disconnect's Issues

disconnect interferes with redfin images

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. View a house on redfin (e.g. http://www.redfin.com/WA/Mountlake-Terrace/24202-45th-Ave-W-98043/home/2755061 )
  2. Click on a picture of the house.
  3. Click on a second picture.
  4. Click back to the first picture.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to see the first picture again, but it fails to load and instead no image is displayed.

Disabling the Disconnect addon and reloading the page causes the page to behave as expected.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Disconnect 3.0.5, Chrome 10.0.648.205, Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.

I used to have this problem with old chrome Adblocker but it went away with Adblock Plus. (I disabled adblock plus for this test, just to be sure.)

Do we want to use this image provided by your fan?

Fist of all, thank you for a good extention. It has always creeped me about what FaceBook does. And there has apparently been a few leaks by hacker-attacks too.

Well, as the title says, I would like to know when the extention "disconnects" facebook. I know that you have listed this as a planned feature, but the future is not implemented yet. I also made a (bit cluttered) page-action icon to speed up things ;-D :
http://s.knarf.se/fb-discon.png

Hmm, 19x19px really is a small space. I tried to get a thumbs-down hand, facebook icon and a power cord with a cross over. I does not force you to use it, but if you like it, then it is yours.

Adding this bug report so that people can vote on this feature, I hope that you don't feel that I'm trying to force you to work. Which is not the case.

Cheers!

Do we want to allow for blocks content from facebook to appear on a few exceptional sites?

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. So far I have only tried this on Wordpress sites
  2. adding a facebook Like box for (say) a fan page, either with raw FB code, iframe or a WP plugin

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.02 on both Windows and Mac versions of Chrome 8

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm building a couple of band websites and clients want to display facebook fan page info on some pages. Visitors with this extension enabled will be unable to see the content

Comment 1 by [email protected], Nov 9, 2011
This issue continues to exist with version 1.2.0 on Chrome 15.0.874.106.

With the plug-in enabled, nothing renders - and you don't even know there was something to see there. With the plug-in disabled - and it renders fine.

Take the above steps, and you can see it on a blog post from my company website - http://www.opscode.com/blog/2011/11/09/like-our-new-facebook-page/

Notes by Gary

This is a contradiction. The next foreseeable dispute to arise from other users would be why are facebook widgets blocked on some sites and not on others. There will be no end to this.

Google contacts redirect loop with disconnect

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Block Google tracking with Disconnect
  2. Navigate to www.google.com/contacts
  3. Log in to Google Contacts

If I do the above, I end up with a message telling me I'm in a redirect loop. Unblocking Google tracking fixes the problem.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output is Google Contacts. What I see instead is a message that says:


This web page has a redirect loop.

The web page at https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=contacts&passive=1209600&continue=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fcontacts%3Fpli%3D1&followup=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fcontacts%3Fpli%3D1 has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Google Chrome 8.0.552.224. Disconnect 2.1.1. Windows 7 64 bit.

Please provide any additional information below.

Do you want to implement this feature? Allow to hide Disconnect button from Toolbar

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. I try to customise my Navigation Toolbar in Firefox
  2. I drag the Disconnect button off the toolbar to buttons tray to remove it from the toolbar
  3. The Disconnect button is now gone from the navigation toolbar
  4. I restart Firefox, the Disconnect button appears back on the toolbar

What is the expected output?
What do you see instead? I expected when I removed the button from the navigation toolbar that it remain gone and not re-appear when I next load Firefox

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Firefox 3.6.18
Ubuntu 10.10
Disconnect 1.0.1

Please provide any additional information below.
I only use disconnect to permanently block all Facebook connect elements on pages. I never toggle this option on or off and I don't block any other services. I have no need to have the button on my toolbar and I don't like loads of uneeded buttons on my toolbar so I want to remove it.

Notes by Gary:

I wonder if it makes sense to implement this feature. This user could be better served if he installed Facebook Disconnect instead. Implementing this feature on Disconnect might serve to confuse other users who wish to block widgets other than those from Facebook.

Thanks. A quick fix isn't possible unfortunately (but you can unblock Yahoo in the meantime) -- I'll have to address with an option page where you can pick your preferred Yahoo homepage.

Do we want to make contrast darker between Unblock and Block states of 5 icons

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Left click on the Disconnect icon in the Chrome toolbar.
  2. View the five icons (Digg, Facebook, Google, Twitter, Yahoo)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

  • I see the expected output.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

  • Chrome 8.0.552.224 and Disconnect r20.

Please provide any additional information below.

  • I would like to see a clearer change in icon between the Block and Unblock states of the 5 sites. Since the Unblock state is a grey icon, making the Block state to a darker contrast would be helpful, in my humble opinion.
  • A fabulous extension though.

Strongly support this. I'd even suggest the red "NO" circle & slash instead of using different contrasts.

And great extension, thanks!

Multiple cookies (all Google ) left behind when Disconnect extension is enable

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Clear all cookies, Cookie settings: Do not accept any cookies, whitelist/exception [google.com, www.google.com]
  2. Sign into google reader. View/Show cookies on machine. You see a long list of every possible cookie for all of google applications including adwords.

Comment 1 by project member byoogle, Jan 16, 2011
Thank you, great bug report. I attempted a workaround (http://code.google.com/p/byoogle/source/detail?r=21), but there still seem to be cases in which cookies remain after logout.
Status: Started
Owner: byoogle
Labels: Disconnect
Comment 2 by nspanther, Jan 17, 2011
Very much appreciate the attempt to fix the issue. Can you explain the reason for all Disconnect cookies being created up front? Is this really necessary? Originally, I thought it was the website dropping the cookies until I looked closer. I believe this is a notable issue because the average user will think that Disconnect has enabled (Google, .etc) to track his/her browsing just by looking the cookies (adwords, .etc) created in the browser. There is no real explanation of the technique so the use of cookies leave a user to "trust" that the cookie he/she sees are not the websites/Google.
Comment 3 by project member byoogle, Jan 17, 2011
Google (and Yahoo) implement single sign-on -- when you log into one service, you get a set of generic cookies that are sent to many other services. The problem is some of those many services include search features, allowing your search history to be tracked. Disconnect instead generates many specific cookies that only let you access and transmit your personal data to non-search services.

Breaks Google Maps API?

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Go to http://onebusaway.org/where/standard/
  2. See no maps

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Maps. If I disable disconnect then it works.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Chrome 10.0.648.127, Mac OS X 10.6.6

Please provide any additional information below.

I thought this was only going to block things on 3rd party sites that used my cookies. I don't think this page does/should use my cookies. But then again, I'm just not clear what the assumptions of disconnect are...

Theoretical question by user: what's the difference between “Disconnect” and "Incognito"

Brian, Thanks for your great work "Disconnect" that stops Google tracking.

However, I am a safari user and I am using a extension named "Incognito" ( http://www.orbicule.com/incognito/ ) They say it can do the same things as "Disconnect"

so i wonder which is better . and is there any plan that makes two projects to only one? a new project better than both?

Do we want to provided the following feature request? Detailed information about blocked objects

What:
A possibility to show all objects/transmissions that have been blocked by disconnect would be nice

Why:
Sometimes, taking a quick look at what has been blocked by the Addon would make aít easy to rule out any problems without the nesseccity to unblock the whole Google part for example.
Comment 1 by Steinkiller, Jan 2, 2011
This is an enhancement of minor Priority

Notes by Gary:

The last time we discussed over GoToMeeting you did not want this feature implemented as this is too similar to the feature available on Ghostery.

Can't shut off Google Instant with Disconnect

1.Install Disconnect in Chrome, do no setting of Disconnet preferences or settings (haven't looked to see what you can or can't do)
2. Go to Google search and try to shut off instant. It forces you to google's preferences page where the Location field is required. No matter what valid location I enter, it raises an error dialog (see attached)

  1. I tried setting Disconnect to allow Google then I entered a valid address to some podunk town in Montana and saved successfully and got no instant Google, but as soon as I block Google in Disconnect, the instant google comes back on.

Bottom line: seems like it's either live with google instant (which I don't like) or set Disconnect to allow Google (which I don't like).

Win 7 Home edition

Go to the front page of singaporeair.com. Near the top there is an alert about New York flights. Clicking on that has no effect. Enter in two random cities (eg SIN and SFO) and some random dates and hit book or show schedule and nothing happens.

I looked at the source but I've never written chrome extensions before so it's quite confusing. The diff I attached seems to make the twitter link go away, but I'm not totally sure it's the correct change to make.

I could not find the twitter link anywhere on the site. This is despite using Opera that is not installed with Disconnect.

500 error on all code.google.com pages

I have Disconnect 3.0.4 installed on Google Chrome on the Mac - 12.0.712.0 (Official Build 79102) dev.

If I attempt to browse to http://code.google.com/ I am eventually served a 502 error; attempting to go to something deeper, say, http://code.google.com/p/byoogle/, gives me an instant 500 error.

Opening a private browsing window and operating on Google Code works as expected.

Initially, it seemed that unticking "Depersonalize searches" was enough to fix this, but right now it doesn't seem to make a difference either way.

(This bug report bought to you by Firefox. :)
Comment 1 by andre.hayter, Jun 7, 2011
Same issue here. Any code.google.com url returns a 500 or 502 error eventually in Firefox. If I put the same address in Chrome it returns the site with no problem.

Tried:
clearing cache
turning off IPv6
checked proxy configure correctl

Allow Google reCaptcha widget to load

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Go to any web page that uses Google's reCaptcha service

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

reCaptcha should load
Instead, reCaptcha does not load, inhibiting the functionality of that page.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Observed with 2.0.1 on Chrome 8.0.552.224 on OS X 10.6.5

Please provide any additional information below.

Could also be resolved by allowing site-whitelisting for Google cookies, so that things that use reCaptcha would be manually enabled -- but just allowing reCaptcha to work properly while continuing to anonymize or reject Google tracking cookies would be preferable.

Comment 6 by gabrielperren, Mar 11, 2011
This extension doesn't get along with 'Rapportive' extension (http://goo.gl/ieH3t), it blocks some 'Facebook' images.

Being able to white-list Gmail would solve this (or maybe add a workaround for 'Rapportive'?).
Comment 7 by stephenjudge, Aug 13, 2011
I'd like to be able to manage a whitelist locally so I an whitelist certain websites as I see fit, rather then having to request them to be whitelisted by you for all the extension users. For example I generally want to black all Facebook connect items on all third party websites. But then there are also some Facebook apps that are hosted on the own domain that are completely build around Facebook connect so it must be able to access Facebook connect to work, e.g. http://hotcuteorokay.com . I don't want to be toggling the Disconnect Facebook button on and off all the time, in fact I'd rather not have the Disconnect button on my toolbar altogether. Instead I'd like to manage a whitelist that always allows the use of Facebook on the whitelisted sites.
Comment 8 by arnulf.metzger, Aug 25, 2011
On the help forums and here under issues there are lots of topics related to specific sites. I believe most of these issues can be resolved if every disconnect user can locally whitelist specific domains. I for example am using a little known German financial website that Disconnect interferes with. No need to adapt Disconnect to this site that nobody else uses, but a simple option to whitelist this page/domain to completely prevent Disconnect from parsing the page would solve all issues!

Thank you.

Can't login to StackOverflow

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Use Chrome with Disconnect installed.
  2. Go to stackoverflow.com.
  3. Click "log in".
  4. Try to log in using Google as the Open ID provider.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: See stackoverflow.com page where I'm logged in.
Instead: Chrome reports redirect loop

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Disconnect: 3.0.5
Chrome: 12.0.742.68 beta (older versions are affected too, I guess)
OS: Mac OS X 10.6.7

Please provide any additional information below.
Redirect loop of this type usually means that a cookie could not be set. However, I think I managed to isolate the problem and relate it to Disconnect by first trying to log into stackoverflow with Disconnect enabled and failing and then disabling Disconnect, restarting the browser and successfully logging in to stackoverflow. I guess this is another instance of a known issue - not being able to use Google Docs.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Clear cookies

  3. "This webpage has a redirect loop"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

beforeload event firing infinitely

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Visit the Python Twisted page at http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ (required a reload in some cases)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected behavior would be normal extension output. Instead, you will see block count increasing rapidly, 100% CPU utilization, increasing without bound

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Version 3.0.3 of the extension, 10.0.648.133 of Google Chrome, Mac OS X 10.6.6

Please provide any additional information below.

I loaded the page at the URL listed above. Observed the block count spinning up rapidly. I paused the script and stepped through until I moved up the call stack into the JS belonging to the extension (content.js). Set a breakpoint in the 'beforeload' event handler. Observed calls into this function repeating infinitely, each call bumping the block counter.

Comment 3 by laboboLink, Oct 1, 2011
Let me guess, when you refresh the page, F5, disconnect works again ?

I think this has to do with chrome not extensions content scripts at the right moment or something like that.

Very hard to reproduce, for me, but a bug should be filed at crbug.com if none yet exists.

Comment 1 by stephen.daunheimer, Jul 7, 2011
I am also having this problem. I emailed Mog.com first to see if it was a problem on their end and their response was:

Thank you for your inquiry. Facebook is not a requirement to use our new browser. We do offer a facebook connect option but it is completely optional and is by default disabled on all profiles.

You were getting the error in your browser because the Facebook disconnect extension is enabled.

The Facebook Disconnect plugin is supposed to only block requests from 3rd party websites to Facebook. Our Chrome player does NOT make calls to Facebook directly and shouldn't be impacted.

The Facebook Disconnect plugin developer built his product in a day. He encourages people to write him and log bugs. We have already submitted one to him and encourage you to do the same as it should not be causing issues with our player.

Please see https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ejpepffjfmamnambagiibghpg...

We are not the only only site this plugin is impacting. It is creating issues with other sites that use Flash Player. In the meantime if you do not want to disable it, we suggest using another browser, IE supports the new player.

They have released a new version of their website that is basically a port of the Chrome extension, and it is also unusable with this or Disconnect running.

Here's what I did,

  1. blocker for google is off
  2. go to google docs (just the homepage, not an actual doc)
  3. turn on blocker for google
  4. refresh the google docs page -- I'm not signed out
  5. sign back in - land at google docs homepage
  6. click a doc to open
  7. get the following error

This webpage has a redirect loop.

The webpage at https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=XXXX&hl=en&pli=1 has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.

Also, having the google blocking on regularly signs me out of gmail
Comment 4 by john.hinnegan, Dec 15, 2010
In step 4 of the previous post, it should read "I'm now signed out" vs. "I'm not signed out"

and by 'google docs homepage', I mean the page showing all of my docs, my link being https://docs.google.com/?pli=1&authuser=0#all
Comment 5 by IanMLewis, Jan 25, 2011
I simply can't log into google docs with the extension enabled.

For docs.google.com I was redirected to: http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=32050&hl=en&ctx=ch_CheckCookie&p=writely

which says:

"If you've been redirected to this page from the sign-in box, we've detected an error with your cookie settings. Please follow the instructions for your browser listed below. After clearing your cache and cookies, try signing in again."

For google apps I get redirected back to the login page.

If I try to access docs for either a google account or google apps account I'm logged out of the respective account and can't access gmail or other google services.
Comment 6 by project member byoogle, Jan 25, 2011
I never had much luck reproducing this issue. Till now. Hopefully, I can spot the cause next.

You can sidestep the problem altogether by unchecking the "Depersonalize searches" box (which I added because there seem to be Google-configuration corner cases I can't solve and I wanted to at least let people stop social-widget tracking).
