I use Firefox and NoScript because I find sites use a lot of (superfluous) subsites to render their pages. NoScript kindly blocks the scripts from running.
Which normally isn’t too much of an issue, some areas may not function entirely correctly, but the main sites usually remain quite usable when the subsites are blocked.
However, recently whenever I go to the Patch Notes page (e.g. from the Launcher) I get the following which takes over the entire (scrollable) page and looks terrible:
Now, I don’t much care about the little widget in the top right, but hey someone else might. A main page really shouldn’t get completely destroyed by an “error” page overlay. I haven’t had this issue before so it seems like it’s been added recently.
Hopefully contenful can make their “error” messages less intrusive.
Thanks for the suggestion, it’s helped a bit… NoScript blocks the JS still, and UBO gets rid of some of the elements, but still has a rather ugly area when I scroll that just doesn’t seem to go away / be able to be blocked.
I don’t have Contentful blocked with NoScript and my Patch Notes page is clean. Might have something to do with other privacy addons. I also use Duckduckgo Essentials and Privacy Badger to block cookies and other tracking stuff.
Holy hell, though. What kind of reprobate crap is this contentful rubbish? For test purposes, I blocked that script with NoScript and then the 500 Server Error thing showed up as well. I tried then to remove that with UBO, but after 20 blocked elements, I gave up. What the heck?
It looks like it’s this small limited time ad banner in the top right. When I block Contentful with NoScript, the other bigger ad below still shows up, only that small banner is gone. When I scroll down like this, the 500 Server Error shows up. And I can’t remove this banner with UBO either. These dumb web designers at CCP really must feel accomplished to have wasted so much time on preventing people from seeing their ads instead of spending that time on making the website better.
