Site does not load, display fully (as seems to be mentioned here), imagines & likely other content.

Tested with PaleMoon 28.0.1 x64-bit
Site + images are loading fine. I've made two screenshots.

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/p ... ng-716647/ loads fine for me. Page Is identical in FF61.0.2 and PM 28.0.1 (x64).

Tomaso, it appears from the links you sent that comScore had issues 10-12 years ago, but the last bullet in that Wikipedia section you linked to says, "According to the third-party analysts' Alexa Internet and SimilarWeb researches, comScore is one of the best rated marketing companies." (The Disney stuff doesn't look good, but it doesn't affect me.) But if you want to block them, wouldn't it be easier to add them to uB rather than the whole MVPS file? Otherwise you get a lot of duplication with what's already there -- and you wouldn't have to enter exceptions for so many sites.

therube, where is the Error Console? The pages load okay in Vivaldi and Slimjet. I'm using 32-bit (with 64-bit W7), and gepus and tenseys say they don't have a problem seeing interior pages with 64-bit, so maybe it's a rendering issue with 32-bit PM?

MVPS HOSTS blocks a lot of stuff that other filters doesn't.
Despite this fact, it really isn't a very troublesome filter.
Appart from the CloudFront exceptions, the only other exceptions that I'm currently using for it are these (which allows me to watch videos at foxnews.com):

Code: Select all

@@dpm.demdex.net$domain=foxnews.com
@@metrics.foxnews.com$domain=foxnews.com

The filters that I've run into most issues with are without doubt the various Fanboy filters.
However, even for these filters, the author knows what he's doing, and all rules have been created for good reasons!
Also, the author provides good user support @ GitHub.

(SeaMonkey 2.49.5 x86)
URL: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/p ... ng-716647/


Site does not load, display fully (as seems to be mentioned here), imagines & likely other content.

In all other browsers I looked at, including PM 28, the site worked (as in all the images loaded).
(The site is crap, but that's a different story.)

SM 2.49 did not work correctly.

Turns out that it is a useragent issue. If found that to be odd.
Odd in general to have UA issues in SeaMonkey.
Odd, to me, that a site like rollingstone would sniff, in general, & then so poorly at that.
But then maybe not. (It is a crap site, someone said.) And they they probably just pulled some crap package to do their crap sniffing...
