This should be fixed, assuming your plugin has updated to the latest definitions it'll map properly for articles.mercola.com and all their various other sub-domains.

grahamperrin commented 4 years ago

Thanks, I don't see a fix yet, how frequent are checks for updates to definitions?

grahamperrin commented 4 years ago

… also (the same issue?) https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/vaxxter/ but I see a question mark at https://vaxxter.com/

jacobb84 commented 4 years ago

It should update once a day, but you can force an update sooner by going to the plugin options. Not sure about vaxxter, that's been in the definitions a while and it's showing correctly for me. Was there a specific article you were looking at? It's possible the plugin encountered a javascript error of some sort, causing it to default to the questionmark.

grahamperrin commented 4 years ago

Thanks. I didn't think to look for preferences! My bad.

I couldn't reproduce the question mark at https://vaxxter.com/

It should update once a day,

Pre-update:

Post-update (manual):

– and after the manual update I got the no entry icon, so I guess that updates are not occurring for me. I'm almost certain that I found things similarly outdated with a test profile (just two extensions), if you like I can aim to make the issue reproducible with a clean profile.

The update logic has been rewritten a bit, is this still happening?
