Probably some new detection script was added.

I don't have time to handle this, if anyone can do some research and find the relevant script that would be great.

Alteranatively, use script blockers, uMatrix is highly recommended.

fastest solution would be removing the div with id "botspopup_wrapper" when it appears

xspy007 commented 5 years ago

Ilan What do u mean by removing? Yuval should do that?

uMatrix is for firefox, any good alternative for chrome ?

There are thousands of users for this add on, and its important for the democracy and free speach, pitty haaretz are choosing to disregard it and demand payment many cant or will not afford to them selves, when haaretz is such an important voice.

hopefully a solution will arrive.

It seems that if https://github.com/easylist/EasyListHebrew is used the specific blocking script doesn't execute. This is probably the "right" solution as some of the blocking behavior already depends on the ad block list.

This will solve the issue: add to the css file

botspopup_wrapper{

display: none;

}

botspopup {

display: none;

}

GR8 Solved.

Please make a signed .xpi. Firefox won't install the unsigned addon, claiming that "it appears to be corrupt".

yuvadm commented 5 years ago

@grebulon Sorry I still haven't had the time to do a release. Some other devs will be joining the effort shortly and helping out. In the meantime you can do a temporary install https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Temporary_Installation_in_Firefox

It seems like haaretz.co.il has just removed the annoying pop-up altogether. Cheers!
