Hi EasyList Crew,
Thanks for developing this great tool and approving my sign-up to this forum.
Recently we've discovered an issue with user redirects on our page with ad blockers on:
Intentionally clicking a redirect button on any of finder.com.au
/ finder.com
/ creditcard.com.au
pages that opens a new tab with ad.doubleclick.net
in the redirect path causes ad blockers to immediately shut down the newly opened tab when the redirect is triggered. This blocks users from reaching their navigation target, not ads.
E.g. by clicking Go to site
for Unloan Variable Home Loan
on
Code: Select all
https://www.finder.com.au/home-loans/best-home-loans
Checking logs shows it's related to
Code: Select all
||doubleclick.net^$popup
filter rule
This issue has also been first discussed with uBlock Origin team here: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/21939
The suggestion was to reach out to you to work on an exception rule.
I have tested extending the existing EasyList exception rule by adding our domains
like that:
Code: Select all
@@||ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/$popup,domain=billiger.de|guide-epargne.be|legacy.com|mail.yahoo.com|nytimes.com|spaargids.be|finder.com.au|finder.com|creditcard.com.au
It did the job well enough. Maybe there's even a better way to fully unblock the user to the final destination without a doubleclick domain warning, but at least the tab isn't shut down.
I've opened up the related issue and pull request on Github.

Pull request: https://github.com/easylist/easylist/pull/18276
What should I do next?
Could you please help?
