How to bypass Ads pop-up in Octoparse?
FollowThe extraction speed of a crawler is affected by the speed of page loading. If many unexpected ads appear on the web page, such as banners and pop-ups, the page will load slowly and waste your time. Ad blocking can reduce your page requests and thus optimize the loading time.
How to block Ads
There are two ways in Octoparse to set up “Ad Blocking”.
