Research direction

Start by reproducing the report at scripting.com, then use the uBlock Origin Logger to inspect the counters.scripting.com request and the EasyPrivacy rule identified in the issue. The payload names no repository file or test; done would require an agreed change that resolves the blocking without breaking the site’s counter request.

Description

Dave - a quick look shows that it's choking on the "http://counters.scripting.com/counter?group=scripting&referer=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fscripting.com%2F..." link.

Here's how I found this

  • Go to http://scripting.com - see the ublock origin icon with a "1"
  • Click the ublock origin icon - see the dropdown for the site
  • Click the Logger icon (rectangle with black bar at top) See the list of URLs fetch.
  • The pink one is the one that's blocked. Click it
  • This opens a details pane that makes it look as if "Easy Privacy" is blocking the string ".com/counter?".
  • Perhaps you could tweak your software to request something like "scripting.com/scriptingcounter?..."

Good luck!
