A JavaScript browser library fails due to an adblocker blacklisting 'beacon.js'
An interesting related anecdote on this is that at least in Chrome, adblockers can also interfere with extensions&#x27; attempts to load scripts, load stylesheets, or open windows. I maintain an extension with a smallish active userbase (~20k people) and a couple different times I&#x27;ve encountered mysterious failures that were the result of clumsy keyword blocklists in ublock&#x2F;adblock&#x2F;etc - for example an extension asset (packed into the extension, not on a web server!) containing the word &#x27;popout&#x27; caused it to get killed silently, and renaming it made it work.<p>Naturally you can troubleshoot a lot of this with &#x27;does it work if you disable adblock?&#x27; but it&#x27;s a real pain to have to convince users that they can&#x27;t use your software along with their broken adblocker.
