Block Popup pages while streaming

[alangama]

Hi,

Sometimes I love watching videos in services just like openload or doodstream.

The problem is : especially in Android, there are annoying popup pages just like Aliexpress or even worst : sexcam webpages who popup when I advance the video…

I would like to know if a anti-pop-up ads list exist to prevent those sites to popup.

I use almost everything : uAssets lists, Adguard lists… Nothing is actually working.

Thank you.

@alangama These sites seem really shady/illegal to begin with, and if they're serving you constant annoying and explicit ads I would consider using other (and likely more legal) services for entertainment.

If we're talking about blocking ads on smartphone apps, well good luck with that, as my impression is that there's very little that can be done about it. Especially if these apps need to be installed using downloaded APK's - you're basically on your own there mate.

Whether it's legal or not, I don't understand why the Vivaldi ad and tracker blocker is currently unable to block popup pages. The Raymond Hill extension (Ublock Origin) prevents annoying pages from being displayed. That's it.

@Gwen-Dragon Exactly. Thank you for understanding me.

Unlock Origin can disable too anti-blockers in every websites.

With my two lists on Vivaldi : Aaklist and Fuck fuckadblock, the result is not exactly the same.

Built-in browser, advert and tracker blocking is not the same as using an all-round blocker extension that includes things like blocking javascript (blocks most popups).

Using the native functionality requires locking down the site permissions more, as described in the post above (only do it with Vivaldi not Chrome).
You can also change the settings only for the site you are on by clicking on the padlock icon in the URL bar and selecting the site settings option.

Most browsers include the ability to block popups, but they can't block them all automatically or you block things like login popups.
However You can put the browser in lock-down mode by setting all the defaults to deny, and then only allow functionality in sites you trust.
It breaks many sites and is a pain to unlock everything for all the sites you use but you won't get any popups.

Depending on where the popups are served from the domain based blocking may not work.
If the popups are generated on the same domain you need those advanced blocking methods.

As for android apps for blocking, I recommend using ones that let you also change the DNS and use the blocklists as HOST files.
