AllMusic & Ad Blocker

[jbscout]

Well this is annoying.

I am running Win10 and TGF 0.89b-Aug26

I go to AllMusic (Custom, #amg.so) and 2 unpleasant things happen.

1) An interstitial pops-up and informs me an Ad Blocker is detected and I need to disable it. I can't move on from there.

2) The scroll bars disappear in the viewing window. Which is annoying because I can only see 1/2 of the interstitial pop-up.


I am not sure how to fix this.

In Win <8, I was pretty sure TGF used an IE plugin/API to display the web content. Is TGF still using the IE plugin/API? IE is still lurking in Win10, but Edge has taken over.


Also, in neither IE nor Edge am I using an Ad Blocker.

What settings do I need to change?

How do I get past this (without a AllMusic subscription)?

Thanks

I don't use TGF to access AllMusic, I use TGF only locally.

In Firefox using Adblock Plus I had the same problem, so I disabled it on AllMusic.

IE11 is still a part of the Win10 OS nothing has changed at all, edge is just forced on new users as the default browser.
I just tried AMG on a Win10 machine and no pop up appears, it is a clean install so no 3rd party plugins or other software are installed. Can you double check that you actually are running a plugin free IE also run IE standalone and try to access allmusic and see what happens.

It may be my .hosts file that is blocking something.

When using AMG script there is a popup with following message: It appears that something in this browser is blocking advertisements from being displayed properly on our site.
How can I bypass this message?

Are you also using a server OS? TGF just uses your IE install to display web pages any site should display the exact same behavior in standalone IE or the program.
If something ( hosts file, security mode, add-on,router, firewall,and so on ) is blocking a URL that is considered an add source then you will get this message

@jtclipper

I'm using Windows 10 Pro. As far as IE is concerned I never modified anything as I use Firefox as my default browser.

[jtclipper]

Open the site from standalone IE , does the message appear ?

@jtclipper

It seems that today it is working again. Maybe Allmusic has some trouble concerning their website at the moment.

I am using addon for ads blocker but not any file music or video files even not their properties. If you have some ideas then let me know so that I can make a try.
