Consider renaming "View" buttons

Open midimusicman79 opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

In Mozilla Firefox, on page 33, or in Google Chrome, on page 31, in the FilterLists:

Upon clicking the blue information button for the Disconnect Malvertising Filter List and clicking the View link, it does NOT display the filter list as clear text in the web browser but instead opens a download window.

However, doing the same with all the other three similar filter lists from Disconnect, such as the Disconnect Advertising Filter List, the Disconnect Malware Filter (Domains), and the Disconnect Tracking Filter List, DOES display the filter lists.

I am using uBlock Origin, and just as a test, I temporarily managed to subscribe to the Disconnect Malvertising Filter List, but I thought I would report this issue anyway.

For the specific list you are referencing, this issue would need to be discussed with the Disconnect team as they own the resources at those URLs we link to. It appears to be that the Content-Type response header might be what is causing the different behavior between the Disconnect lists.

That being said, we might want to consider renaming the buttons on FilterLists.com from "View" to some other word that better indicates "View" or "Download"...
