@yeswap how does that fix opera's issue and display the blocked content in the notification box as expected??
EDIT:
to give an example, here's an image of what UBlock displays on this page:
you can clearly see what content is blocked by the extension -

@Tcll You can't change what Opera displays and I don't see any reason why they should either. That alert box is for end users. They can't fix your website so all they need to know is that there's a security issue with it.
It's your website. You are the developer and developer tools should give you the information you need to fix it.

That alert box is for end users.
which doesn't provide enough information
You are the developer and developer tools should give you the information you need to fix it.
shouldn't an extension blocking particular domains count as a dev-tool??
You can't change what Opera displays and I don't see any reason why they should either.
I mean, I could if I felt like hacking it
but here's a reason why they should:
to provide a better quality product and end user experience
information on blocked data should not be hidden from the end user, that's just poor qualityif I can make my FOSS applications more quality-packed for end users that displays all information they need to know
Opera certainly can too
or is proprietary code really just that bad that the developers can't make things easy for end users to see things?
(I'm willing to write in the functionality myself, it's so trivial)come on guys
or am I really just backing the wrong people??

@leocg said in Unknown insecure content blocked:
If a browser is blocking something because it could be a (security) risk for the user, then why that browser should show the link to what was blocked, exposing the user to the risk?
you're not showing the full link, only the domain name of the resource blocked
I don't see any security risk here because the user is usually aware the reported content is malicious.
it's common sense to know NOT to expose themselves to the domain
but if they do, that's entirely on them, not your fault@yeswap said in Unknown insecure content blocked:
@Tcll What extension are you using that you think is blocking insecure content?
All browsers block insecure content by default. As far as I know none of them give end users detailed information.the extension I'm using that I know is blocking the content is Opera's ad-blocker:
(this is engine-level functionality, which is better than something like UBlock)
but compare what you've told from it here:
to something like (I had to find a site that displayed info on everything):
UBlock:
Avast:
TrafficLight:
why is it all these extensions can display more info than Opera?
now yes, TrafficLight is very vague when it comes to blocked content
but it still gives you relative info to look atand all extensions (including Opera) even allow you to unblock said content
so that whole security risk argument is invalid since you have an "Unblock" button
(actually you have 2 security companies shown proving your argument invalid)so since you have an unblock button, why not display the domains of what's blocked for a better quality user experience??
I've just shown 3 extensions that give a better user experience (more pro quality) than Opera's more than ad blocker.
please fix this -

@yeswap alright that's fair
I didn't reallize this was a general browser feature and not from opera's core engine-level "extension"that said though, you're turning core functionality into an extension
why not add extension level functionality for better error reporting as well??
I still hold my offer, I'm willing to add such functionality if you guys aren't
(and being a FOSS supporter, I'm willing to do it for free) -

@leocg hmm...
I guess that's fair
and in defense of that (now that I recall), UBlock does have the default option to display less info, looking like this instead:
Don't forget to also ask for Chromium.
you mean like, request on the Chromium project??
or request on the Chromium build of Opera??sorry, mind my autism
EDIT: where would I request btw, if here isn't the option do do so??

@leocg oh '3'
alright, sure thingand as for the chromium bit
I think I'll hold off because chromium doesn't have a built-in ad blocker "extension"
you guys are the only ones doing this I'm afraid, Vivaldi and Brave only have extensions.I know I can request on their GitHub though, but I highly doubt they'd listen
I think we both know Chromium isn't exactly focused on privacy or chromium-based Opera wouldn't need to exist.
let alone Vivaldi, Brave, Comodo Dragon, and other less secure Chromium-based browsers.so yeah, I'll just request here since it's your functionality

@leocg or rather, merging the ad blocker and content blocker into a more secure service, and providing extended information for various uses...
I'll be honest, with common sense, I thought Opera's ad blocker and content blocker were the same thing
or rather, logically, I thought Opera's ad blocker was an extension of the content blocker...
why would they be different? that just abstracts the same functionality into something less maintainable
anyways, yeah I'm not making that chromium request
I'm pretty sure chromium isn't going to integrate an ad blocker unless something goes viral and there's a REAL (mainstream) need for ityou guys would have a better chance bashing some security sense into chromium devs than I would
and even then, they'll likely just data collect for google anyways, which isn't exactly comforting
(this is exactly why un-google'd chromium exists) -

just to notify, the request has been made here:
