Adguard not blocking on Piratebay
What have you tried?
check settings nothing has changed on adguard, Used ublock orgin and ublock extra no luck, and adblockplus worked.
Hello Guys, I have been using adguard for 6 months or so their windows app I love the software. Recently though a Site I use quite a bit PirateBay I use a pirate bay proxy soooo much faster than the actual url, whole bunch of popups, redirects is happening adguard does block some but it used to block all. I also have ublock orgin on my chrome I enabled it to see if it could block it did not. So I installed Adblock Plus and it block the ads with ease. Is there a setting they recently messed with or did piratebay figure a way around adguard ad blocking? Maybe a certain filter needs to be added or what not. Only settings I have changed on adblock plus when I installed was unchecked allow useful ads block additional tracking and block social media icons. I have all that check in adguard.

Thank you guys hopefully it is a setting or something I love adguard so much but if I have to switch back to adblockplus( used for years before adguard) Will do.
 
Make sure you have Adguard Popup Blocker in the latest version (2.2.3), AdguardTeam/PopupBlocker

As for ads, you just need to get the right filters, my filters block all the ads in that website.

This could also be the cause for the ads,

I used it on the piratebay.org it was the same. I added the filters you have enabled and it has blocked everything on the proxy piratebay.

Thank you sooooo much didn't think of adding those filters I feel dumb now.
