ABP hangs up EBAY searching.

Post by Avalanche2 »

Noticed when I search on EBAY, results will come back and load maybe half a page and then hang for several minutes, sometime not even load. Turning ABP off and EBAY works perfectly. I've conformed this on both FF and MS Edge, same behavior and is reproducible.

Anyone else see this?

Yes! It seems eBay (recently?) added tracking of how far into the page you scroll, and it's causing the filters in EasyList for "sponsored" listings to go haywire. I might hit up the EasyList forums (https://forums.lanik.us), but I'm also going to see if I can find a work-around other than turning off ABP on eBay (so much ugh).

It turns out I pointed the finger in the wrong direction. It was actually the anit-CV list ("ABP filters") and I have filed a bug report: https://github.com/abp-filters/abp-filt ... ssues/1266
