Adblock message on chip.de, although the adblocker is deactivated - what to do?
Even if you have already deactivated adblock or whitelisted chip.de, it can still happen that the adblock message is still displayed as an overlay. It will ask you to disable Adblock. We will show you how to solve the problem and surf on CHIP undisturbed.
Background: message despite adblock deactivated
Unfortunately, in addition to the well-known ad blockers, there are other programs that block advertising. These include, for example, virus scanners and browser plugins. These "blockers" must also be deactivated so that the message on chip.de disappears. In the next paragraph, we show the most common problems and how to fix them.
Permanently remove adblock message on CHIP
If you have already whitelisted CHIP in your adblock program and still see the overlay, please try the following steps to solve the problem. If you have not yet whitelisted CHIP, first follow these instructions.
- Antivirus software: Some antivirus programs block advertisements on websites. To check whether this is the case with your software, go to the settings and look for a corresponding function. Either disable them completely or add chip.de as an exception.
- Company networks: Company networks can also block advertising. If you are connected to the Internet via one, the adblock message on CHIP can be triggered. In this case please contact us via . In many cases we can add exceptions to the corporate network.
- Script blocker: Script blockers are sometimes also identified as ad blockers - eg Ghostery or uBlock Origin. Therefore, check in the settings whether your script blocker deactivates advertising. If this is the case, create an exception for chip.de.
- Browser add-ons: An add-on from your browser could also prevent the page from being displayed correctly. Switch to the private mode of your browser as a test and see if the problem still occurs. In incognito mode, addons are usually deactivated.
- DoNotTrack function: Firefox has the DoNotTrack function. As long as the function is active, this can also lead to parts of the page being blocked. Click on the protective shield in front of the URL and deactivate the protection for this page (see screenshot). The page updates and you can surf on chip.de as usual.
