Hi,
The line blocking skimresources.com is in the code
https://github.com/easylist/easylist/bl ... y.txt#L357

This is blocking clicks from editorial links, such as from

Code: Select all

https://www.thesun.co.uk/shopping/gifts-and-lifestyle/12916306/best-whisky-advent-calendars/

if you scroll down to the Really Good Whisky calendar,

Code: Select all

among many others across the internet, is blocked

Please help us, as we are a small business and losing sales every day, as this is a seasonal product

Thank you so much,

Hi,

Upon further investigation, we have realised the skimresources links are only blocked when they use our url: "reallygoodwhisky.com"

For example,

Code: Select all

https://go.skimresources.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Freallygoodwhisky.com

is blocked, whereas

Code: Select all

https://go.skimresources.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fanyothersite.com

is not blocked.

This is puzzling, as I couldn't find reallygoodwhisky.com when searching your codebase. Please can you advise?

Thanks again,
Ben.
