Thanks for the filter list. Looks like disqus.com is blocked by easy privacy, but disquscdn.com gets through. Could that be an add to the main list?

Thx.

Hi,
first read rules#participation

disqus.com is blocked by which filter in easyprivacy and why disquscdn.com should be blocked?

[seamd]

My apologies.

Disqus.com (related elements) are blocked in "Third-Party Tracking Services" in the easyprivacy filter.

Plugin is uBlock Origin 1.14.22. Filter lists are up to date.

Why block disquscdn? If only blocking disqus, disquscdn.com elements are loaded on the page for a social discussion forum.

Page is here:
https://hypebeast.com/2017/12/bitcoin-drops-40-percent-11000

Elements are:

Code: Select all

https://c.disquscdn.com/next/embed/lounge.load.b2d9d54d9647b9b85577c7e59bd856e1.js
https://c.disquscdn.com/next/embed/common.bundle.8edffe1405dcc2d5eb5ee9d96a2866d1.js
https://c.disquscdn.com/next/embed/styles/lounge.b6e30194f7733461731644bd3f145d25.css

These then load:

Code: Select all

https://disqus.com/embed/comments/?

easylist is blocking only tracking elements loaded from disqus.com
disquscdn.com is a CDN, if you block it this will block disqus comments.

Fair enough. Was concerned it was loading disqus elements that could facilitate tracking.

I'll just nuke the whole thing with a custom filter.
