USA Today "in-depth" articles are currently broken by uBlock origin with EasyList. For example, these two articles:
Code: Select all
https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/nation/2018/10/17/teachers-appreciation-pay-union-jobs-schools-education/1509500002/
https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/nation/2018/10/31/george-soros-and-migrant-caravan-how-lie-multiplied-online/1824633002/
The broken rendering just shows the articles title on a blank background, and then mostly empty space, and then a super wide image. It looks like some page styling is getting preempted, basically (perhaps by a JS exception being thrown due to the blocking).
Logging shows that the brokenness is coming from the `/video-ads/` filter in EasyList.
I can unbreak the page by adding this exception line in my own filters:
Code: Select all
@@||gannettdigital.com/universal-web-client/master/latest/elements/video/video-ads/video-ads.html$xmlhttprequest,domain=www.usatoday.com
(It turns out there's already a line like this in EasyList, but with "domain=indystar.com" at the end rather than usatoday.com. I'm guessing these two news sites share some common resources, and they both need the same unblocking to render correctly.)
