I wanted to add these other screenshot from a different website. I didn't want you to think it was just happening on one of the "Tom's" sites only.

Not reproduced on my device and desktop browser. We do not block that prices, they are not ads(actual prices in popular stores).
If they are blocked by foreign filters, please write to their authors.

I don't think I explained it right, the issue is every ad being blocked on
every website I visit is suddenly showing big gray blocks where the ad
was. I haven't changed any settings and I checked with foreign filters
disabled.

Also this is on chrome mobile not desktop.

@d0x360 Hi. Please check without foreign filters. On my device I see Screenshot 2("best deals") from the first message.

[d0x360]

I will disable that filter and report back tomorrow evening. That should give me enough time to visit various sites..

[d0x360]

Haven't had a chance today to do any real browsing. I had an MRI today and a couple Dr appointments that I forgot where today so I'll have the update tomorrow. I'm just too tired to stare at my phone.

Sorry for the delay.

[d0x360]

Ok I'm not seeing the big empty spaces since disabling foreign filters. I had China and Russia selected.

I am still seeing weird stuff on Tom's hardware but it's completely random and I can't reproduce for more than 24 hours before it changes.

[d0x360]

Just when things were looking ok... I got this site. I still have foreign filters turned off

[Alex-302]

I got this site

Link to techradar.com?

[d0x360]

Yeah sorry I know this started as a potential issue with Tom's hardware but it ended up with me seeing those blank blocks on other sites so I was posting my findings. On the tech radar site I had 2 huge empty spaces. I also continue to get random empty spaces or overlays on Tom's hardware but they can't be reproduced for very long. Like I said before I think they are testing something

The URL for the page in the screenshot is https://www.techradar.com/amp/news/google-may-have-been-spying-on-other-android-apps-you-use

The only filters I disabled were foreign language as advised for Tom's hardware.

Here's another example of a gap that is where the ad was. URL is (also happening on nypost.com) https://www.tweaktown.com/news/74079/nvidia-releases-new-geforce-451-85-hotfix-drivers/amp.html

[Alex-302]

Added some rules for tweaktown.com

[d0x360]

Updated to the new rules and checked the site and it's working properly now. Still having issues (randomly) on "Tom's" sites but whatever you changed fixed the gaps I was seeing on multiple sites for the last couple weeks.

Thanks!
