NoScript blocking Twitch ads
Posted: Mon Aug 11, 2014 3:51 am
Below is what I wrote on the Twitch help form, but I'm not sure if you guys might be the better people to ask, so I'll ask here as well:
----------
I'm running Firefox 31.0 with the NoScript 2.6.8.36 add-on. This seems to be blocking ads on Twitch... It's not an ad blocker; I block scripts for security and privacy reasons, but this sometimes had the side effect of blocking ads on some sites. I'd actually prefer to watch the ads on Twitch so I can support the site and the streamers who I watch.
I've whitelisted the Twitch domains that seem necessary to get everything other than ads working properly. I found that if I disable the NoScript add-on completely, I can watch the ads. However, this leaves my entire web browsing experience vulnerable, so I need to find a way to let only Twitch past... I also found that if I disable only the script blocking, but not the entire add-on, then ads are still blocked. (The add-on has additional features like cross-site scription protection, something they call ClearClick, and a few other things...)
Does anyone know how I can get Twitch ads to work without eliminating my NoScript protection for all websites?
----------
I'll also add this, which I did not explain to them because I didn't know how without terminology they wouldn't understand...
I am using ABE as well, but ads are still blocked with this set of rules:
...and then some other stuff that shouldn't be run because "Site *" should catch everything. (The reaons the list doesn't stop here is because the "Site *" was only added here for testing purposes... since it catches everything, I figured I could leave my "normal" rules intact while bypassing them during my test.)
Thanks!
