Is Firefox censoring "Citizen Free Press" articles?

Posted on 05/22/2024 2:01:03 PM PDT by mouske

Firefox is not letting me access some articles that are linked on "Citizen Free Press." It shows an ominous black screen indicating that Firefox security prevents some articles from working if Firefox security setting is set to "strict." Curious, since my Firefox security is set to "standard."

Link to the warning screen: https://x.com/charliekirk11/status/1793348309857579275?failedScript=vendor

Comes right up for me, although I did get the "Can't find that webpage" error once. Tried again and it up just fine.

Firefox, Standard security settings.

My “NoScript” Doesn’t like it at all. They have included too many trackers and finger-printers scripts. I refuse to go there anymore at all. Obviously their priority is not the “cause”, but money period.

At our expense with trackers and fingerprinters we should not endure. I suggest they back off the profit margin and actually give a crap about the cause instead.

I use default settings for the ublock origin add in and CFP comes up. The add-in indicates 21 links blocked from their main page.

Free Republic count=0 btw.

Your link is to x.com and not Citizen free press. I usually use Firefox. Do you have the link to the CFF article

Shouldn't that be a question or do you have a source?

Don't worry, I don't use Firefox anyway, so your linked fine for me.

Firefox is doing it’s job as you asked it when set to strict. The site is NOT safe... My NoScript confirms it. If they do not get rid of some of those scripts it will continue to not be safe.

Here is the list of third party scripts they are running:

…citizenfreepress.com
…googletagmanager.com
…quantserve.com
…wp.com

All three google tag manager, quantserve, and wp.com are NOT safe... They are all 3rd party data mining scripts that track everything you do even when you are no longer on their site and report it to the government.

Domain owners need to wise up and dump this crap if they want to keep users. Even drive buy users are getting hosed.

Yep, absolutely, our site is the same... Zero 3rd party scripts and API connections period. We are in it for the cause not profits.

The FR used to use Google analytics, but thankfully they finally dropped it. If you want analytics there are “in house” tools for free to do this, no need to make a direct connection to Google and share everything with them.

Worked for me.

This is absolutely the problem. The unneeded 3rd party API scripts are unsafe as hell.

It has been bothering me for awhile now that they spam here on the FR considering the trap they have set for folks who go there from here.

Either they are ignorant to what they are doing, or care more about making a buck than they do YOU as a visitor.

Same here. Thank you "No-Script". (Thank you "Privacy Badger". Thank you "Ad-Block".)

Yes, the combination I have found after years of testing is just NoScript and “Ghostery” for the ads.

“Googletagmanager.com” alone is a ship load of permanent tracking scripts and fingerprinters that get installed into your machine. The only way to get rid of them all is to completely reload your OS and NEVER use Google ANYTHING or it opens the door the next time you go to a site with tag manager on it. Then it will load them all permanent again... Just clearing your cache DOES NOT REMOVE THEM.

If I am required to turn on googletagmanger in NoScript to at least read it I am gone from that site and never going back. I have no clue what is wrong with folks owning these sites. Every conservative and Christian site needs to dump those 3rd paty APIs like YESTERDAY. Money... It is all about that one extra penny...

It makes me sick that they would sell us out and throw visitors under the bus for that one extra penny from 3rd party scripts.

You can also use ublock origin to selectively disable javascript.

I ditched firefox with Brave and Opra when I went Linux. Never looked back.

Googletagmanager.com

I’ve noticed that it is impossible to avoid. I’ve given up.

“X” now informs me that “my browser is out of date”. Great! I never Twitted anyway, and now it won’t load if I inadvertently click a link to it. I feel safer already.
