This does not affect ScriptJäger because it does not use blocklists, but if you are using uBlock or another extension that uses them this is more than worth checking.

@An_dz Hmm, that's a funny development. But who is stopping me from adding this line myself if it should get removed in the future? If there is a major strike against list providers I imagine people will just host their lists elsewhere, or change their publication methods.

An_dz

@luetage Of course, we will always have what we want, but it does not make this less stupid and annoying. This interfere with all the people who don't know about this, people who just use uBlock because it blocks stuff and is happy with the defaults.

It's just me or Scriptjaeger is blocking facebook?
in relaxed mode
static.xx.fbcdn.net
is being blocked, i have to manually whitelist it.

iAN CooG

and another one I had to whitelist
s.chzbgr.com
at http://www.cheezburger.com/
else most of videos even if links from youtube won't display anything.

An_dz

@iAN-CooG
For Facebook, is that on facebook.com? Here Facebook only loads scripts from facebook.com and none from fbcdn.net. And it should have allowed it.

And for s.chzbgr.com it fails to contain any of the common traits that ScriptJäger checks.

For us humans it's easy to see that it's just a contraction of cheezburger, but not for a machine.

try this

@iAN-CooG Nope, still no fbcdn.net. Must be country specific.

I'll try to debug manually any way.

Edit:
Found the problem, which is pretty obvious, in the default settings fbcnd.net is blacklisted. Facebook used to only use this server when on other sites and not on their own.

I'll try to see if they still use that on other sites. If so I'll keep this blacklist but add a whitelist for their own site.

An_dz

I've just released an update, it includes the Facebook whitelist on its own domain but also include an Allow Once button that will allow all scripts temporarily in that tab while you navigate that site without saving any settings. This was a nice request on the Italian forums.

Allow Once will stay on while you don't:

Close the tab
Navigate to another site (different domain and/or sub-domain)
Click the button again to turn it off

There's a new version fixing private browsing.

If you don't use blocklists, how does the plugin decide if a resource is classified as "ad" or as "non-ad"? Can you shed some light on this?

I am using ScriptBlock as a general and fast-to-switch "forbid all JS" tool in combination with uBlock Origin with quite complex configuration pattern on different websites. This enables me to access only the servers I want and block anything else (default is "block all", so I have to allow manually).
I am aware that this is not as comfortable as getting it full-auto, but I keep control.

So seeing how I do it now, how could I see / control / override what your plugin blocks or not blocks?

Thanks for any explanation

An_dz

@morg42 Heuristics.

The extension has 4 blocking options:

Block All
Blocks all scripts from anywhere
Allow All
Allows all scripts from anywhere
Filtered
Allows scripts from the same main domain
Relaxed
Allows the same scripts from filtered plus some that follow simple rules

More detailed information on how all this works and how the UI works can be found on the wiki.

An_dz

I just updated it to improve the UI. The preferences page is better, the popup lets you change the policy of frames directly and clicking on relaxed or filtered will change the checkboxes to show which hosts will be allowed or blocked according to your settings.

And this version comes with translations to 4 (6?) languages: English (UK/US), German, Italian and Portuguese (Brazilian/European).

sjudenim

It works really well on most sites I've tested and uses about 2/3 the resources that uBlock Origin uses. However, even on relaxed it is a little too aggressive with some rules. On Gmx, after logging into my email, the interface is entirely blocked from loading. Other sites have comments and videos blocked. An easy fix in the setting but those aren't saved over to the next session

An_dz

@sjudenim Settings are not saving? What does the console say in the preferences page?

Comments in some sites not loading is expected as many sites use third parties for comments, and those third parties are trackers.

As for GMX, can you share the settings needed to get it working?

sjudenim

@an_dz

Gmx is a funny one. If I allow all, I get ads on the side.

When I use relaxed, it blocks everything but has only one entry
ui-portal.de

allowing it creates 2 new entries
trackbar.navigator-...gmx.com
home.navigator-bs.gmx.com

Ads still don't show but neither does the email tab, the others (contacts, settings, etc.) do though $:\$

Another issue I've come across is not being able to log into Steam. Every time I input the info it just resets. A pop up asking to enter a code should appear instead

QuHno

@sjudenim Huh? That looks like a mix between .de and .com domains.

gmx.net which is available only in Austria, Swiss and Germany needs the following rules:

      "name": "gmx.net",
      "rules": {
        "domains": [
          {
            "name": "tifbs.net",
            "sites": [
              {
                "name": "uim",
                "rule": false
              }
            ]
          },
          {
            "name": "ui-portal.de",
            "sites": [
              {
                "name": "img",
                "rule": false
              },
              {
                "name": "js",
                "rule": false
              }
            ]
          },
          {
            "name": "uimserv.net",
            "sites": [
              {
                "name": "uir",
                "rule": false
              },
              {
                "name": "united",
                "rule": false
              }
            ]
          },
          {
            "name": "web.de",
            "sites": [
              {
                "name": "dl",
                "rule": false
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    },

Can't say anything about gmx.com because they don't let me in from here unless I mask my IP to one from another country than .de, .at or .ch

sirharlekin

Can you add the option to sync the site preferences via google account?

An_dz

@sirharlekin I can, and will do in the next version.

Thanks! Keep up to good work! I will test it and provide feedback.

Can you add the option to reload the page automatically, if rules are changed (if i click outside the UI-window)? Today i only see "reload and allow all"? This for me means "allow temporarely".

Maybe - this is just a suggestions - make the ui-icons easier to understand. i like the different colors, but within the hat icon they are some times not easy to dinstinguish. Maybe take a look at Scriptsafe (just for UI ideas), where the green icon is really big and easy to see. With ScriptJaeger, if i understand correct, if i "allow" domains etc. the icon turns red - kind of unlucky. I understand the reasoning behind this like: pay attention you allowed all scripts from everywhere. But i guess the user already but thought into this and may be irritated by the red icon.

I hope you dont mind my input. Looking forward to see this extension being developed.

/edit: I hope you dont mind the "spamming" this topic with suggetions, if so, i would gladly switch to github.

Minor suggestions: For sites/tld that have no sub domains or do not refer to any other sites (for example https://www.schwbv.de) can you nevertheless show the domain in the pop-up UI? At the current state its empty and only shows "relaxed". This is a little bit irritating, although i know it means "only one domain the state is relaxed". It would be cool to also see the domain in the ui window.

/edit2: oops, i guess the single domain show-up in ui-popup is already implemented, i guess i mixed that one up.
