Anti Banner not working at all?

[John1509]

Hello,

"Anti Banner" is enabled in both my Kaspersky program and the browser extension and still it doesn't block a single Ad.

I also tried it with a new created browser profile and only Kaspersky Extension installed, still no Ads are blocked.

I'm using Edge as main browser, and its up-to-date.

I don't want to use uBlock Origin or the "Lite" version of it because, even though I have a 2024 high-end gaming PC built, they consume a hell of performance.

Welcome to Kaspersky Community.

 

Can You provide versions of K. product installed and browser?

 

Anti-Banner module by default comes disabled, I guess You already turned it on.

And what about the browser using? FF, Edge, Chrome? Do You get the issue in all the 3 supported browsers or?

Edge is my main browser. I just also tried Google Chrome and Firefox, nothing.

Hum can You provide an example of not blocking ads, to try to reproduce the problem in my system?

I think that uBlock Origin is more efficient, and it consumes probably less resources than K. Anti-Banner, also it is more customizable and flexible... that's why I personally don't use K. Anti-Banner, but use uBlock Origin in my main browser -> Mozilla FireFox.

Uhm, I just go to YouTube and see if any of the Ads are being blocked.

Right now I'm using AdGuard, which is significantly less performance consuming than uBlock Origin.

But you're right, uBlock Origin is the most customizable and flexible AdBlockers out there.

(Idk if you followed the uBlock Origin Mega Thread on Reddit but YouTube has started to flag YouTube accounts for using AdBlockers, which means even if you disable or even uninstall ALL AdBlockers, you're account remains flagged.)

that's why I personally don't use K. Anti-Banner, but use uBlock Origin in my main browser -> Mozilla FireFox.

Yeah, many, many people say or even recommend using FireFox + uBlock Origin but this doesn't help at all, especially if your YouTube account has already been flagged by YouTube.

Edit: I see you've reacted with a confused emoji to my response concerning which other browser I tried.

That confusion is most likely because you probably don't know about the YouTube flagging issue xdd

Weird, I use YouTube + uBlock O. daily and don't get any warning 🤔

While I've found a temporary workaround by using one of my 20 YouTube alt accounts, this is clearly not a sustainable long-term solution.
