cnn.com: ads

[Kylgos]

You see ads when starting videos on CNN's website (www.cnn.com). These ads last several seconds. Occurs with Complete mode enabled.

An example of a video displaying an annoying full screen advertisement: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/09/23/politics/video/james-carville-mary-matalin-intv-ac360-marriage-digvid

I can reproduce in chromium. Somehow the removeparam filters can't be applied to this site with uBOL "Complete" mode:

uAssets/filters/filters-2023.txt

Lines 3751 to 3757 in e444ad1

	||warnermediacdn.com/csm*prof=$xhr,removeparam=prof,domain=cnn.com

. Not sure if it's related to uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home#140 ?

A workaround may be using uritransform:

||warnermediacdn.com/csm*.m3u8^$xhr,3p,uritransform=/&(?:afid|app_csid|caid|conf_csid|prof)=[^&]+//g,domain=cnn.com

?

uritransform is not available for uBOL?

Ok, I think this works:

cnn.com##+js(set, FAVE.settings.ads.ssai.prod.clips.enabled, false)

Which browser are you using?

Google Chrome.

It seemed to be solved but after accepting CNN's cookie consent, another ad or the same ad appears.

If you are using uBOL, you'll need to wait until next version update.

Confirmed fixed in latest stable release.
