It's "normal", but it's not good. I'll mark this as a duplicate of #1596.

It's "normal", but it's not good.

may you elaborate?

Please see my comments in the linked issue and let me know if you have any questions here.

i mean is this an accepted behaviour or needs to be fixed?

Have you looked at #1596? Yes, this is a problem.

yeah, and is it fixable?

You could write to money.it and tell them Privacy Badger is not an adblocker.

In the meantime, you could either disable Privacy Badger on money.it, or figure out which of the trackers is causing the message to appear and move the slider for that tracker to "yellow" (block cookies) or "green" (fully allow). If you figure out the responsible tracker domain, please let us know here.

We consider the general problem of Privacy Badger triggering adblocker messages to be a serious issue that we would like to respond to eventually. Please subscribe to #1596 for updates.

i have found out what slider is causing the issue and it is always google (who else?):
tpc.googlesyndication.com
i only switched it to yellow and no more adblock messages pop up

it's weird but today anti adblock frames popped up again and i had to turn slider yellow also for pagead2.googlesyndication.com

today, popup showed up again -_____________________________________________-
disabled www.google-analytics.com (yellow) and seems working again

wtf is happening?!?!

today popup again. i don't know eventually what is causing it. i will try to contact the website owners.
