go2cloud.org [REJ]

[el_feedback]

go2cloud.org is a domain owned by Tune

Code: Select all

https://www.tune.com

a partner marketing software company. They issue subdomains to their customers, who create their own partner marketing networks. These affiliate links are controlled by the various networks, each network with its own subdomain.

It looks like on July 7th the filter

Code: Select all

||go2cloud.org^$popup

was added to easylist_adservers_popup.txt (https://github.com/easylist/easylist/co ... 2c8a4R1139). This means that all subdomains will have any go2cloud.org links opening in new tabs killed. It also prevents users from manually choosing to open these links in new tabs. Overall, it provides a negative user experience.

While I'm sure there are some abusive uses for subdomains of go2cloud.org, many are just innocuous blogs with affiliate links. I'd suggest that this filter should be amended to target the offending subdomains specifically, as is already the case with the active filter

Code: Select all

||rubylife.go2cloud.org^$popup

You can see a demo of this behavior here.
