Regression of #239: Branch blocked by EasyPrivacy / EasyList

See original GitHub issue

Affects anyone with default settings on Adblock Plus, AdBlock, uBlock Origin or uBlock, among other blockers who include this list, which is also available for IE9+.

Static filter ||branch.io^$third-party found in:
EasyPrivacy

Easy Privacy blocks Branch by default, with no fallback’s in the default web integration script (thus silently failing).

Additionally, when this is allowed,

Static filter ||app.link^$third-party found in:
EasyPrivacy

This however results (correctly) in an error in the branch script loaded, so the end-user can be notified / redirected.

Please note that calls to text me the app endpoints silently fails because of similar issues.

Hard to believe that this issue is still open, since it renders branch.io absolutely unusable for the web… Did anybody find a solution that doesn’t involve having to ask page visitors to disable their ad blocker?
