Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 3.32.1.2-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation? Gnome Web/epiphany-browser is set to
"try to block ads" by default. In my case this setting seems to have
no effect on the ads being displayed. Every tested site still
displays ads and sites designed to block browsers using adblock
display a notice saying "ads are being allowed."
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)? I tested with numerous sites, toggled this setting,
and edited the default adblock lists. None of these actions led to
the blocking of any ads.
* What outcome did you expect instead? With no element hiding I would
expect some limitations with the functionality of the built-in
adblocker but it appears in my circumstances something is rendering
this feature non-operative.
