Zdnet constant refresh when Adblocker enabled

[pac_71]

Greets.

I find Zdnet constantly refreshes when Adblocker is enabled. This happens on both Firefox and Chrome. When Adblocker is disabled the page loads normally. This can also be worked around by going into the simplified read mode in Firefox. It does not happen on 100% of zdnet pages but pretty close. An example of a problem page is http://www.zdnet.com/pictures/5-top-mob ... ly-2015/3/.

Any thoughts or similar experiences ?

I dont subscribe to Zdnet (or Adblocker if you mean that). So I guess the free version.

the constantly refreshing does happen only when the page is loaded or even after, continuously ?

does it still happen if you add easyprivacy list from en/subscriptions ?

Probably 99% of the time it will load the page and it will get to a static loaded condition and then instantly refresh. This results in a refresh every 10 seconds or so which does not seem to change the whole page but probably being prompted by the blocked ad's. The hassle is that it cycles too fast to use use Evernote web clipper to bookmark references to the articles. I can work around this by disabling Adblocker for Zdnet.

I added the easyprivacy list (abp:subscribe?location=https%3A//easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easyprivacy.txt&title=EasyPrivacy&requiresLocation=https%3A//easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist.txt&requiresTitle=EasyList)

This did not change the way the page behaves when Adblocker is enabled. Thanks for the suggestions.

May help here.. if you force an update of the subscriptions.
