[SOLVED] Chromium 32 allows ads on youtube despite ad blocker.
Does anyone else experienced this?
I have AdBlock and I have also tried with with Adblock Plus with the same result.
This is build into chromium to not block ads on youtube player but blocks ads everywhere else, at least where I'm navigating.
I've downgraded to chromium 31.0.1650.63-2 and no more ads on youtube player.
I've also added chromium in IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf .
This is very sad since I really liked chromium and chose it over firefox but when it's development is guided by google anything can happen, which is mostly bad.
Firefox does not have this issue with the same plugins/extensions.
I know there is SRWare Iron but I'd rather stay with a older version of chromium or switch to firefox.
Feel free to share you thoughts about this...
EDIT:
I just found Adblock for Youtube™
Hmm, I thought that should be integrated in a AdBlock extension and not be separated.
EDIT 2 :
EPIC FAIL !
Adblock for Youtube™ FAILS TOO !!!

Open a report upstream?

Re: [SOLVED] Chromium 32 allows ads on youtube despite ad blocker.
It's been confirmed to be an upstream bug:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issu … ?id=332481
Comment #22 mentions that the fix can't be easily merged into the Chromium 32/33 branches, so it might remain broken until Chromium 34.
As a workaround, you can install PPAPI Flash which is the plugin included with Google Chrome and doesn't exhibit this problem:

Thanks for replying, this gives me hope to stay with chromium.
