Ask HN: PG&E site does not function with ad-blockers

4 pointsby harikbabout 1 year ago
NOTE: PG&amp;E is California electric&amp;gas utility company site (pge.com). Issue only occurs when a real customer tries to login.<p>I am trying to debug why I can&#x27;t login to PG&amp;E site when I use pi-hole&#x2F;dns ad-blocking. pi-hole seems to block the following URLs from PG&amp;E login page [1] [2] [3].<p>Net effect is that I can see a greyed out logged-in page, can see my amount due in a faint color, but can&#x27;t click on any subsequent links because some &quot;grey out everything until page is fully loaded&quot; event hasn&#x27;t happened.<p>So sad<p>[1] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cdn.appdynamics.com&#x2F;adrum&#x2F;adrum-4.5.9.2098.js<p>[2] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cdn.optimizely.com&#x2F;js&#x2F;1115471569.js<p>[3] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;s.go-mpulse.net&#x2F;boomerang&#x2F;....

I am using NoScript on Firefox, nothing else. When I tried to log in, first it made me go through a stupid password reset, that involved sending a plaintext temporary password to my email account, answer a security question, then force me to change my password, which I changed back to the original one. What a joke.<p>Anyway, in NoScript I had to &quot;temp trust&quot; pge.com, while leaving all those other links (the ones you listed and a few more) as &quot;untrusted&quot;. So right now I am logged in, but there is a pop up asking (forcing) me to &quot;update my contact info&quot; in case of a Public Safety Power outage. There is a little 3-dot progress icon I can see in the middle of the pop up, like it&#x27;s trying to refresh something. I can&#x27;t escape the pop up unless I click on &quot;Update contact info&quot; (even though I have no updates).<p>So I did that, not actually updating anything, and now I see what you describe, a grey-ed out page with my info, but the little 3 dot progress spinner just running continuously, and my mouse cursor also spinning continuously when hovering over the page.
