Unless I remove my EasyList subscription from my add-on on Firefox 63 videos such as this one

Code: Select all

https://www.msn.com/en-us/video/wonder/juno-captures-surreal-image-of-jupiters-clouds/vi-BBKSMwz
has audio but no video. Suggestions welcomed to get the video back.

Edit:
I chose the option to disable cosmetic filtering for msn.com and the video now plays fine. But why do I have to do this to get videos to play?

The filter now lets me see the video. Thank you very much. I should mention that I'm on the latest Nightly version of Fx63 which just introduced the ability to stop videos from autoplaying if the video is NOT muted. I set this option for all web sites. Perhaps this is why the video works for you if you aren't using the latest Nightly that I am on..

Not sure if this is related but the site is broken for me today. Chrome on Mac with Ad Block Plus.

I forced my EasyList to update and now I can load up the article but the pictures are not showing. I’m using Adblock Plus on chrome 67 on a Mac.

Here is a screen cap of what I am seeing.

Let me know if I can send any other information from my side.

Code: Select all

work for me. The page closes immediately.

middle click will work fine, if you click on them normally it'll go through g00. msn is forcing links to go through their adserver.

msn's intention is to make users of adblocking software not welcome.

I updated my rules and it seems even more busted today. On Chrome the page loads and then shows part of the page and then an error.

Chrome Extension for MSN.com is broken

Code: Select all

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/msn-new-tab/llelondjpcjljnjihdflhpclcpbiaiba
If you have this extension then when you open a new tab in Chrome it loads news articles for you. Clicking on any news article in it automatically closes it. It looks like the following change set 6f2ab1bdb9bc2 caused it.

I am seeing things broken as well. Clicking on any links that opens a new tab breaks.

Using the Easylist ad filter videos such as

Code: Select all

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/more-sports/katelyn-ohashis-life-changed-after-her-perfect-10-went-viral/vi-AAFz3Zb
do not even appear. This problem is not limited to the sports page.
