Closed jonozzz closed 5 years ago

jonozzz commented 6 years ago

assets.adobedtm.com is needed by lowes.com

welcome[bot] commented 6 years ago

Hello! Thank you for opening your first issue in this repo. It’s people like you who make these host files better!

anudeepND commented 6 years ago

@jonozzz I was able to access https://m.lowes.com with assets.adobedtm.com blocked, what issues are you having?

StevenBlack commented 6 years ago

@jonozzz I just used Little Snitch on this and I cannot see assets.adobedtm.com requested by lowes.com or lowes.ca.

Please clarify?

jonozzz commented 6 years ago

This is what I get in Chrome:

Try logging in. I think that's where it was dying.

StevenBlack commented 6 years ago

@jonozzz the domain assets.adobedtm.com is flagged by two of our data sources, mvps.org and @lightswitch05.

I trust our curators.

Daniel @lightswitch05 will evaluate this. As for mvps.org, please take this up with them at winhelp2002@gmail.com. If they both agree to remove their flags, then assets.adobedtm.com will be unblocked.

anudeepND commented 6 years ago

@jonozzz Please provide some information about the issues you're having. Do you have problems with the elements like pictures etc. on lowes.com?

jonozzz commented 6 years ago

Yes, with assets.adobedtm.com pointing to 127.0.0.1, open https://m.lowes.com/, click myLowes and login using your lowe's credentials.

Result: page will hang indefinitely, the JS console shows the following error: Uncaught ReferenceError: _satellite is not defined at i (account-small.min.js:2) at t (account-small.min.js:2) at Object. (account-small.min.js:2) at d (scaffold.min.js:4) at Object.fireWith [as resolveWith] (scaffold.min.js:4) at i (scaffold.min.js:6) at XMLHttpRequest.e (scaffold.min.js:6)

Expected: login successful and user is redirected to the account home page.

kronflux commented 6 years ago

is this only for the mobile site?(ie: m.lowes.com) or does it happen on lowes.com(no m.) as well? I tend to agree with @StevenBlack though. This URL seems to relate to adobe analytics.

Side note, you can use the whitelist functionality, or simply remove this entry for your own personal use. Your other option would be to contact Lowes support and try to convince them to fix their broken site, since in theory this script not loading shouldn't cause the site to break entirely.

jonozzz commented 6 years ago

Same problem with lowes.com, apparently. I agree that whatever dependency they have on that script, it should not break the login functionality. That's what I did, I had to whitelist that domain for my own use but getting Lowes to change anything is a challenge :)

lightswitch05 commented 6 years ago

@jonozzz I verified some weirdness with login on Lowes's website - at least on the desktop site, I did not try mobile. When I clicked 'Sign In' using my correct username and password - nothing seemed to happen. I also verified the _satelliteerror in the console. However, when I refresh the page, I'm logged in. It looks like login is successful - its just the logic that closes the popup and refreshes your login info is broken.

assets.adobedtm.com is a hugely popular tracker - I see it all over the internet. I'm really hesitant to remove it over this single issue. Especially since it seems like the login is working successfully after a page refresh. I did send Lowes an email about it, so perhaps they will fix it on their end.

This Adobe host is used when assets/an entire site are (somewhat incorrectly, but legitimately) exported from Adobe XD or any of their newer apps when used alongside XD. I also had to whitelist it in order for the new Chelsea FC website to function correctly (along with 'sp.auth.adobe.com'). I agree that it is poor implementation on their part, but if it's happening with some of these large corporate redesigns, I can imagine that we will only see more and more sites having the same issue.

lightswitch05 commented 5 years ago

@WillPresley sp.auth.adobe.com is not currently blocked in this project.

It looks likes assets.adobedtm.com was whitelisted by MVPS. Its without a doubt a tracking site, but if its causing a lot of people issues I'll move it to my aggressive list, which is not in this project. If anyone doesn't mind a few broken sites, I recommend adding assets.adobedtm.com to your own blocklists.

StevenBlack commented 5 years ago

Closing...

egold commented 5 years ago

Closed GH issue I know, but wanted to just add that CrateAndBarrel.com also relies on JavaScript hosted on that domain in order for their product details pages to work. When blocking that domain (Privacy Badger in my case) color picker and other product details javascripts spew JS errors.

lightswitch05 commented 5 years ago

assets.adobedtm.com is no longer blocked in this project

matthewparkes commented 5 years ago

Also thought I'd let you know that the login for https://www.disneytravelagents.ca/doesn't work with assets.adobedtm.com blocked

StevenBlack commented 5 years ago

Hi @matthewparkes, assets.adobedtm.com is blocked by a rock-solid curator, the fine folks over at mvps.org. Please take this up with them at email winhelp2002@gmail.com.

Thanks!

Of curse you will see more of this. Why? because you let them. If you write to them telling them they lost a user whom they could track and sell data from, and to manipulate you to spendt more of your hard earned money on there product, which I'll guess is something with a ball, then things would start changing.

The best you can do second to e-mail the soccer's... stop using there website, and by all means stop whitelisting fucked up domains.

Seriously, who is it that is messing up the websites, is it anti tracking/spying lists like these, or is it the website owners?

I know my answer to this, what is yours answer? think about it next time you're about to do some whitelisting, and the long term consequences of it..

FYI, I had to whitelist this domain to get several features on chrysler.com to work.
