Sorry. The website is infected by AdShield, Inc.

Unfortunately, It is complicated to resolve with a regular adblock rule because the website is being protected by service of Ad-Shield that is an anti-adblock company.

Userscript Installation

Please block Ad-Shield advertisement by installing tinyShield userscript. Please check its installation guideline written in English by visiting this URL.

If you can understand Korean language, please refer https://github.com/List-KR/tinyShield/blob/main/README.ko.md.

Still Have a Problem?

An issue is occurred when the userscript is applied, please report to this issue tracker.

Cannot reproduce with your settings (Pro version). Please try to disable-enable content blockers in Safari settings and restart Safari, and check for filters update. Do not close AdGuard window ~90 seconds, because iOS will break configuration process.

@SeriousHoax Done. The second is not reproduced.

@Alex-302 Actually turns out it's visible even in the desktop version. It's here on top right, not in the middle of the article like the mobile site:

@Alex-302 I'm tagging you again in case you didn't notice my last comment. Since it's there even on the desktop site, maybe you don't need a mobile specific rule? Please check.

@Alex-302 Hi! Same text is shown even in your screenshot but not in the middle of the article like on mobile. Check on top right above the Eng vs India scoreline in your screenshot.

Ok. Blocked. Better add arrows on screenshots.
