Block legit user click on few domain

Post by vincent-kwanko »

Hello,

I don't know if it's a bug, but on classic links Adblock close immediately the new tab in Firefox, then recently Chrome. With the default 'Easy' list, and settings. It seems the attribut 'target' with '_blank' option in html links is considered like intrusive popup. Example :

Link without target attribut OK

Code: Select all

<a href="http://action.metaffiliation.com/trk.php?mclic=P4BFAD5557CF1733">Link without target attribut OK</a>
Link with target attribut NOT OK

Code: Select all

<a href="http://action.metaffiliation.com/trk.php?mclic=P4BFAD5557CF1733" target="_blank">Link with target attribut NOT OK</a>
Best,

Vincent Kwanko

it depends on the site you visit, however if you consider it's a false positive just report it directly to easylist forum (providing the page / site, other details to reproduce the issue):

Maybe it matched a blocking filter with the $popup option, which just closes popups and is not implied by leaving out the options.
