www.newhomeguide.com broken by adblock

Post by hanshauge »

Hello,
My name is Hans Hauge and I am a Ruby developer working for Rentpath, the parent company that owns newhomeguide.com as well as several other related sites.

This week we noticed that users cannot search on newhomeguide.com (essentially breaking the site) when adblock is turned on. Any help or insight you can give is appreciated.

So far it looks like a required file (dfp.js) is being blocked which causes a script error in require.js. You can see some network info in the debugging console.

Please advise,

it's due to this easylist filter:

Code: Select all

/dfp.js
You should report the issue (and be sure you don't provide ads using that script) at easylist support forum:
https://forums.lanik.us/viewforum.php?f=64

Alternative ? ==> rename dfp.js in something else (but again: if you provide ads using dfp.js will be blocked again even the new renamed script)

You need some exception filter (added in easylist):
