While I agree with the difference, it should still be possible to block these types of ads with some kind of firewall. Unless the OS is blocking the blocking at a lower level (which I&#x27;d be VERY surprised by), something like Privoxy and using that as the system proxy for http[s] should be able to knock these out if they&#x27;re loaded dynamically. I haven&#x27;t tested this, so it would require some inspection and network monitoring to figure out what&#x27;s serving these. Some hosts file entries may even be enough.
