If a message regarding the use of an adblocker interrupts the playback of the film prematurely, the following reasons may be responsible:
- Private Mode in your Browser:
Many browsers block certain content by default in private mode (Google Chrome: Incognito Mode, Microsoft Edge: Private Mode, Mozilla Firefox: Private Browsing, etc.) - Activated Tracking Protection:
This may be enabled directly in the browser or controlled by a security program (e.g., antivirus software, firewall, internet security). - Adblocker Active:
Adblockers can block content and are known by various names. They may be installed as a browser extension/add-on or controlled through a security program.
Important to note:
Security Programs
Programs such as Kaspersky, Avira, AVG, Norton, BitDefender, and others can block tracking or advertisements (e.g., banners). To disable an adblocker (or banner protection, etc.) or tracking protection for a specific website the settings of the installed extension or the settings of the installed security program need to be adjusted.
Do Not Deactivate Security Programs!
Security programs are crucial for your device's safety and should not be simply deactivated or uninstalled. However, you can add a specific website to an exception list to ensure that certain controls, such as tracking protection or ad blocking, are disabled for that website.
Check for Multiple Blockages
It’s possible that a single issue may occur in multiple places. For example, if you disable the ad-blocking feature in your browser but it remains active in your security program, the problem will persist. Ensure that all relevant settings are checked and adjusted where necessary.
If you continue to experience issues, review all possible settings or consult a computer specialist for assistance.
