Javascript Loading Issues in Microsoft Edge with Automatic Mode Enabled

    Hi there,

    I was really pleased to hear about the “automatic” blocking mode last month.

    I’ve since learned that it destroys most of my sites in Microsoft Edge.
    I realised this was the cause and flicked back to manual.

    I can see that other people have reported similar issues and the advice has also been to switch back to manual mode.

    However, it would be useful to know if there’s work going on in the background to allow “automatic” mode to work without destroying sites and if so, if you have any estimated time lines for such a fix?

    A solution that involves turning off the great feature you released last month, is disappointing.

    Hi @kwebdesign,

    We believe that autoblocking is the future, so we are working on fixing all known bugs with top priority.

    Would it be possible for you to set up a test-site that breaks in IE and send us a link to reproduce the issue? The email is: [ deleted ]

    @cookiebot I’ve deleted your offer to login to your user’s site. This includes test sites.

    I’m am 100% sure you mean well but please never ask for credentials. I have flagged your account temporarily. That just means that your post will need to be approved and @ notifications from you will not work.

    Now for the why: The internet is a wonderful place full of very nice people and a few very bad ones. I’m sure everyone here is very nice however, by giving some ones keys to your house you are trusting they wont steal anything. Likewise the person who takes the keys is now responsible for the house FOREVER.

    If something was to go wrong, then you the author may well legally become liable for damages, which they would not normally have been as their software is provided without warranty.

    Please be aware that repeatedly asking for credentials will result in us asking you to repeatedly stop before escalating up to the plugins team.

    There are many ways to get information you need and accessing the user’s site is not one of them. That’s going too far.

    You get the idea.

    Volunteer support is not easy. But these forums need to a safe place for all users, experienced or new. Accessing their system that way is a short cut that will get you into real trouble in these forums.

    Hi @jdembowski,

    We actually didn’t ask for login credentials, just for a publicly available website where we could reproduce the issue, which @kwebdesign did set up for us, which resulted in a bugfix.

    I believe in this case the account flagging is unjustified, however it is of course your call.
