Non-intrusive ads not showing for reddit (Chrome-specific)

Post by dehrmann »

I'm using Chrome 30.0.1599.69 m, and Adblock Plus 1.5.5.

The ads on the right on http://www.reddit.com/r/engineering are just showing as broken image. I don't see this issue on Firefox 24.0 (Adblock Plus 2.3.2), if I whitelist reddit.com, or if I disable non-intrusive ads. The issue seems to be that the request for the ad image, http://static.adzerk.net/Advertisers/c2 ... fb62f1.jpg, despite being in an iframe in a whitelisted div class (sponsorshipbox), is blocked.

Here's the relevant rule in exceptionrules.txt:

Code: Select all

reddit.com#@#.sponsorshipbox
To verify the issue, run this in Chrome's console:

Code: Select all

$('.sponsorshipbox').append($('<img src="http://static.adzerk.net/Advertisers/c2ed67326f594d469b2e0efc33fb62f1.jpg"/>'))
The img tag won't get added, but if I change the url to an imgur one, it works fine.

Here's a screenshot of the issue and manually attempting to add the ad image:
