I guess Amazon has done some kind of buy in with AdBlock and Amazon ads are no longer blocked using my pop up blocker. There are so many ads on Amazon it's taking forever for the pages to load...I am not a fan. Plus, it's visually messy and I don't like visual clutter.
I have tried to find a work around to get those ads to stop showing but have not had any success.
If you have, can you please tell me what I need to do? And just curious, am I the only one that noticed the change and is having issues?

I have AdBlockPlus and the only ads I see are Amazon banners. Nothing for other companies, just Amazon stuff.

I use chrome (not sure if that makes a difference) and every so often I have to go into the browser settings and click the adblock off and then back on (and then refresh the page that had the ads to get rid of them.)

I don't see why it would block amazons own banners on Amazon. They have always shown for me.

It's the Amazon banners and Amazon ads in the sidebar. I didn't used to see them. Adblock used to block them because I never had all that clutter before. Something is most definitely different in how the site loads (for me anyway). Amazon is the only site I've had trouble with and it's been since I started seeing those ads.

Where the arrows are pointing; that's what I didn't used to see. I think that's what is slowing the loading down. It just doesn't make sense that Amazon is the only site I'm having an issue with. And I use Amazon allll the time. Attachments:

But those are amazons ads on their own site. Adblock isn't supposed to get rid of those. I think you will just have to deal with it.

@miss Ang - those just recently showed up on amazon for me, too. i just figured since it's their ads on their site they can do what they want. it does slow down the loading a bit.
