Mising images in techrepublic.com

Unread post by freefrog » 2022-05-04, 08:57

When opening articles from https://www.techrepublic.com/ no article images are displayed, here is an example: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/ho ... soft-edge/

This is not a site specific issue because I've noticed the same problem in other sites.
No error messages are displayed in the Error Console and the images are shown in Firefox and Chrome.

The images in the linked article all show for me, the same in Pale Moon as in Firefox.

Which sites? Give links please, so others can compare notes.

Does this also occur for you with a fresh profile (no extensions or other modifications) ?

Those images don't load for me if I don't allow cloudfront.net js to run, which is my normal setting. But if I allow the cloudfront.net js then the images on that page do load.

You're better off whitelisting it, it is an Amazon CDN used by thousands of sites.

I can confirm that it seems the techrepublic.com problem is caused by "$ping,third-party" rule from EasyList.
Now I'll have to see if the rest of the sites with image problems work with it disabled.
Thanks for the help.
