I'm new to this ad block thing, so if someone can answer a couple questions, I would really appreciate it. There's two version of ad block; Ad block and Ad Block Plus, Which one is more optimal for Google Chrome and better overall? I heard that Ad Block plus doesn't work too well with Google Chrome, is this true? Thanks in advance for your help.

I was wondering if someone can help me, i get ads at the top of TL, but not on streams, i dont think i have an adblock on.

Im using FF, but theres no adblock option i can see and ctrl-shift-O just sends me to users/public/public videos/sample videos

EDIT: what region are ads generally for? i am from NZ, so could it be there arent many ads for NZ?

Not getting ads on stream is normal for some regions where no ads are sold, or if you watch a lot of streams you may reach the cap on ads shown per day.

Both don't work really well, because Google Chrome does not let them block adds in videos, because youtube is a google company. Besides that, Adblock plus works relatively well. If you want a fully working addblock get adblock plus for firefox. You can then disable it, for sites you still want to support by getting adds.

I've disabled the ad-block on Chrome as per the instructions in the op. I'm getting a green thumbs up where the red hand used to be. However, I still see the crying elephant, what gives?

You should be at least a tiny little bit selective about the adds you allow. I am getting some stupid P2Win game commercial (Germany) that will fucking deafen me when I'm watching a stream.

We don't have any control over what ads appear on streams as they are not our ads.

So I've noticed that sometimes, intermittently, I'll see elly instead of ads, despite having adblock turned off for TL. All I've done to turn adblock off is click "disable for this site" and up until recently it was working fine. Is there another step I should be taking here? I've noticed this usually happens during slow internet times for me, so it might be related to that:

I sometimes get Elly on my other computer which doesn't even have AdBlock installed on it.

I turned off adblock and get tons of commercials on streams. I don't mind one or two in between games, happy to sit through them and support the players, but the pure amount of ads... Whenever I open or refresh a stream, I get an ad, even when it's during a game. Sometimes, for no particular reason, I get 2-3 ads instead of one when opening/refreshing a stream.
As I said I have no problem with the ads/banners/whatever on TL or streams, but when I open them on own3d or twitch I don't get this many ads, none when opening a stream...

Also, if you are using Ghostery extension for firefox, then you need to whitelist this domain regardles of whether adblock is disabled for the domain.

I've tried to whitelist TL.net many times but with no success... Today I disabled adblock completely and I still get the "Don't hurt the elephant" banner. Any ideas why?

Edit: got a banner on the main page today but not it's the elephant again.

I have the exact same thing. I'm using Chrome and the AdBlock extension. I have www.teamliquid.net whitelisted and the icon is green with a thumbs-up instead of red with the universal / western handsign for stop. Yet I'm still confronted with the crying elephant. Disabling Adblock and then restarting pc has the same result.

I'm having haunting nightmares because of this. It starts with a long, dimly lighted hallway. Then, the crying elephant appears out of nowhere, just sitting there - alone, crying, while staring me straight in the eye. After that, one programer after another appears at the end of hallway, walking towards me while saying what a terrible person I am. The image of White-Ra telling me 'that you kills esports by blocksing the ads' has completely destroyed my self-image. The nightmare ends with Sheth and InControl walking towards me, hand in hand, both wearing a light blue child's dresses while singing a lullaby with spine chilling lyrics. They stop right in front of me, after which Sheth pulls out a pair of pliers and InControl threateningly reveals a blowtorch. They then state their intention to torture me to death. At this moment I wake up, covered in sweat, tears and tomato soup.

I have stopped eating, washing - caring about life in general - because of these nightmares. Can anybody save me?!

I still get Elly showing up on mine at that top 1/5 times with adblock disabled; I doubt it's something we can help. I always always always get an ad in the bottom right though. I also get Elly periodically on other computers running IE without any form of adblock. Elly making me sad for something I can't help
