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.
