Read first: https://github.com/nikrolls/uBlock-Edge/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

Whenever I visit this website iwatchonline.cr and click anywhere inside this page, I have "Microsoft Official Support" Pop ups and they are frustrating. I have to open task manager just to shut down MS Edge immediately. This doesn't happen on Firefox or Chrome. I did a malware scan to make sure as it didn't find anything. It's a Ublock Origin issue with Edge because these ads also appeared on other random sites in the past that normally Ublock Origin should be blocking. Firefox and Chrome doesn't have this problem when tested, and I also read somewhere this is a common fake scam with Edge apparently.

One or more specific URLs where the issue occurs

iwatchonline.cr

Steps for anyone to reproduce the issue

  1. Go to iwatchonline.cr
  2. Click anywhere around the page
  3. Pop ups would appear (they rarely got closed immediately each visit to the site)
  4. Microsoft official support pop up comes up
  5. Task manager has to be opened in order to completely close these pop ups

Solved for now by using the following code (in case anyone might come across this). Now closing this issue.
||s3.amazonaws.com/$xmlhttprequest,domain=www.iwatchonline.cr
