When visiting beta.speedtest.net to try out the new UI I was given the following message:

Hello, Speedtester! It looks like you have an adblocker running on your machine that is prohibiting Speedtest from being able to work its magic. This is due to a recent change in adblocker software, which targets all third party libraries on our website, including our content delivery network.

Fancy technical jargon aside, the reality is that while we are an ad-supported business, this is not a ploy to keep users with adblocker applications installed from accessing our site – we like you lots and want to keep providing you with the best Speedtest possible!

So, while our ever-clever developers work hard to remedy this situation, we suggest giving our beta site a whirl with your Adblocker disabled.

I don't know whether they've contacted you about this but I haven't seen a forum post and since EasyList is my only subscribed filter I believe that the cause is EasyList. The update of filters was also performed 50 minutes ago.

I've tried adding the following filter using the AdBlock resource page. (More specifically, CatBlock from catblock.tk because AdBlock removed theirs)

Code: Select all

@@||ads.ookla.com/www/test.js$domain=beta.speedtest.net

but the page just gets stuck on a blue loading circle.

These rules helped me to launch that site.

May be it could be trimmed down even more. Needs more testing.

Fixed, for the moment: https://hg.adblockplus.org/easylist/rev/db89fd873e7a

I had to add

Code: Select all

@@||beta.speedtest.net/api/^$xmlhttprequest,domain=speedtest.net

otherwise the "pick a server" feature doesn't work.
