Good catch. Yes, that will block EventLogging requests.

I don't think there's much to do about it. We could play cat-and-mouse by changing the URL of the logging endpoint, but I don't think that that would be ethical. I don't even think it's a bad thing for this rule to exist, to be honest.

The % of users this affects is probably miniscule, since EasyPrivacy is not a default subscription, AFAIK.

I don't have an idea about this one. Will keep an eye on it.

Ori, I have "/event/gif?" filter rule enabled under EasyPrivacy: https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easyprivacy.txt

The version of AdBlock itself is not significant; what is significant is the filter subscription, which is a set of URL patterns and element selectors that AdBlock will block. The most popular one (and the one that is installed by default) is EasyList, and I do not see EventLogging in its list:


Other filter subscriptions are listed here: https://easylist.adblockplus.org/en/

I checked the popular English-language ones and did not see EventLogging filtering. bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup and meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:RecordImpression are filtered, but the fundraising team should be aware of that already.

FWIW, I tested this quickly by going to en.m.wikipedia.org on my browser (which has Adblock Plus 1.8.8) and clicking the left nav, which I know has EventLogging attached to it on mobile web. I saw event.gif in the console, transmitting the following JSON:

  1. {"event":{"name":"hamburger-settings","destination":"/w/index.php?title=Special:MobileOptions&returnto=Main+Page","mobileMode":"stable","username":"Deskana (WMF)","userEditCount":223},"clientValidated":true,"revision":5929948,"schema":"MobileWebClickTracking","webHost":"en.m.wikipedia.org","wiki":"enwiki"};:

As far as I know, I use default Adblock settings.

If you want to do some troubleshooting with my browser as a control, I am in the office chilling on the hammock, in spite of the rain [1].

Thanks,
Dan

[1]: Yes, that's what it is. Rain. You Californians might call it stormageddon or whatever, but the rest of the world calls it rain. ;-)

Hi everyone,

   From some initial tests it appears to me that EventLogging is not logging events from Linux/Firefox when Adblock is enabled. I'm on Ubuntu 14.04, Firefox 34.0, and Adblock Plus 2.6.6. When I disable Adblock, I see event.gif?{...} in Console, when I enable it, I don't. Just to make sure, I've checked the EL tables and my events don't get registered there.

   I'd be happy to sit with someone to troubleshoot before 4pm (PST), after 5:30pm (PST) or tomorrow.

Leila
