Chrome (okay, the “secure” fork of Chrome my company uses) keeps telling me it blocked ads on our Discourse instance: [SonarCloud TypeScript analysis exception java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - SonarCloud - Sonar Community - Island_001] But we don’t have any ads at all. We’ve got a few plugins and components installed in our public community, but I get the same warning on our internal instance as well, and AFAIK it’s pretty vanilla. Is anyone else seeing this? Any ideas how to ‘fix’ this?

I just read through this topic, and I can’t reproduce the issue. Does the issue occur on a normal Chromium build?

If there are no ads, could you simply ignore that, since it is a false positive?

Just opened your public site, and I can’t easily reproduce the issue. Is there a specific page that is affected?

Go to a topic. It doesn’t seem to happen on the list pages

There’s what I get for assuming. Thanks!

Chrome "blocking ads"?!

I can ignore it all day long. It’s my users I’m concerned about
