Amazon Product Images not showing on Amazon SiteStripe

I've had AdBlock plus installed for a long time and I'm sure that I had it enabled for my site and Amazon.com and it hadn't been blocking product images pulled from amazon SiteStripe before.

Until last night.

Some of these pages contain these images, but now only show when I disable adblock plus on my site. I also am unable to see a product image when going to Amazon associates sitestripe as well

Aren't they acceptable ads? Is this an issue with Amazon or Adblock Plus?

Amazon Custom Native Ads show up fine.

Thanks!

Hi MattL!

Thanks for reaching out. Does the issue persist when you have ABP disabled? https://help.eyeo.com/en/adblockplus/un ... s?b19c62dd. if the issue persists, it may be on the Amazon side. If it goes away, we may need to submit a false positive report with the filter list authors. We look forward to your follow up!

Thanks

I appreciate the fast response, thank you :) I am only experiencing the issue when I have ad block enabled. I've tried explaining this to Amazon, but they are telling me that I should speak to a web developer about how to properly put HTML code into my website (I've been doing this for years...). I'm not sure if they understand that I'm also having the issue on Amazon itself, even though I have tried to make that clear to them 3 times. :/

As you can see, when ad block is enabled, the image link disappeared, when I disable Adblock, the image works. I've also confirmed with friends that they were able to see images on my website before (they also have adblock) but now they are not able to see them. When I turn off Adblock on my site, I can see the images, and so can my friends.

Image of ad block enabled and disabled on Amazon: https://i.imgur.com/QGH0Zcd.png

I feel that this problem negatively affects user experience as well, as some of these images are important to go with the content. I'm hoping this issue will be resolved soon?

Thanks again!

Matt

I have the exact same issue: Amazon product images retrieved via the Amazon affiliate API are not showing when AdBlock is enabled in my Chrome browser. This has worked for years, and only stopped working a few hours ago.

Something must have recently changed.

Hi Shannon,

I also have this issue. Since a couple of days my Amazon product images are not shown when AdBlock is enabled.
It seems to be an issue with EasyList. When I disable EasyList the images are shown.
Hope this helps.

Hi Shannon,

When I disable the EasyList filter, the images are being displayed properly. Kindly look into it.

As others have said, disabling EasyList filter allows the images to show up.

Any ETA when this issue will be fixed? I do believe this is a high priority issues, since thousands of sites are using these images.

Thanks,

Hi guys!

Apologies for the delay! Our filter list authors were having a hard time reproducing this on their end. Can you confirm which country you are in? Can you also send over a link to a page where the issue is happening? Thanks a lot!

Hi Shannon,

I am in the US.
One of the pages which doesn't display any images is this one:

Code: Select all

https://thewatchsnob.com/watch-winder-reviews
There should be images on the left side of all table rows. And in every chapter below.
