Rubicon not recognized

Sample: www.sfgate.com
(loads a script called alice.js)

I think you just need to change the detection pattern from /optimized-by\.rubiconproject\.com\// to /(optimized-by|tap-cdn)\.rubiconproject\.com\//

  • This does not appear to be working again. Go here:

    Scroll way down the auto-generated page, and you will find a Rubicon video player. Disable Rubicon, reload page, .... and the video player still loads.

      This might be written wrong.. If you are blocking all.. Rubicon is not on the page since its piggy backing off of another tracker. If you pause tracking then it shows up. This is expected behavior.

      IF you disable a tracker.. the action happens. So I'm not following your statement here: "Disable Rubicon, reload page, .... and the video player still loads. "
