Adblock Plus Safari blocks Lynda.com

Post by gopool »

With Adblock Plus enabled on Safari, the Lynda.com website is blocked. I can see scrollbars but no content. The site works fine if I disable Adblock Plus.

The same thing happened with another website this morning but I cannot remember which one.

UPDATE
After some careful testing, I determined that the problem was the Easy Privacy list. Disabling that filter list fixed the problem.

This is because the code loading Visual Website Optimizer (a script blocked by EasyPrivacy) expects the "error" event to be dispatched asynchronously. For more details see issue 649.

The fix is now in the devbuild and will be included in the next release. If you want keep using EasyPrivacy but don't want to wait for the release, you can either switch to the devbuild or add following custom filter in order to block the script that loads the external tracking scripts:

Code: Select all
