Ghostery Blocks the content.js file from JSON Formatter (Chrome Extension)

[konqui]

Description

Ghostery Blocks the content.js file from JSON Formatter (Chrome Extension)

Expected Behavior

A possibility to add scripts from other chrome extensions to a Whitelist.

Actual Behavior

The Json Formatter Extension is useless since all its functions are in that on content.js file which gets blocked. I think it must be blocked by one of the Entries in the Ad Categorie since those are the only ones I have set to block. Right now I don't have the time to check one by one which exactly it is.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Gostery Extension on Chrome
2. Block all Ads
   
3. Install JSON Formatter from Chrome Webstore https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/json-formatter/bcjindcccaagfpapjjmafapmmgkkhgoa
4. Open any Page with RAW JSON Data

Versions

• Browser: Google Chrome Version 67.0.3396.62 (Offizieller Build) (64-Bit)
• OS: Windows 7 Professional DE 64bit
• Node: v8.9.4
• NPM: 5.6.0

I just tested this against Ghostery 8.2 and it appears to work fine for me. Do you have a specific JSON url we could test?

e.g. https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts
When I pause ghostery plugin, JSON is rendered correctly after page refresh.

This seems to be related to the Ghostery purple box. With purple box enabled (Ghostery > Settings > Purple Box) I can continually refresh the link provided above and eventually the JSON Formatter will break. With the purple box disabled it doesn't seem to happen.

I'm running in to this issue as well. My solution was to remove Ghostery. Formatted JSON is more important to me that what Ghostery provides.

I have also been facing this same issue since a long time.

This still appears to be an issue. I am using Microsoft Edge Chromium 87.0.664.60 and Ghostery 8.5.4. I have tried a couple different JSON formatter extensions and they do not until I disabled the "purple box" per @christophertino's comment above. Its now at (Ghostery -> Settings -> Tracker Tally)
