Instart Logic
Increasingly, sites are using Instart Logic to block tracker blockers, aggressively preventing people from protecting themselves from tracking. See The Register article on Instart Logic.
Traits of this system are:
- Google ads served first-party from g00.domain.com
- All other required page resources (scripts for functionality, content images) are also served from g00.domain.com
- Using the browser’s developer tools often triggers the page to behave differently
- Hiding an element on the page using
display: none
causes the page to occasionally load without CSS
We can’t currently work out a way to block this and protect people from the tracking scripts it hides. We’ll keep working on it, but if you visit a site that uses Instart Logic, we recommend you avoid it in the future until they stop trying to prevent you from protecting yourself.
