread responders I have solved the issue.
Thanks to others who seem to think because I don't want ads that equates to my wanting everything 'for free,' I won't be detailing the solution to the problem.
BTW, one has nothing to do with the other. Those who think you're right, just because you have an opinion, are not. You want to support TBN, try donating your own money instead of telling me what I should be doing with my life.

CM out.

Post #16 you say you have solved the issue, but you don't mention how you've done that. It would be nice to share the info with the folks that tried to help you, and for future people looking for a solution to that same problem.

I've moved on to something else and ads are no longer a problem. I'm sure you know what making assumptions makes you.... ...jumble this....

Did the uninstall/reinstall resolve it, or was it something else?

Post 14 precisely details the answer to remove the "unintrusive ads" at the top . I implemented it and got rid of them. Which was the exact question CM asked, but apparently glossed over. It looks like I am the only one that benefited from this thread. Woo Hoo for me.
