I tried to configure Chromium to stop loading adverts on a particular website. After half an hour of fighting with embedded frames/JavaScript/etc. eventually I managed to block half a dozen CDNs and add servers. A week later to my surprise I saw adverts loading again when I visited the same website! What the ... ? They are rotating CDN addresses and domain names, probably to make user attempts to block their payload futile. What annoys me most is websites which download GB of advertising videos and won't stop whatever you try. Some will continue to download c*ap on your PC even after you leave the page! Chromium has a setting to block this, but I have not tested it to see whether it works as ... advertised. :-) -- Regards, Mick
