Hi for anyone got this crap during the stream, this is the blerp source link who does this trash ads sound... I hope they gonna fix it on their website. I supposed it's a malware, java script or something like this doing this. I lost 1 day to found where was this bug appear.

You need to contact blerp support.
In here you can find support for OBS Studio issues.

If you have a Raspberry Pi sitting around (or can get one), you might look at Pi-hole:

Pi-hole – Network-wide Ad Blocking

pi-hole.net

It's a network-wide ad-blocker, that works by funneling every request for an actual address through it (translate google.com into 142.251.116.113, for example), and it only returns a real address for what is not an ad.

Set up the Pi, and then set your DNS server to point to the Pi. You can do that separately for each computer, or you can set your router to give the Pi's address to everyone that asks for a DNS server. (default is usually the router itself)

I'd like it better if OBS's browser would take plugins, like an ad-blocker, but the embedded version of Chromium that it uses doesn't take plugins.

Yeah thanks for notice that, indeed if obs could take ublock (coz adblock is now a part of google and let ads coming). I just removed blerp link from my obs shape, that solved my trouble.

Okay, so there's another part of the cat-and-mouse game that we need to be aware of. Thanks for that!
