Dheuster Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Recently, when I visit nexus, I see slide in ads coming in from the lower right hand corner of the screen. They have different ads in them, and they are normally movies. The bandwitch is expensive and decreases the usability of the site. It also sometimes causes the browers to react slowly and even crash. Here are some screen shots. The slide in: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dheuster Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 Happens on Chrome and Edge. If I install an Ad Blocker, it stops. I don't see these slide in ads on any other sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dheuster Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) So... JUST FYI, The add blocker I am using allows you to right click an add and block it. It causes the ad blocker to examine the pages DOM, identify what you clicked on and prevent it from rendering based on attributes. In this case, the slide in menu came back as an iFrame on the nexus site with the name/id: google_ads_iframe_/58309977/nexusmods_0 Since I blocked that element, I haven't seen the slide in window or had any stability issues with nexus. Still running the ad-blocker, but I have an exception for nexus and other sites I support. And now my ad blocker has a filter for this element. So either one of two things: That element is being injected into the dom by another ad/javascript dependency library, or it is a part of the site by design (doubt it). Regardless, I have disabled the element as it appears to be what was causing my lag and stability issues. For anyone reading this with similar issues, I am using the Chrome extension "AdBlock" with the following custom filer: @@||www.nexusmods.com/$documentwww.nexusmods.com##IFRAME[id=google_ads_iframe_/58309977/nexusmods_0][name=google_ads_iframe_/58309977/nexusmods_0] If the name/id changes and the block stops working, I will update this post. UPDATE: After a few days, the number in the google ads iframe changed. So I had to make my filter more general and filter out all iframes: @@||www.nexusmods.com/$documentwww.nexusmods.com##IFRAME Edited July 29, 2018 by Dheuster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
