Hi,

Adblock is usefull, i love it, but here is an issu:
http://www.margotduvauchelle.fr

On my web site, i have:
- on sidebar, a list of my social page with just 3 link (<a href.. > <img> </a>) for facebook, google+, and linkedin
- on bottom of content, i have same html code, but for sharing content on facebook, google+, twitter and linkedin

Adblock block my social page and social share !

That i don't understand, is my html code doens't use any javascript or api for this, here is my code:

Code: Select all

<div class="button">
									<a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=http://www.margotduvauchelle.fr/" rel="nofollow" title="Partager cette page sur Facebook" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.margotduvauchelle.fr/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/facebook.png" alt="Partager cette page sur Facebook" width="32" height="32" /></a>
								</div>
								<div class="button">
									<a href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=http://www.margotduvauchelle.fr/" rel="nofollow" title="Partager cette page sur Google+" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.margotduvauchelle.fr/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/google.png" alt="Partager cette page sur Google+" width="32" height="32" /></a>
								</div>
								<div class="button">
									<a href="https://twitter.com/home?status=http://www.margotduvauchelle.fr/" rel="nofollow" title="Partager cette page sur Twitter" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.margotduvauchelle.fr/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/twitter.png" alt="Partager cette page sur Twitter" width="32" height="32" /></a>
								</div>
								<div class="button">
									<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=http%3A//www.margotduvauchelle.fr&title=Margot%20Duvauchelle%20Psychologue&summary=&source=" rel="nofollow" title="Partager cette page sur Linkedin" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.margotduvauchelle.fr/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/linkedin.png" alt="Partager cette page sur Linkedin" width="32" height="32" /></a>
								</div>
And you can see that no facebook, or google+, or other social API or Javascript are running on my website.

I read why adblock block social share content: cause API and Javascript can track visitor even if they do not click on button. But in my case, why he block it ?

Best regards,

EDIT: Sorry about my english..

it's all due to the fanboy's social list. And it is...normal.
If someone does not want to see social stuff will use such list.

An easy workaround:
rename the icons (at least on the right side will be all ok):

Renaning icon and that's it ? like twitter.png --> tw.png ?

I understand the policy of adblock, but blocking an image just because it named like a social network is insane... This is just a png ! What can png file can do ? nothing, just show a static image.. If that was a gif, ok. But a png with 32px width and 32px height...

I think you have to do something for that, isn't intrusive in my opinion, is it ?

no policy, it's all about filter lists.
I only suggested an easier way for you to fix your page.
You can report your issue directly at easylist support forum asking for a fix but you have (sometimes) to wait at least 7 days (if your thread is noted immediately...)

Yes thank you for your answer, i'm just recodding my social share button by renaming icons. And it's seams to work. Thank you

I did a report too, cause i'm pretty sure this is too much to block image just because they are naming like a social network. It's like racisme... An image can't track and make pop-up.

Ok, again an issu after renaming:

Code: Select all

<div class="button">
									<a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="nofollow" title="Partager cette page sur Facebook" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.margotduvauchelle.fr/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/fb.png" alt="Partager cette page sur Facebook" width="32" height="32" /></a>
								</div>
								<div class="button">
									<a href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="nofollow" title="Partager cette page sur Google+" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.margotduvauchelle.fr/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/g-.png" alt="Partager cette page sur Google+" width="32" height="32" /></a>
								</div>
								<div class="button">
									<a href="https://twitter.com/home?status=<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="nofollow" title="Partager cette page sur Twitter" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.margotduvauchelle.fr/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/tw.png" alt="Partager cette page sur Twitter" width="32" height="32" /></a>
								</div>
								<div class="button">
									<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=http%3A//www.margotduvauchelle.fr&title=Margot%20Duvauchelle%20Psychologue&summary=&source=" rel="nofollow" title="Partager cette page sur Linkedin" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.margotduvauchelle.fr/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/ld.png" alt="Partager cette page sur Linkedin" width="32" height="32" /></a>
								</div>
Google+ and Facebook are bloked by adblock again even if ranaming in "g-.png" and "fb.png"
Is href link are scanned too ?

yes, these are the filters (it's why I said "at least on the right side will be all ok"):

Code: Select all

##a[href^="https://plus.google.com/share?url="]
##a[href^="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u="]

- no, the devs are not managing the lists :)
- the lists are managed by volunteers, see the forum:

I'd like to highlight what mapx pointed out in the beginning (see quote below). There are features (such as Fanboy's Social List) which users of ad blocking software can add on top of the regular ad blocking functionality. Those features are not enabled by default so social media buttons should still appear for everyone who didn't specifically add this feature to get rid of them.
