Adguard block access to legitimate site (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/ads_abstracts.html)

[quark67]

In the URL http://adsabs.harvard.edu/ads_abstracts.html, "ads" is not for "advertising", but for "Astrophysics Data System".

I cannot access to this page, the error message is (approximately, because I translate from French): _Safari cannot open the page "http://adsabs.harvard.edu/ads_abstracts.html". Error: "the URL was blocked by a content blocker"_.

Perhaps can you allow this URL?

@Yuki2718 can you check and maybe fix in EL?

Can't reproduce with AG Extension on Chromium (Base, TPF, Social, Annoyances, & French). Do not skip the template.

I just updated "AdGuard for Safari" to version 1.9.13, and same behaviour: the page is blocked. Installed:

• AdGuard
• AdGuard Advanced Blocking
• AdGuard Autres (=AdGuard Others)
• AdGuard Custom
• AdGuard Privacy
• AdGuard Security
• AdGuard Social
• Icône AdGuard Safari (=AdGuard Safari Icon)

@Yuki2718 maybe possible reporduce on Android + AdGuard Content Blocker for Samsung Internet "browser" / Yandex Browser.

Unless it is rule directly from the AdGuard project that are causing the blocking, such are repaired at the AdGuard "list" filter level and not with a pending repair in EL/EP, I suppose in file:

@quark67 I can't reproduce. Could you please check which filter breaks the site?

[quark67]

How can I find the filter? Which steps must I do? In Safari Web inspector? Where? In Adguard for Safari? Where? Thanks.

[Alex-302]

@quark67 Hi. Just disable filters one by one with checking(wait ~10-15 seconds after each disable/enable)

[quark67]

So, the results:

• AdGuard Advanced Blocking 1.9.13 deactivated: still the same blocking;
• plus AdGuard Others 1.9.13 deactivated: still the same blocking;
• plus AdGuard Custom 1.9.13 deactivated: still the same blocking;
• plus AdGuard Privacy 1.9.13 deactivated: still the same blocking;
• plus AdGuard Security 1.9.13 deactivated: still the same blocking;
• plus AdGuard Social 1.9.13 deactivated: still the same blocking;
• plus AdGuard 1.9.13 deactivated: hourra! I can access to the site.

Must I do another test?

[quark67]

Here are the settings from the "AdGuard for Safari" app:

And more specifically for the Ads Block:

Deactivating "Filtre anglais AdGuard" (English Filter AdGuard) does nothing about the blocking of the page (when all the extensions from the previous list are reactivated).

[krystian3w]

So something match with:

://ads (all domain will not load) or /ads_ (only few .html files with unlucky names)

[Sergey-Lyapin]

The problem is caused by AdGuard French filter (most likely by /ads_$popup rule). Fixed, @quark67 please update the filters after 2-3 hours.

[quark67]

Yes, after updating, I can reach the page http://adsabs.harvard.edu/ads_abstracts.html, thanks.
