Hello,

Looks like this rule ?ads_params= is filtering dailymotion player all together.

I am able to reproduce the issue on the following and many others.

Code: Select all

We have another report, and details available below:

@fuzzylogic

Easily can be fixed from your side by removing the query parameter ?ads_params= from the third party dailymotion embed video.

Hi smed79
It's really larger than orange.fr, you may see the kini.tv reference in the thread. Thanks for your help.

Just wait for the easylist authors, maybe they will fix it.
Who is using uBo => already fixed (see above).

Hi,

?ads_params has been blacklisted in easylist again. This is entirely blocking the content.

Case:

maybe it wasn't fixed yet. In uBo seems still working.

I confirm it's not only on orange.fr.

I cannot watch any video on lequipe.fr anymore:

Thanks @intense, that fixes the issue for me.

I tried to dig a little bit into the problem (I don't work for orange, nor l'equipe, nor dailymotion, I'm just a dev who watches a lot of videos 😉) and I think the above filter should be added to the generic easylist whitelist, so community can benefit from it. More details below:

I guess it's fine to use ?ad_params= to identify potential ad urls to be blocked. So we should not remove the ?ad_params= rule in easylist_general_block.txt.

But the problem here is that the sites mentioned above seem to be passing ad_params in the querystring of the main video player embed/iframe url (for Dailymotion that's: www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/id, for YT: www.youtube.com/embed/id, for Vimeo player.vimeo.com/video/id, ...). By blocking those video player embed URLs the adblocker is almost certainly blocking legit (non ad) video content (actually, it's preventing the entire video player from loading).

tl;dr: Player embed urls like @@||dailymotion.com/embed/video/$subdocument should be part of the general easylist whitelist. Adblockers should block ads displayed inside a video player, not the video player itself, the same way as they should block ads in a webpage and not the page itself.
