I've got no idea how to get Glimmer Blocker to apply the rules to sites that use " https:" or how to stop you being signed into YouTube with it using an " https:" URL but that is where the problem lies. Trouble is since YouTube joined up with Google+ and you're a YouTube channel user it now sign you into your channel using an " https:" URL and thus Glimmer Blocker can't/ won't use your new blocking rules. It seems Glimmer Blocker can only block links with URLS that use " http:" and either can't or somehow misses blocking links using " https:". Now try the same video but this time being viewed from a link using " http:" (ie: without the "s") Ten seconds in one of those annoying ads pops up. On the subject of blocking in video ads in YouTube videos and it no longer actually working on YouTube itself any longer, I have discovered the following.Īlthough the filter does indeed block in video ads on most YouTube videos when you view them elsewhere ie: if someone has posted a YouTube video on a forum or other site for example, it still actually does work on YouTube itself but only if the actual URL in your browsers URL bar starts with " http:" and not " https:".įor example, try this following video from a link using " https:". The above filter should block all those annoying in video ads on both Vevo and Daily Motion Add a "Rule" and enter " 9cf9.v." (without the quotes) into the " Host:" field. Then Click on Save in the "Rule" window.ģ.

Add a "Rule" and enter " Video2AdRenderer.swf" (without the quotes) into the " Host:" field. Add a "Filter"and call it for example "Vevo Ad Blocker".Ģ. Then Click on Save in the "Rule" window.ġ. Add a "Rule" and enter " ad." (without the quotes) into the " Host:" field. Add a "Rule" and enter " " (without the quotes) into the " Host:" field. Add a "Filter"and call it for example "Daily Motion Ad Blocker".Ģ. Just follow the same steps as I described earlier and in the "Host" option enter the following to set up new ad blocking rules. Here's a list of "Rules" you can use in GlimmerBlocker to block those annoying in video adverts on "Vevo" and "Daily Motion". Tested on an iMac 27" i5 running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.7 🙂 I suppose you could just use "Glimmer Blocker" as your only "Ad Blocker" but I prefer to use "AdBlock" as it's smaller and uses less resources but with "Glimmer Blocker" installed as well it finally means that you can get rid of YouTube video ads too when using Safari 5.x & Snow Leopard.

Now you will find all those annoying pop up banner ads in YouTube videos are gone for good. (The most important bit to set is the " Host" section which must be set to "is in domain" and using " " in the text field) Now simply set it up as shown in the following picture and click on " Save". Now in the " Rules" window below click on the " +" sign below that to add a new rule. (Make sure only the new filter you create is ticked - you don't need the rest if your using "AdBlock" as well) Give the filter a name (I simply called it YouTube). Un-tick/ deselect all the boxes in the "Filters" section then click on the " +" sign below the "Filters" window to add a new filter.
Adblock for safari 5.1.7 install#
Simply download and install "Glimmer Blocker" which will set up a new "Preference Pane" for you.Ĭlick on the " Glimmer Blocker" preference pane and then select " Filters" from the tab bar. (download the version fos OX 10.6 Version 1.4.16 for Safari 5 on Snow Leopard) Now you will also need " GlimmerBlocker" which can be found here. You will need or probably already have installed the AdBlock extensions for Safari if not you can find it here. Happily it's now easy to fix with the following solution.
In Safari Ver 5.x running in Snow Leopard one of the most annoying things is the fact that the AdBlock extension while doing a good job simply doesn't block those annoying banner/ pop up ads in YouTube videos.
