Some websites are using tactics to bypass adblockers

An example is daan.dev. Check the shield icon and no blockers are blocked. Now disable javascript in site settings and reload the site and you will see ads being blocked.

I see one blocked item:

• daan.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/caos-supports-google-analytics-v4-1067x400.png

I assume that is blocked due to the substring "google analytics".

When you disable JavaScript, you are effectively blocking scripts, which will increase the number of items blocked (if there were scripts to begin with). In this case, the following scripts are blocked when scripting in general is disallowed:

• daan.dev/wp-content/themes/generatepress/assets/js/main.min.js?ver=3.0.3
• daan.dev/wp-content/themes/generatepress/assets/js/navigation-search.min.js?ver=3.0.3
• daan.dev/wp-content/themes/generatepress/assets/js/back-to-top.min.js?ver=3.0.3

I believe everything is working as intended.

Looks to be working as intended to me as well.

I could swear I saw google analytics as one of the scripts being bypassed when javascript is enabled. Maybe it was a false positive.

@askel45 Can we go ahead and close this one out?

Fixed the issue @askel45 give it 24-48hrs.

Is there a way to see which scripts are being blocked?
