Redirect URL unblocking does not work

[adguard-bot]

Issue URL (Incorrect Blocking)

http://go.redirectingat.com/?id=355X561&test=off&xcust=f2cfd8fecbda11efb6f16acd02ccaf120INT&url=https%3A%2F%2Fplayclassic.games%2Fgames%2Fpoint-n-click-adventure-dos-games-online%2Fplay-leisure-suit-larry-land-lounge-lizards-online%2F

Comment

I am starting from the following URL.
I have the following exceptions
@@||go.redirectingat.com^$domain=slickdeals.net,important,third-party
@@||slickdeals.net/click

I cannot get these URLs to redirect in Chrome. I disabled everything in AdGuard but the only way to bypass it is to actually disable the AdGuard extension.

I eventually figured out that I needed the rule
@@||go.redirectingat.com^$document,important

Specifically, the $document. I only figured this out because I tried the same web page in Edge (which doesn't use the AdGuard filter - only the AdGuard Windows App) and it displayed a nicely formatted AdGuard blocked page that showed the page was being blocked by a rule ||redirectingat.com^$document

What doesn't make sense is the logs as shown in the screenshot didn't show the page as being blocked and until I switched browsers and manually edited the rule (which was originally added automatically through the logger), I would not have figured out the problem.

So, while this isn't a bug, I am leaving it as open in hopes that Chrome browser extension can be improved to

1. diagnose the issue
2. not falsely show the page as not being blocked when it was
3. improve the unblock rule that was put into effect to include the $document portion

@chadcancode Hi. What the source of the link? An ad or something else?

Btw ||redirectingat.com^$document is loaded from EasyList.

The source was the slickdeals.net link from the original post. - Chad

I can't reproduce - all links to Amazon are direct.

Please use the slickdeals.net link I provided. It doesn't go to Amazon. - Chad

Correct. I figured out that you need @@||go.redirectingat.com^$document but my issue is that $document wasn't automatically added by Adguard when I selected the link to be unblocked. I needed to figure this out and manually update the rule.
