Is that what's going on?
Regardless of your stance on ad blockers, simply showing a mysterious eye without telling you you should stop your ad blocker sounds like awful design.
- portmanteaufu 6y ago"Inspect element" shows that the eye belongs to: <div class="loader"></div> I think it's meant to be a placeholder animation that goes away when the content is available rather than a cryptic visual for users with an ad blocker. It's definitely a weird net effect.
- gruez 6y agoWhitelisting licdn.com fixes it. If dig deeper and check the ublock origin logger, it looks like it's trying to load https://snap.licdn.com/li.lms-analytics/insight.min.js https://snap.licdn.com/li.lms-analytics/insight.min.js, and if it's blocked the page never loads.
- jjoonathan 6y agoCompletely in line with modern design philosophy, though. Why use words when you can use a mysterious hieroglyph?
