»www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp···25000117 from »www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24999650 (an amazing story too).
I noticed it had ads. Is there a way to block these ads (at the bottom) inside Flash like we do wwith ad blocker?  |

If you want to watch their content the ads come with it sorry to say. A lot of sites doing that now, you have to pay the bill's.

You can set the Flash killbit with SpywareBlaster, but it kills all Flash.

| Um, plase read what I said. Ads inside Flash. Did you watch the video? It will show you videos, menus, and ads inside Flash.
I have FlashBlock for blocking Flash. :P

Although I am not sure which Privoxy filter is doing it, or if I am just insanely lucky, I don't often see those ads inserted into a flash video.
Normally the only site I go to with such ads is the escapist--gotta love Zero Punctuation--and I don't see their ads. I also didn't see any on the link provided. There was also one other site where privoxy clearly blocked an ad, but it was loaded from doubleclick prior to the actual video I had wanted to watch. All I got a blank player for a while.

Interesting. That gets me an idea. I should use a sniffer to see what this MSN video is downloading.
And nice, another SeaMonkey user.

Orbit's GrabIt detected and downloaded (25000117 -- always a different number for each reload/refresh):
»www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp···25000117) and others (mostly media playlists).
I saw a few ads-related ones like: this.setId=function(s){s=s.replace(/root1/,"");This.adRef=s+"/adMC";};
I only needed to find keywords and/or domains related to ads. Oh well!

Same stuff with Yahoo news, the streams are contiguous. I've found, though, that Yahoo will often stream 2 or 3 stories between 15 second commercials rather than between every story.
It's even worse than TV -

Want an ad in Flash that will drive you crazy? Try having to watch the "Billy Beckett is an idiot" ad from MSN. I've seen it so many times, I know it by heart. |
