I tried to configure Chromium to stop loading adverts on a particular website. |
| 24 |
After half an hour of fighting with embedded frames/JavaScript/etc. eventually |
| 25 |
I managed to block half a dozen CDNs and add servers. A week later to my |
| 26 |
surprise I saw adverts loading again when I visited the same website! What |
| 27 |
the ... ? They are rotating CDN addresses and domain names, probably to make |
| 28 |
user attempts to block their payload futile. |

What annoys me most is websites which download GB of advertising videos and |
| 31 |
won't stop whatever you try. Some will continue to download c*ap on your PC |
| 32 |
even after you leave the page! Chromium has a setting to block this, but I |
| 33 |
have not tested it to see whether it works as ... advertised. :-) |
