Doesn't Work With PriceSpider #228

Closed dividedby closed 4 years ago

dividedby commented 4 years ago

For example, going to buy now on this page: https://www.hillspet.com/cat-food/sd-feline-adult-perfect-weight-dry the various links make use of redir.pricespider.com image

From there if you click on say the Amazon link you will get this URL: https://redir.pricespider.com/redirect/?iid=7a9207c2-fdcf-470a-8373-f917ba6e0341&v=2.2.1&pmid=123397766&widgetType=lightbox&t=614389&postalCode=48307&n=0&_=1589897180148 image

Adding redir.pricespider.com to the blacklist allows for the pricespider links to go through as intended: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HPZENCE?ascsubtag=wtbs_5ec3e8bfebb1e32b476f5877

And what doesn't work here?

When NeatURL is enabled any site that makes use of PriceSpider will not be able to redirect to whatever store they are linking to. It breaks the PriceSpider links and just shows the above error message. It should be able to redirect to say the Amazon link that is provided.

No, it should not. That's the point of this add-on that it alters URLs removing tracking params from them. If you are okay with using sites that track you and would like to trade immunity of being tracked for redirects to work - you should either disable this addon completely, or just add whitelist rules.

IMO, what you report is neither a bug, nor a feature request, so this ticket should be closed.
