The problem is:

Aguard is whitelisting it:

@@||cdn.privacy-mgmt.com/unified/wrappermessagingwithoutdetection.js$from=news.sky.com|owlcation.com|reelrundown.com|tomsguide.com

fanboy's list is blocking it:

/wrappermessagingwithoutdetection.js$from=10kysymysta.fi|2050.de|4fansites.de|4players.de| .....|tomsguide.com| ....

@ave9858

add for now in your "my filters"

||cdn.privacy-mgmt.com/unified/wrappermessagingwithoutdetection.js$domain=tomsguide.com,important

@Alex-302

Is there a reason why AG whitelists that GDPR script for tomsguide.com ? Usually whitelisting GDPR scripts is done because embedded content won't work, but at least videos and tweets work fine:

https://www.tomsguide.com/news/twitter-is-down-for-many-users-here-are-the-latest-updates https://www.tomsguide.com/news/the-secret-sauce-to-stunning-summer-videos-with-filmora

Maybe that whitelist rule is not needed anymore?

@peace2000 see the discussion on slack => blocking videos

mapx- commented 1 year ago

@ave9858 the cookie thing cannot be hidden otherwise a lot of videos would be broken.

If you still want it just add the filter I specified above

When I click "More Options" with the annoyance filters on, I never get another popup that allows me to select the cookie options. Disabling "AdGuard – Cookie Notices" seems to fix the issue, but I'm not sure what cookies I need to allow to have the site fully functional. What URL should I use to test if videos are broken?

mapx- commented 1 year ago

add this exception

@@||cdn.privacy-mgmt.com/privacy-manager/$frame,domain=tomsguide.com

ave9858 commented 1 year ago

That works to access the second popup with AdGuard Cookie Notices enabled. I'll use the first filter you sent since I haven't been able to find any pages with broken videos. Thank you for your help

mapx- commented 1 year ago

first add tomsguide.com#@#.jwplayer__widthsetter

then go to https://www.tomsguide.com/reviews/google-pixel-8-pro

the video will be broken if you use ||cdn.privacy-mgmt.com/unified/wrappermessagingwithoutdetection.js$domain=tomsguide.com,important

ave9858 commented 1 year ago

ty, I must have missed those videos since they are blocked by the default config. I'll keep both blocked.
