This issue appears to affect several Dutch newpapers, which are part of one consortium and share part of their web content. A week ago, I created a adguard forum topic with extra examples here: https://forum.adguard.com/index.php?threads/volkskrant-nl-parool-nl-trouw-nl-spinners-on-graphics.39611/

Hi, It seems that these websites require to accept cookie notice, otherwise some elements are not loaded/displayed. Fixed issue on volkskrant.nl, trouw.nl and parool.nl, update should be available in 1-2 hours.

If you know any other similar website which is broken, then please provide a link in this issue.

Hi,

Thank you, it looks like this problem is solved now. I'll check over the next few days and report here if there are still problems. I think these are the only Dutch newparer sites that are affected by this, but I'll come back here if I find any others.

Thanks again, Arthur

Hi,

Here is another online newspaper with similar problems, this time a Belgian paper.

You will see a number of spinners at this address:

https://www.demorgen.be/nieuws/live-coronavirus-dit-is-nog-steeds-precies-hetzelfde-virus-dat-onze-ziekenhuizen-deed-vollopen~b638c04f/

It appears to belong to the same company (DPG media) as the earlier three.

Hi, Fixed, update should be available in 1-2 hours. Thank you for reporting it.

[phonemes]

Hi Adam,

This is not fixed for me. I am still seeing spinners on demorgen.be, for instance here: https://www.demorgen.be/nieuws/live-coronavirus-woensdag-23-september-vindt-nieuwe-veiligheidsraad-plaats~b638c04f/

[AdamWr]

Hi,

Right, my bad. I added demorgen.be to the wrong exception. Fixed again, update should be available in 1-2 hours.

[phonemes]

Hi Adam,

Not sure if this is completely solved. It looks like I am getting blank spaces now instead of spinners. trouw.nl, volkskrant.nl and parool.nl show graphics instead of the spinners.

[AdamWr]

This time I can't reproduce it. Does it work if you disable AdGuard or at least Fanboy's Annoyances and AdGuard Annoyances filter?

[phonemes]

Sorry, I was not very clear in describing the problem. I have these blank spaces where there used to be spinners, both with Adguard filtering enabled and disabled. This differs from those other 3 newspapers, which give me graphics instead of spinners after you fixed them. I'm guessing it has something to do with having to log in on demorgen.be (like you suggested as an explanation for the other sites).

Here is what I see without and with filtering enabled:

If it doesn't work with AdGuard disabled then I think that it's probably caused by something else, maybe by another extension.

On my end it looks like this:

Hi,

This problem appears to have resurfaced. Spinners are back in the same places as before. I am not including new screenshots, since the original links are still available.

TIA, Arthur

[AdamWr]

Hi, It seems that it's caused by Fanboy's Annoyances filter, so please add these rules to user filter:

/wrapperMessagingWithoutDetection.js$badfilter
@@||cmp.*.*/wrapper/*/v1/gdpr/native-message?requestUUID=

[phonemes]

Thanks, these rules appear to do the trick.
