Ads came back

[Kuro-23]

Today I got the ads even with 0.0.0.0 outlookads.live.com applied in the hosts file. Maybe microsoft changed the url?

[Pyenb]

Hm, could be. I will take a look at this when I have time.
I switched to Thunderbird in the meantime, but I still have outlook installed, so should be no problem 👍

new ad url: https://m.adnxs.com/ut/v3
block this

[Kuro-23]

It's working great. thx!

new ad url: https://m.adnxs.com/ut/v3 block this

Hi, can you please explain how to use this?

[Pyenb]

I updated the script. @ABucket Thank you for the input. Do you know if I'll still need to block both domains or only that one? I don't really have the time currently to check.

[7ergei]

Installed new script and it works, thanks @Pyenb !

Only that one, there's another domain https://www.bing.com/api/v1/mediation/clientauction that also contains the ads, but seems like blocking that one is enough

[Pyenb]

Ah ok, thanks. As long as it's one the single one it's relatively easy. But with host files you can only block the domain as a whole, so to block https://www.bing.com/api/v1/mediation/clientauction, you would need to block the entire bing.com domain. But as long as it's only the subdomain for now, it won't be a problem.

Here's what it should look like if you wish to do it manually.

0.0.0.0 outlookads.live.com
0.0.0.0 m.adnxs.com

[Kuro-23]

I have those 2 in the host file:
0.0.0.0 outlookads.live.com
0.0.0.0 m.adnxs.com
but now I get microsoft outlook own ad... "Upgrade your account to premium" or something mine is in Italian.

I also have these 2 in the host file:
0.0.0.0 outlookads.live.com
0.0.0.0 m.adnxs.com

but getting "Upgrade your account" ads

EDIT: https://github.com/valinet/NewOutlookPatcher works, no ads and not even any placeholder blank space where the ads were - just straight to the emails

[Pyenb]

Yeah, it's a good repo. While being more intrusive, it really removes everything. I will still have a look if I can remove the new ads
