adblock #2674

Closed Ecliipsxx closed 3 years ago

Ecliipsxx commented 3 years ago

I am using the free version of photopea. I also use an adblocker in chrome (adblock plus, specifically), and receive the popup about disabling adblock or signing up for a premium account. I disabled my adblocker (I know it is fully disabled because I am now seeing ads on youtube that I wouldnt have previously, and have fully relaunched chrome) and still receive the popup.

Can you disable all browser extensions? Any extension can modify Photopea, so you need to find the one which does that.

XenocodeRCE commented 3 years ago

I think you need to rewrite your anti adblocker thing, because it even detects if you have it installed, and not necessarily turned it ON.

this makes this awesome service suddenly very annoying and people will use another free service with no pop up like that

and here is screenshot of Edge ://Extensions

this is getting ridiculous, we cannot have some extension installed and turned off.

Hey Photopea dev team, first thing first: thank you for the absolutely awesome app that you guys made available for free!

So, the add block detector is definitely acting up. I installed the app to see if it goes away, and I also whitelisted your domain in Chrome to allow cookies, but none helped.

What exactly happens is that the pop-up asks to turn off Adblock Plus (in this case) even if it's turned off. I always had it off on your site, as it just seems fair, and the ads are none intrusive and placed in a proper and respectful way.

Here's a screenshot about the alert asking me to turn it off next to an ad :) clipimage

EDIT: Later today I had a pop up that got dismissed automatically when the got ad loaded, without hitting [ OK ]. That's sooo weird.

I keep on getting this pop-up that askes me to unblock my ads, but I don't know how to because my school Chromebook uses adblocker I think. I get ads on youtube and other sites though. Any info on this?

@XenocodeRCE @nbuz1 In your case, Photopea can not access this URL: https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js

This is a regular URL, which should be accessible from a regular device on a regular internet connection. Can you access that URL in your browser? I do not have any browser extensions and I can access that URL just fine. I do not see any popup in Photopea.

Photopea and other websites have no way of detecting what extensions you are using. All we can detect is, that your device is "not regular" for some reason. It is you who should know what you have installed on your computer, or who is blocking domains on your network.

I can access that file without any issue :) as underlined by other members, your adblocking js script also detects if they are installed, not only if they are turned on.

Also that prevents Microsoft Edge with medium privacy policy to be able to use photopea (no tracking scripts etc)

Sorry, but your service went from marvellous to utterly annoying to use, and user count will drop massively if you don't react to that.

Also, we cannot pay with bitcoin, only PayPal ? That prevents lots of people from paying it.

photopea commented 3 years ago

@XenocodeRCE As I said, there is no way a website can know what extensions you have installed. So what you describe is impossible.

If your popup message ends with "5", that means, that Photopea can not access the URL https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js .

dentistformyeye commented 3 years ago

It is possible for a website to discover what extensions are installed, but Photopea isn't doing so. @XenocodeRCE Does Edge have a way to turn off tracking protection on a per-site basis? If not, you'd have to request that the devs add in that feature.

dentistformyeye commented 3 years ago

I'm stumped on what is happening with @nbuz1. Chrome doesn't have any tracking protection except for third-party cookie blocking, and I doubt Google Ads needs cookies to work properly. I'm not sure what could be triggering the popup, other than some system app such as an antivirus.

photopea commented 3 years ago

@dentistformyeye how exactly can a website discover the extensions? I think it is not possible.

Chloeishereforissuesthatneedtobesolved commented 3 years ago

this is kindof getting annoying. how do i leave the list?

The pop ups stopped appearing in my case, and I didn't change any settings. I just came back to quickly save a couple of icons and all went fine.

About the js, well outside Photopea I cannot access it, because I do use an ad blocker, and it is turned off on the complete Photopea domain, so I'm not sure how could I check if I can access it XD.

It hasn't appeared again since a while now...
