github.io

Post by ThePsionic »

Hello,
I am a developer on https://github.com/new-xkit/XKit (New XKit), an extension framework for additional tools and changes on Tumblr.

Our updates happen via our github.io domain, where JSONs are hosted that the extension pings every so often in order to update the relevant extension. However, due to a recently added (seemingly temporary) block on github.io via third party websockets and XmlHttpRequests, this update procedure is broken for many users, and get the message they cannot connect to our servers.

I would like to kindly request you either ALSO allow tumblr.com in addition to github.com, or in some way create an exception for
http(s)://new-xkit.github.io/XKit and its subdirectories.

Temporarly because github is being sourced by coin miners. Is there an example of Tumblr issue?

I'm not aware of Tumblr using any miners in their advertisements. I believe they're partnered only with larger and more benign ad networks; if anything, our extension includes a module to systematically remove all ads on the page. I'd imagine ads on the tumblr.com base domain would never contain miners (since that would be TERRIBLE UX for such a large social network), but I obviously can't vouch for user-hosted content on subdomains on Tumblr (except for {dd}.media.tumblr.com where dd is a two-character numerical identifier).

As a New XKit user, this is quite disruptive. The block also seems overbroad, I wonder what other negative impacts have not yet been reported.

Hello,

EasyPrivacy is currently blocking all WebAssembly from GitHub pages (github.io), with this:

Code: Select all

/.*(\/proxy|\.wasm|\.wsm|\.wa)$/$websocket,xmlhttprequest,domain=github.io|rawgit.com|reactor.cc|sickrage.ca|streamplay.to|tubetitties.com|vidfile.net
This breaks many developer projects hosted with GitHub Pages and violates the policy
Whitelists should be specific enough to avoid protecting unwanted items.
Could github.io please be removed from this regex?

You want us to guess the URL's of the pages?
