Hum, this is a new kind of dark pattern, here's what's happening when I click this link:
uBlock₀ has prevented the following page from loading :
https://guce.advertising.com/collectIdentifiers?sessionId=3_cc-session_5136ebd9-e4e2-493e-82eb-6d42aeb5c582
I managed by using wget instead...
- juancampa 7y agoI was wondering the same thing. What's exactly happening here? Is uBlock origin blocking this page after it gets loaded? I don't see guce.advertising.com ever been requested in the network tab either.
- the8472 7y agoengadget does a HTTP 307 temporary redirect to the site. ublock inserting its warning page leads to a security context switch to an extension page which triggers a dev tools reload which in turn removes the request history. You can view the requests in the global browser console instead. Presumably the ad would direct you back to engadget once you click or something and add a parameter to prevent an infinite redirect loop.
- dylz 7y agoengadget is owned by advertising.com or the same company; they redirect you through it for first party cookie drops for better user tagging.
