uBlock is blocking it

PabloC opened this issue · 10 comments

I'm using uBlock on Google Chrome, and it is blocking the script. Buttons are not appearing.

FWIW I've never heard of uBlock. Happy for someone to investigate, but not going to be something I can look into.

2,758,242 users are using this adblock.

Apparently, there is a site https://forums.lanik.us/ that has all the URLs used in the plugin marked as blocked.

Screenhost here:

So it's blocking facebook's default social sharing url. Seems like a bad idea imho

Surely if a user of uBlock has chosen to block social sharing links, you should respect that…?

Is that not what's happening?

uBlock is a nice adblocker. It's faster than adblock I don't know why they
are blocking this buttons, but it's the first time that I notice this.

Yeah, I'm afraid you'll have to take up any issues with them. We can't do anything about people blocking the common sharing urls.

Any follow up on this? Seems like its out of our control.

I use uBlock too but here it's not blocking nothing. It's probably the filters... it has some filters that block social things and privacy tracking. I believe that some these should blocking the icons.

Gunna close this one. Happy to look at it if it's something we can change, but I don't think it is.
