    @gorhill Thank you very much, your solution (still) works fine for the video found in the article from the opening post.

    Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be a general solution as I encountered another video ad in a different article:

    http://www.golem.de/news/document-foundation-libreoffice-5-2-unterstuetzt-geheime-dokumente-1608-122499.html

    I cannot give you any additional information as all settings ( the configuration, the HTML part, requests and the source of the ad) are the same as before.

    I don't see any video ad in the embedded video.

    I don't see any video ad in the embedded video.

    I just figured out, that you can trigger the ad by clicking on the big "play" button which overlays the video:
    golem_video_ad_2

    The logger tells us .... (is there a way to export the logger content to XML or something else?)

    golem_video_ad

    ... that the e.g. the following video ad is played instead of the actual content:

    Even with that button I do not get the ad.

    Show me the output of the logger for everything which is not blocked/allowed/redirected -- enter -- || ++ || << as filter expression. Specifically, I want to see if the following line exists:

    hd-main.js    <<    script    http://hgcorigin.svonm.com/hd-main.js?cache=...
    

    The fix requires that the resource hd-main.js is being redirected to uBO's own local version.

    I made a tiny but important mistake: I obviously did not completely turn off NoScript this time and it blocked scripts from svonm.com.
    This made it possible to load the ad despite uBO.

    I want to see if the following line exists:

    It exists if NoScript is turned off, it doesn't if NoScript is turned on ...

    I am very sorry for taking your and my own time!
