Are those two scripts widespread or specific to a site? And if they're quite widespread, would you be able to share how to identify them?

- bonestamp2 9y agoJust saw one a few minutes ago. It's actually not even the script you need to allow, it's just an XHR request to adiode.com. I can't remember the other one, I'll report back here when I see it again (usually every couple days). I saw the adiode.com one on https://www.merriam-webster.com https://www.merriam-webster.com if you want to have a look for yourself.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoYou mean the "Something interfered with this website loading" fake error screen? Yeah, that "something" is their bloody script. Bastards. I hit that one pretty much every other day somewhere; I wonder, how did it spread so quickly? It must be linked to by some popular ad network or analytics package.
- bonestamp2 9y agoYup. So if you allow the script to make that XHR request then it thinks the ad blocker is off and it will show the page but not the ads.
