Block Video Ads

Post by RubberDuckie »

Is there a simple working firefox plugin that will block the ads in CNN, FoxNews, .... videos? I am tired of 30 second advertisements for a 10 second news video.

No way I'm aware of. They are in the video stream so I doubt it's possible.

I hate them too but I don't think there's any way around them.

Now I can not find a plugin for 7

Actually they are not part of the stream...they are a frontend.

I know that I use AdBlock Plus and I rarely see ads, especially on Youtube and such. Don't know about CNN or whatnot but it's a place to start.
