Bitdefender blocks new tabs to sites with trackers

Dotti

Hi All,

Bitdefender seems to be blocking new tabs leading to pages with tracker/affiliate links. In itself, not a bad thing! However, in this case I am clicking on a link from my Payback account, so that I can collect points with my purchase. The tab simply won't open, so I cannot use the referral to collect points. It's happening since installing Bitdefender, so it's probably a setting or exception I need to add somewhere, but can't find it. Any ideas?

Thanks, D.

Hello @Dotti and welcome to the Community!

The blocking is most likely caused by the Anti-tracker feature.

The Anti-tracker extension blocks trackers that collect your data and allows you to view and manage this information on each website you visit. It keeps your browsing data private and enhances performance by loading webpages faster.

Check the article below for steps on how to customize the settings to unblock the page:
