Odd RefreshBlocker behavior

Unread post by 29 Skidoo » 2017-06-07, 09:37

I am now finding that RefreshBlocker is breaking the Google Translate site.

I have tried whitelisting https://translate.google.com/ and https://translate.googleusercontent.com/ -- but I still get that big yellow blocked URL box. I've tried the 'Target URL" and "Current URL" options to no avail; the box always appears, and the translation never occurs.

With "Target URL" or "Current URL" selected, clicking on the link in the yellow box takes me right out of Google Translate and displays the original language page (with the original language source's URL in the location bar at the top of the browser). This began recently -- it used to behave properly. Now, the only way I can used Google Translate to operate (and probably other sites too, I'd imagine), is to disable RefreshBlocker -- not really a viable solution each time I need to visit a site affected by this new behavior.

Here is an example page.

Here is what I get:

Just to help me understand -- is this a PM issue, or an RB issue? (i.e., does RB need to be tweaked to be "PM-friendly", or is it just a bug in RB?)
