As we all know, online video is a burning money industry, these sites in order to survive and expand profitability, have in front of the increase in some advertising. This is understandable, but to see a video longer than 10 minutes also need to wait for 60 seconds of advertising, I believe everyone will be depressed crazy.
Now a lot of computer management software and browsers have built-in advertising shielding function, but generally only for the web window ads and mounted ads, the front of the video ads is invalid, even if effective, sometimes will cause video can not play.
Recently, some netizens have recommended an advertising shield software-advertising assistant, the software has just launched, the current version is 1.0.0.1043, size 2.28MB, supported by Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8. The author tested a bit, the effect is really ideal, the mainstream video site before the video ads can be very good shielding, the following is the experience of the user process:
Test platform: Window 7 SP1 flagship 64-bit system +ie 9 browser
Test software: AD Assistant version number: 1.0.0.1043, support system: Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8.
First, Software Installation
The installation package is small
First we get the latest version of the ad assistant from the official website of advertising assistants. The installation package is very small, only 2.28MB, how is the effect?
Installation Interface
Open this Software installation interface, we can see this software installation interface a little bit fresh, if you remove the button on the high light and gradient effect is better.
Installation Interface
In addition, because of the small size, installation speed is also very fast, of course, also support the selection of installation directory. It will be selected by default to "boot Up", which is still necessary, to avoid watching the video when the start of the phenomenon occurred.
Second, the System interface
System interface
This software uses the flat style, the interface is more refreshing. As the main function is also the only function, the software provides "video advertising interception", "website advertising interception" and "software window interception" three major functions, can be opened independently, can also be a key to open.
No Options interface
It is worth mentioning that the main interface of this software does not have any "option" settings, only one contact QQ. Click on the QQ image will be prompted to add friends, each other's nickname is called "to 60 seconds video advertising assistant."
Third, the actual test
We used the Windows 7 self-contained IE 9 browser to open a number of websites (including, of course, mainstream online video sites) to see what the actual results were.
1, the website advertisement interception
The Hobo star site has ads
We open the Homeless star this site, if there is no advertising screen, the top of the page will appear a strip of advertising.
The ad's gone.
Turn on the ad shielding function, then press CTRL +F5 (that is, empty the cache reload the page), the result of the advertisement is gone.
In the download website shielding advertisement invalidation
When we tested a software download site, we found that its web advertising screen function failed.
This is the effect of a self-advertising screen browser function
2, video advertising interception
Youku
Music video Network
Archie Art
3, Window ads interception
QQ does not block
Most of the software on the author's machine is relatively duty-free, there is no window phenomenon. Of course, QQ is an exception, in the open "software pop-up interception" function, QQ can still pop-up window, should be according to its said, only in the game and video chat before shielding.
After the actual experience found that the major mainstream video site video 60 seconds before the ads do not really disappear, if the speed is fast enough, basically do not have to wait to smooth playback, if the speed does not give force, there will be a buffer screen. This also proves that the software is really effective.
Web ads also have a certain shielding effect, but not very comprehensive. As you can see in the test, some stubborn web ads can't be removed, and hopefully in the next release.
Show number of interceptions
When we returned to the software interface, a little bit stunned, it unexpectedly intercepted 89 of ads, of course, this is more than the front of the video ads, but also include ads on the Web page, as well as software window ads (if any).
Turn off the interception function, the ad will still be blocked
At the same time, we also found that the use of a period of time after the closure of the advertising screen, video advertising will not appear, should be the interception mechanism is still continuing to work.
Iv. continuing to explore
Right-click the icon to show the option
Does it have any other functions? Let's try right click on the software icon. You can find out the normal opening function and setting whether boot, at the top of the list also has a "repair video black screen" function.
As we mentioned at the beginning, some software, although it has the effect of shielding video ads, but it may cause video can not play the phenomenon (that is, black screen video).
Because the video playback has been good during the test, we can't really experience this feature. But when we try to click and see what the effect is, the software does get stuck, proving that it did the proper thing.
Five, it is very consumption of traffic?
The author in a software platform to check the software users feedback, users feedback that this software will occupy a large network traffic.
Network traffic is very large
Indeed, although the software has just begun to run, but still create a lot of network traffic, then we together to verify, what is the cause of the network traffic so large, we first to limit the software download traffic.
Shielding ads by intercepting video
In the course of normal video playback, we limit the software flow to 10kb/s, resulting in the pause and buffering of the online video.
By understanding, the original advertising assistant to intercept the advertising method, is hijacked video to eliminate video ads. Therefore, it is not surprising that this software occupies a large amount of traffic, when the video is closed, the flow rate of the software will also become 0.
