Hello,

I see the following line on the EasyPrivacy list (https://easylist.to/easylist/easyprivacy.txt)

Code: Select all

! cloudflare tracking
/cdn-cgi/apps/body/*$script,~third-party
/cdn-cgi/apps/head/*$script,~third-party

The above JS is used to run Cloudflare Apps feature, blocking those will break Cloudflare Apps and there is no any apps could be run not just an apps to track user but ALL apps could not be executed under above rule.

What is Cloudflare Apps -

Code: Select all

https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-apps-2/

For example, if the site owner would like to add few lines of HTML to the website with the Cloudflare Apps, they could use

Code: Select all

https://www.cloudflare.com/apps/add-html

Apps. When the apps is added, the JS under path "cdn-cgi/apps" will be included to the site. The path "cdn-cgi/apps" doesn't necessary to be a tracking one but could be payment widget or anything.

I am observing that a few sites which use Cloudflare Apps will contain a similar path "cdn-cgi/apps", this path is nothing related to the content it is up to the site owner who decided to add what they want using this feature.

Some other site owner also complained here that the site broke because of this rule - https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/12196

To add more information, the Cloudflare tracking blocking is already present in the rule. Cloudflare Apps is not part of the tracking.

We've had these cloudflare filters in Easyprivacy for a while now, I see no reason to remove them tbh.

Hello,

The rules kill this Cloudflare Apps product forever and the site owner especially non-technical people who wanted to deliver site elements with Cloudflare Apps would see relatively nothing while the AdBlock enabled.

Code: Select all

 ! cloudflare tracking
/cdn-cgi/apps/body/*$script,~third-party
/cdn-cgi/apps/head/*$script,~third-party

I have a use case and later found that AdBlock completely breaks Cloudflare Apps, for example a blog and would like to include donation widget, Cloudflare Apps would help non-technical people to include it in the website in few clicks, without Cloudflare Apps it would require to modify the site code which is difficult task for non-technical poeple.

As a developer and AdBlock user, to completely block Cloudflare Apps is kind of sad that this creative product become unusable.
