Bootstrap CDN blocked

Post by borgdesign »

Activating EasyList I got those errors:

GET https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/ ... ap.min.css net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT
GET https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/ ... rap.min.js net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT

Bootstrap is used by many websites and this put all websites using bootstrap from this CDN out of order.
Fortunatedly I had fall-back but other people might not have.

Perhaps "twitter" is a bad word but please do not put out of order thousands of websites. This is very, very bad.

(dezactivating EasyList I got it working)

EasyList doesn't have any filter matching these URLs. Fanboy’s Annoyance List‎ does though (edit: and so does Fanboy’s Social Blocking List now), and in such case, that would be the expected behavior: users selecting Fanboy’s Annoyance List‎ do not care about having twitter widgets in their pages.

Edit: Actually, looking more into this OP has a point: the URLs are used for more than just specifically twitter widgets. See http://cdnjs.com/libraries/twitter-bootstrap.

On the site above, blocking /twitter-bootstrap/* causes what issue?

Bootstrap is a HTML, CSS, and JS framework (they call it "the most popular" as you can check here http://getbootstrap.com).
A website built on bootstrap needs to use two files (css and js = the blocked ones) in order to be readable.

To see what might happen (without fall-back) take a look here:
http://www.virtuosoft.eu/tools/css-gradient-generator/
It is like a Denial of Service, isn't it?

"Fanboy's Social Blocking List" option make a lot of sites that use bootstrap unreadable.
If this is not the purpose of AdBlock neither purpose of the Fanboy's list and neither is user willing then it is a bug.

The bad is that users are thinking it is a wrong coded website and the webmaster is not aware that bilion users can't use the website becouse a bug in a list used by AdBlock.
