Ghostery breaks document.onreadystatechange in Chrome

Edit Subject

Hi Daniel,

Could you describe your issue in more detail please?

I have a website which is already having a

document.onreadystatechange = function () {

}

feature and when using the Ghostery extension it kills my script :o

What do you mean by, "kills my script"? Is there a JavaScript error? Does the page crash?

Ghostery overwrites my document.onreadystatechange = function () {} :D

e.g.
http://bangit.at/lips/ (work in progress)

Chrome extensions should not have any effect on page JavaScript by design: https://developer.chrome.com/extensio...

I also visited your link with and w/o Ghostery, and did not see a difference. What should I be seeing?

Are you sure the issue is Ghostery?

Ok,.. just did some more testing against Ghostery Options and it only overwrites the script when "GhostRank" is on.

If I turn on Ghostery I only get a black background, and the console.log will only show:
interactive

not
interactive
complete

if I go to the Chrome Console and types in:
document.onreadystatechange
it returns:
function () {
state = document.readyState;
if (state == "complete") {
analyzePageInfo();
}
}

not:
document.onreadystatechange = function () {
console.log(document.readyState);
.........
}

this doesn't change anything it I choose to pause Ghostery or Stop Blocking bangit.at... the only way to bypass this is to disable Ghostery totally.

using Ghostery 4.1.0 and 23.0.1271.91 m
