iMacros for Chrome and ABP Erroring my Macros?

Post by inck243 » Sun Feb 12, 2017 3:46 am

I'm using chrome (8.4.4) and iMacros for chrome Version 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit). OSX 10.11.2

I use Adblocker Pro and iMacros throws an error even when I use errorignore. The error says RuntimeError: Navigation error occurred while loading url (URL) details: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT, line: 2

I can disable ABP but I don't want to because the page has a lot of ads and it SLOWS down the macro so much since it waits for the ads to load, and the whole point of this macro is to be FAST and FIRST. I don't want any ads displayed on the page. how can I continue using ABP and blocking adds and imacros not throwing an error?

Hum, I don't know your 'ABP' which is maybe specific for CR but I know ABP (AdBlock Plus) + ABE + uBlock on FF and for all 3 you can "tune" them with what exactly you want to filter and which HTML Elements / Scripts you want to block or allow (= whitelist)...

I don't know this RuntimeError, never seen before I think, it is maybe specific to v8.4.4 for CR... Have you tried using '!ERRORIGNORE', maybe combined with a short '!TIMEOUT_PAGE' if the Page still loads a bit correctly, as iMacros will probably wait for that Element/Script to get loaded...?
And hum, it is possible that the Error comes "deliberately" from the Site itself as they detect that you are using some AdBlocker, it's a bit of a "Cat & Mouse" Game on that domain, ah-ah...!
- (F)CI(M) = (Full) Config Info (Missing): iMacros + Browser + OS (+ all 3 Versions + 'Free'/'PE'/'Trial').
- FCI not mentioned: I don't even read the Qt...! (or only to catch Spam!)
- Script & URL help a lot for more "educated" Help...
