How To Block YouTube Ads In Safari 5.x (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...
Happily it's now easy to fix with the following solution...
You will need or probably already have installed the AdBlock extensions for Safari if not you can find it here...
https://extensions.apple.com/
Now you will also need "GlimmerBlocker" which can be found here...
http://glimmerblocker.org/
(download the version fos OX 10.6 Version 1.4.16 for Safari 5 on Snow Leopard)
Simply download and install "Glimmer Blocker" which will set up a new "Preference Pane" for you...
Click on the "Glimmer Blocker" preference pane and then select "Filters" from the tab bar...
Un-tick/ deselect all the boxes in the "Filters" section then click on the "+" sign below the "Filters" window to add a new filter...
Give the filter a name (I simply called it YouTube)...
(Make sure only the new filter you create is ticked - you don't need the rest if your using "AdBlock" as well)
Now in the "Rules" window below click on the "+" sign below that to add a new rule...
Now simply set it up as shown in the following picture and click on "Save"...
(The most important bit to set is the "Host" section which must be set to "is in domain" and using "2mdn.net" in the text field)
Now you will find all those annoying pop up banner ads in YouTube videos are gone for good...
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....
Tested on an iMac 27" i5 running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.7

Here's a list of "Rules" you can use in GlimmerBlocker to block those annoying in video adverts on "Vevo" and "Daily Motion"...
Just follow the same steps as I described earlier and in the "Host" option enter the following to set up new ad blocking rules...
To Block In Video Ads On Daily Motion...
1. Add a "Filter"and call it for example "Daily Motion Ad Blocker"...
2. Add a "Rule" and enter "fwmrm.net" (without the quotes) into the "Host:" field. Then Click on Save in the "Rule" window...
3. Add a "Rule" and enter "ad.auditude.com" (without the quotes) into the "Host:" field. Then Click on Save in the "Rule" window...
To Block In Video Ads On Vevo...
1. Add a "Filter"and call it for example "Vevo Ad Blocker"...
2. Add a "Rule" and enter "Video2AdRenderer.swf" (without the quotes) into the "Host:" field. Then Click on Save in the "Rule" window...
3. Add a "Rule" and enter "9cf9.v.fwmrm.net" (without the quotes) into the "Host:" field. Then Click on Save in the "Rule" window...
The above filter should block all those annoying in video ads on both Vevo and Daily Motion

How to block popup ads

Hi,
I accidentally installed jollywallet and I immidiately uninstalled it but I keep getting popup ads on Safari and Chrome
ever since I did that. Popup block is on but ads keep appearing and I would like to remove them if anyone can help me to get rid of them.
When Enable Javascript is ticked, it does not show up but it effects some websites that I would like to see.
Thank you in advance for helping me.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

How to block youtube on ipad4

I would like to block youtube on ipad 4, does anyone have suggestions
to try as I have looked at restrictions in settings and there is no area to block.
Hope someone may have an answer
thanks in advance

The only way to access youtube ifyour iPad has iOS6 is to block safari in restrictions, or use a third party parental control browser, while blocking safari, and put youtube in the 'nono' list.
There may be some old instructions out there that say you can block youtube via restrictions, but those only apple to a device running something less than iOS6 (the youtube app was removed from iDevices with iOS6)

How to block pop-ups in Safari 8

How do I block pop-ups in Safari 8.
Since I purchased a new Mac with system 10,2, Safari is driving me nuts with constant pop-ups
The is no «block pop-up windows» in this version.

Safari 8's control for this is in the Security tab of its preferences, and is on by default.
If needed, click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

Block popups/Ads on safari

Because safari wasn't downloading fast enough,someone suggested using firefox with the download it all plugin.Ever since that,I am getting a lot of popups & ads on safari similar to junk you get on pcs.What's going on? Is there anything I could do to get safari to be the good ol one?

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.

Why cant see youtube video in safari

sombody can tell me how can see youtube video in safari?

Click here > http://www.youtube.com/
If you can't stream YouTube content try troubleshooting the Flash plugin.
Quit Safari.
Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin before reinstalling.
If you are running v10.7 Lion open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
If you aren't running v10.7 Lion, skip that step.
Now launch Safari. From your Safari menu bar top of your screen, click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.
If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
When you post for help, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed. Troubleshooting suggestions may be based on that information. Thanks

HI,
Sorry, blocking Flash Player plugin isn't possible but you can uninstall it.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
The problem with that is if you visit sites that require Flash content, you won't be able to view it and the page will likely freeze or crash Safari.

Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Tool. Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
OS X Mavericks- Protect your Mac from malware
About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
     is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

How to get rid of Pop Ups, Pop Unders and YouTube ads

Ever since AdBlock stopped working in Safari, I've searched til no end for another program, or extension, that will get rid of all pop ups, pop unders, and YouTube ads and banners for Safari. Nothing.
This astounds me because I've never known Mac gurus to not be on top of somthing like this. Are there any alternatives? I only use Safari and not Firefox or Chrome.
I've downloaded Glimmer Blocker but it doesn't stop pop-unders at all. Is there a hack to get it to? What is everyone else doing? I can't imagine people are just putting up with the bombardment of ads! Please, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Greetings!
Just to double check but did you made sure to download the latest version of the extension and ensure that it was enabled inside the Safari setting's menu?
