#1280 Privacy Badger blocks content from apps.fedoraproject.org
Closed: Won't Fix a year ago by wombelix. Opened 7 years ago by jistone.

On my first visit to pagure.io, it looked very plain and poorly laid out. It turns out that Privacy Badger flagged content from apps.fedoraproject.org as a "tracker" and blocked it. When I relax this to just block cookies, the site looks much better.

I'm not sure of the full algorithm PB uses, but I'll bet being cross-domain is part of it.


Adding a comment to get on the CC list. Which itself seems to be bug #746

@mjw it's not a bug actually, you will be a getting a mail for my comment.

If we could figure out more precisely what the issue is with PB, I'm up to try to fix it :)

This FAQ entry seems to describe some solutions for using contents
from foreign sites that are not Do Not Track compliant:

I'm running into this issue now. It causes pagure to become unusable. I think this is a high priority to resolve .

Work around is to add fedorahosted.org to whitelist in privacy badger.

The last update was 5 years ago, no further requests, updates or actionable tasks since then. Also I'm using Privacy Badger myself and couldn't identify any issues so far on pagure.io, I'm going to close this issue for now to reduce our backlog.
