Adblock Plus 3.8: Support your favorite content creators Whitelisting gets more comfortable Cologne - 19 February 2020 Adblock Plus 3.8 for Chrome, Firefox and Opera has been released. The new version includes a feature that helps users to whitelist a single article or Youtube video with just a click instead of whitelisting an entire website. Adblock Plus 3.8 is available for the new Microsoft Edge as well and has moved from beta to the full version. Adblock Plus’ mission is to give users control over what they see online. Of course, that always included the option to not block ads on specific websites, but this feature becomes even more convenient with the new version. Previously, users had to remember to turn Adblock Plus on again each time they visited other parts of the website if they didn’t want to see loads of blinking advertisements. Now whitelisting is more comfortable and users don’t have to think about re-activating their ad blocker anymore. Additionally, users maybe don’t want to support the whole website, but only a dedicated content piece on sites like Youtube. Both issues have been solved with the new version. This is a feature that the community wished for and Adblock Plus has listened to their feedback. Speaking of listening and feedback: Getting in touch with our users is incredibly valuable for a company that is so closely linked to the Open Source Community, and we want to give Adblock Plus users even more possibilities to communicate with us and tell us where we can get better. Thus we have included an option to contact our support team directly. It was always possible to contact user support when it came to advertisements that were not blocked, but it was not possible to give feedback on the extension itself. With Adblock Plus 3.8, we want to get in touch with our users even more, but we also want to improve every single bit and byte of our extension beyond ad blocking. About eyeo eyeo is the developer of a suite of products that includes Adblock Browser and Adblock Plus, an open source project that aims to rid the Internet of annoying and intrusive online advertising.

Blocking Ad Blockers, 16 J. MARSHALL REV
THE JOHN MARSHALL REVIEW OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW BLOCKING AD BLOCKERS TYLER BARBACOVI ABSTRACT The prevalence of ad blocking software (software that prevents the loading of web based advertisements) is a growing problem for website owners and content creators who rely on advertising revenue to earn money. While the number of ad block users continues to increase, there has thus far been no significant legal challenge to ad blocking in the United States. This comment examines how a website owner, through a combination of technological improvements and the anti-circumvention provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, could successfully raise a legal challenge against the purveyors of ad blocking software.

Understanding Ad Blockers
Understanding Ad Blockers A Major Qualifying Project Submitted to the Faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science In Computer Science By _________________________________ Doruk Uzunoglu March 21, 2016 _______________________ Professor Craig E. Wills, Project Advisor Professor and Department Head Department of Computer Science ABSTRACT This project aims to provide useful information for users and researchers who would like to learn more about ad blocking. Three main research areas are explored in this project. The first research area provides general information about ad blocking tools and aims to explore ad blockers from a user’s perspective. The second research area provides analyses regarding thirdparty sites that appear on popular firstparty sites in order to explore the behavior of thirdparties. Finally, the third research area provides analyses regarding filter lists, which are sets of ad filtering rules used by ad blocking tools. The third research area aims to convey the differences and similarities between individual filter lists as well as sets of filter lists that form the defaults of ad blocking tools. 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Professor Craig Wills for advising my project, providing insight, and gathering the popular thirdparty domains data which I analyzed as part of this project. In addition, I would like to thank Jinyan Zang for sharing the thirdparty data regarding mobile apps, which they have gathered as part of their 2015 paper named “Who Knows What About Me? A Survey of Behind the Scenes Personal Data Sharing to Third Parties by Mobile Apps.” The data provided by Jinyan Zang was also analyzed as part of this project.

Ad-blocking's im- mense-and growing-popularity suggests the depth of Internet users'frustra- tion with Internetadvertising. But its potential to disruptpublishers' traditional Internet revenue model makes ad-blocking one of the most significant recent Internetphenomena. Unsurprisingly,publishers are not inclined to accept ad- blocking without a legal fight. While publishers are threatening suits in the United States, the issues presented by ad-blocking have been extensively liti- gated in German courts where ad-blocking consistently has triumphed over claims that it represents a form of unfair competition.

Ad-Blocking Threats on Online Advertising
Ad-Blocking Threats on Online Advertising Riris Endah Respati1, Irwansyah2 {[email protected], [email protected]} Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Universitas Indonesia, Indonesia1,2 Abstract. Ad-blocking is the act of the user consciously avoiding online advertising by installing a computer program that can automatically block ads. If there is no advertisement displayed on a website, there is no revenue from online advertising. In 2016, estimated global loss from the use of ad-blocking was $1.4 billion. The purpose of this research is to provide input to the advertisers about the threat of ad-blocking by using a qualitative approach with a desk review method. Several ways for advertisers, publishers, and ad networks to face ad-block is to ask website visitors to turn off ad-blocking extensions, put their websites in the white list, or disguise ad. If the online advertising world wants to succeed in fighting ad-blocking, they need to create advertisements that not disrupt users' convenience, switch to electronic word of mouth, or advertise through endorse on social media such as Instagram, Twitter, or YouTube. Keywords: Advertising, Ad-Blocking, Industry, Threat 1 Introduction Advertising is a form of marketing communication that uses various ways to have an impact on the thoughts, feelings, and behavior of the consumers [1].
