The only way to prevent the ads is to use something like ad blocker or adblocker plus. This will also take care of annoying delays from cdn.optimize.com.
livestream ads: is it me or chess.com
Sort:
I thought erik didn't like it if we use adblocker.
^ Could be, but I got the idea from Danny Rensch on one of his shows when someone was complaining about the ads. All I know is that it works.

With my sluggish connection, withouth adblocker cdn.optimizly.com makes the site almost unusable for me.
I wouldn't mind the occasional ad, but the one I cited was present almost constantly and too obtrusive for me to follow the program. Of course, I understand others may not be bothered by it. I am surprised NoScript doesn't block the ads.
What browser do you use? I have chrome and have never seen an ad on chess.com (apart from the one before livestream starts).
Scottrf, I use Firefox and have never seen ads before, either. It was only with the Heisman video that I tried to watch that the ads were there.

That will not help him as he is using Firefox.
Ealdor, this is the add-on you want to install: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/ I have been using it for years and wouldn't browse the web with out it.
