Endless login/logout loop bitching about adblock

I set up a new machine, and am trying to log in on it -- and despite NOT having installed ANY adblock yet, neither FF or Vivaldi will let me stay logged in for more than a second, before the page reloads, logging me out and bitching me out for running an adblock.

This surprises me somewhat since my normal two machines ARE running adblocks and purr along quite happily -- I thought "ok, I'll install the adblocks" and after matching my vivaldi configurations 1:1 I STILL am unable to log in on the new laptop without it immediately booting me back out.

Despite

I flushed cookies, I emptied sessions, I made sure that the browser I'm typing on now and the one that isn't working are identically configured right down to the exact same stylish overrides. NOTHING.

Wonder if this is why traffic here has dropped to near zero; people can't stay logged in, and if you can't stay logged in you can't even bitch about it.

 

Thing is a clean vanilla no extensions installed Firefox does it too... and I find it unlikely to be the AV since it's Panda, which is ALSO installed on all my other machines. It's a VERY strange behavior since Vivaldi on my workstation configured with adblock plus, ghostery, the anti-block in tampermonkey, stylish telling your inaccessible broken styles here to shove it are present and working fine -- ALL things I would EXPECT to make the site fail.

The strangest part is HOW it's logging me out. It APPEARS to log in, works for about five seconds, then the page refreshes and logs me out showing the "You're running an adblocker" warning. STRANGE that the machines I AM running an adblock on do NOT do this... and for laughs I tried my netbook which ALSO just got a fresh install, and it's doing it too. What's REALLY wrong with that is said netbook is FRESHLY installed and hasn't even had an AV put on it yet. It's JUST Win 10 and Edge... So I can't even stay logged in on Edge with nothing else installed!

Has me worried that there might be something in the latest Win10 that if you do a fresh install is incompatible with these forums!

To be frank, for an OLD Opera user -- aka from before they told all their loyal users to go F*** themselves by slopping the Opera logo onto Chromium any old away -- Vivaldi gives us back ALMOST all the things "out of box" that made us use Opera in the first place. Like portrait mode tabs, like rocker navigation and gestures, like in-built accessibility overrides. About the only thing it doesn't have is a in-built mail client.

Extensions to do portrait tabs for Chrome suck because it puts them in an external window and doesn't get rid of the stupid malfing useless tab bar across the top. In firefox such extensions work better but cause massive stability issues. With Vivaldi it just works. You go to settings, choose "right" and boom, your tabs are a column on the right using up screen space that would otherwise go wasted.

It gives you far finer control over the user interface than other browsers; as others continue to dumb down things to the point they make IE3 for Mac look robust and customizable, Vivaldi lets you do all sorts of changes and gives you a slew of choices on how it looks, how it behaves, letting you match the browser to your own workflow.

This is further enhanced by it being a web application built with react, sharing more in common with atom or visual studio code than being a native executable. The underlying executable being functionally similar if not identical to how nw.js or electron work -- to that end you inject add your OWN personal JavaScript and CSS into the browser to control EVERY aspect of its appearance. Basically you can skin the browser with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript because the browser ITSELF is BUILT with those!

The folder-driven speed dial also being light-years ahead of the default or even any extensions I've seen for other browsers.

It is basically what Opera on Blink SHOULD have been, as opposed to the half-assed halfwitted pathetically backwards slop they gave us and told us to like regardless of how many basic features were missing from it.

THIS is why I use Vivaldi:

That it has everything that chrome does too right down to extension compatibility? Icing on the cake.

Unlikely since it's the browser signing me out of a website, not windows itself.

 

I basically had to block x.dpstatic.com/j to get the site working on this laptop. Even in a clean browser with nothing extra going on -- no adblocks, no AV, not a blasted thing else going on, the script loaded from there is forcing an immediate logout/page reload in Edge, Chrome, Vivaldi, and Firefox.

/FAIL/ at JavaScript. LOVE to see that script without the minification... or not given the train wreck of jQuery asshattery it appears to be.

Wonder how many other users are impacted by this and cannot even complain about it. It's sad when you have to install an adblock and block a directory to get around a broken adblock detector... and people wonder why I frown on that asshattery.

For anyone out there having this problem, either block JavaScript, or install adblock plus, and add "||x.dpstatic.com/j" to your manual filters.

Oh well, no scripted enhancements.... can still be used without them. (and no, you apparently don't need JS to log in either)
