This rule is problematic:

Code: Select all

@@||highcharts.com/modules/heatmap.js

It unblocks only https://code.highcharts.com/modules/heatmap.js, but there are

Code: Select all

https://code.highcharts.com/4.2.1/modules/heatmap.js
https://code.highcharts.com/4.2.0/modules/heatmap.js

I'm no expert on writing ABP rules. Can we unblock the whole code.highcharts.com instead of unblocking just https://code.highcharts.com/modules/heatmap.js somehow? I believe code.highcharts.com is not going to provide any intrusive JS.

Should I do anything else in order to get this into the EasyPrivacy list?

[LanikSJ]

That's up to the EasyList authors if/when it gets added.

MonztA, nice, thanks!

Hello there,

Your fix works only on highcharts domain, but when we use their chart widget in our product, the domain is not highcharts, it's the client's server.

So better you update the filter like this:

Code: Select all

@@/*/high/modules/heatmap.js 

You can see how it looks under the browser hood:

Thanks.

This is better and generic

Code: Select all

@@/*/modules/heatmap.js

which works on any domain.

Far too generic. If you're working on your site locally its probably a better idea to just disable Adblock.

@fanboy, turning off Ad Blockers is not a good solution. We install a product in the data center built on Jasper reports that in turn uses High charts. Users with uBlock or similar cannot use our product without hitting odd problems because of this.

What is the justification for blocking /heatmap.js?

[HighchartsUser]

@fanboy I think you're misunderstanding the issue. Any server that hosts highcharts' heatmap module is affected by this.

[fanboy]

Was blocked because of "heatmaps" used by tracking mouse movements/actions on websites.

Code: Select all

https://www.google.com/search?num=50&q=mouse+/heatmap.js+tracking

I'm happy to whitelist certain websites having issues, but making it too generic would be bad idea. Pity highcharts uses the same terms as known mouse tracking scripts.
