https://patient.labcorp.com

This site is for patients retrieving medical test results.
There are no ads. It's a national medical testing lab. Huge company in the US.

The patient logs in, and test results appear.
At the top of the page there is a button for
"download your official report"
This is a pdf.js link that opens another tab in firefox (and in chrome) with a PDF of your test.
It does not open when adblock plus is enabled. The issue affects chrome and firefox.
Every time I click the button another red link is blocked in blockable items. I have six links right now in red.
The browser blinks but does not open the new tab.

blob:https://patient.labcorp.com/Different generated key

I put an exception for
blob:https://patient.labcorp.com/
and for
blob:https://patient.labcorp.com/*
But that did not resolve the problem.
The browser tries to open a tab but the tab disappears.

I have disabled adblock plus on patient.labcorp.com but that is not a good solution, since each patient would have to do that to download their pdf.
Too much support.
I discussed with their support that the actual problem is the method their developers are using to open the pdf in a new browser tab, and they are going to see if they can fix it. They probably should be opening a file browser, or in an external viewer.
The firefox and chrome notification area does not appear with a message to allow popups. Allowing popups in the browser does not change this.

This blocking affects many people.

In my opinion patient.labcorp.com can be safely whitelisted globally. There are no ads, and the patient is logged in at this time.

If it is possible provide a test account and describe exactly how to reproduce the issue.
or
In firefox when you get the popup blocked submit an Adblock plus issue report and post here the link.

I don't work for that company, but I will copy them on this so they can see about providing that.
Here is a link to the report over there.

Click ABP icon and open blockable items list to see what filters close the popup and what url is blocked.

Here an example http://i.imgur.com/DYB1U84.gif

does this help ?

Neither of those changed anything. The page blinks, the pdf.js viewer tab is spawned, then that tab disappears.
Each time I get another blocked url in the blockable items, with a new generated tag. I have several right now.

I have several in red with different generated tags.

The filter i have posted is not for you.

Add these filters and test

Without a login, this will do for the moment.

A combination of the first and last filter resolved this issue that also affected me. Prior to adding these filters, I had to whitelist patient.labcorp.com.
For reference I am using Chrome Version 63.0.3239.132 (Official Build) (64-bit) and my ABP filters [Adblock Warning Removal List & EasyList] were updated as of 2018.01.22

Code: Select all

@@|blob:$popup,domain=labcorp.com
@@||patient.labcorp.com^$popup,~third-party

These two filters allowed me to remove patient.labcorp.com from the whitelist, and permitted the new tab popup to display the PDF:
blob:https://patient.labcorp.com/{hash}. Will these lines make their way into the public filter subscription soon?
