NoScript and links that jump to specific parts of a page

[plum]

It seems NoScript blocks links like this from working:

Code: Select all

https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/awesome-selfhosted#irc

...unless the site is marked as allowed. Why is that? Is it considered Javascript?

This link however, will work:

Code: Select all

https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/awesome-selfhosted#user-content-irc

Github is a special case, they use JS to make those links work. More typically, sites will do it like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo#See_also or like https://noscript.net/getit#devel, both of which work without JS for me.

<Mc> i see an issue on github sites like https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues
<Mc> with just github.com allowed it shows dates, with assets-cdn.github.com also allowed it shows hours and days instead
<Mc> allowing (and revoking allowed) assets-cdn.github.com the page doesn't reload automatically as it should
<Mc> reloading manually the content changes as expected

Is this the same sort of issue?

Nope, that's a NoScript bug - viewtopic.php?f=10&t=22267
