Cannot post review - disable adblocker which is already disabled...

Perhaps it's Edge, but having taken the time to write a review, and not be able to post it because "adblockers prevented your review submission" - won't be wasting that time again. Pop-Ups allowed, adblockers disabled, yeah yeah yeah....

Oh - PS - don't buy the LG 24MQ450-B.... you'd know why, if I could have posted the review...

Good afternoon @MEC2

Thank you for contacting micro center. I do apologize you are having issues posting your review on our site. for this when you try to submit the review, do you see any icon appear in the address bar showing it blocked a pop-up and where it may let you manually approve the pop-up? Also have you tried this with any other browser like google chrome or Firefox?

Yeah, I just decided they don't really want my reviews then. I'm not turning off any of my protections and they're lucky I even have JavaScript turned on.

Yeah, Microcenter's tracking of review posters in particular is actually ridiculous. I have no such difficulties with giving them money, of course. So chances are, this isn't for my benefit.

Among other things, they use IESnare for some reason, a cookie-based fingerprinting system that's mostly used by online gambling services. I'm quite disappointed in Microcenter for this. In someone's mind, I imagine this was a way to 'gather information about market trends', as if someone taking the time to leave a review wasn't enough.

IESnare is included in many hostfile based blocklists for good reason. That might have something to do with why disabling adblock wasn't enough in some cases.
