Description Michael Gratton 2014-01-29 23:34:32 UTC 
It is common practice these days for commercial web sites to include Google Analytics-style parameters to the query part of a URL in email for web visitor analytics.

The presence of these parameters are (I think) triggering AdBlock in Ephy 3.10.3 and are causing the page to not be loaded - clicking on the link in the email results in a new tab appearing with the URL in the address field, but the page remains white and is not loaded.

A typical link looks like this:

http://www.strava.com/settings/profile?utm_source=strava&utm_medium=email&utm_content=settings_textlink&utm_campaign=2014_01_29_LoggedOutProfile_A

The problematic query param appears to be the first - "utm_source". The link loads fine after removing that:

http://www.strava.com/settings/profile?utm_medium=email&utm_content=settings_textlink&utm_campaign=2014_01_29_LoggedOutProfile_A
