Abstract

Claims (23)

1. A computer-implemented method for preserving web page functionality through dynamic analysis of host web pages, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising one or more processors, a memory, and an operating system stored within the memory, the computer-implemented method comprising:

monitoring a web page accessed through a web browser, wherein the web browser applies a blocking policy that blocks an external domain from loading functional content into the web page resulting in a breakage in the web page;

identifying the breakage in the web page by analyzing visual components, by modeling web document structures, or by supervising network-layer connections, wherein the breakage in the web page is identified through a visual recognition of a breakage notification presented by the web page itself;

correlating the breakage in the web page with the functional content from the blocked external domain;

modifying the blocking policy to allow the external domain to load the functional content; and

reloading the web page.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the breakage notification is displayed in a banner on the web page.

3. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising one or more computer-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a privacy server, cause the privacy server to perform a method for preserving web page functionality through dynamic analysis of host web pages, the method comprising:

monitoring a web page accessed through a web browser, wherein the web browser applies a blocking policy that blocks an external domain from loading functional content into the web page resulting in a breakage in the web page;

identifying the breakage in the web page by analyzing visual components, by modeling web document structures, or by supervising network-layer connections, wherein the breakage in the web page is identified through a visual recognition of a breakage notification presented by the web page itself;

correlating the breakage in the web page with the functional content from the blocked external domain;

modifying the blocking policy to allow the external domain to load the functional content; and

reloading the web page.

4. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 3 , wherein the breakage notification is displayed in a banner on the web page.

5. A computing device comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising one or more computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to perform a method for preserving web page functionality through dynamic analysis of host web pages, the method comprising:

monitoring a web page accessed through a web browser, wherein the web browser applies a blocking policy that blocks an external domain from loading functional content into the web page resulting in a breakage in the web page;

identifying the breakage in the web page by analyzing visual components, by modeling web document structures, or by supervising network-layer connections, wherein the breakage in the web page is identified through a visual recognition of a breakage notification presented by the web page itself;

correlating the breakage in the web page with the functional content from the blocked external domain;

modifying the blocking policy to allow the external domain to load the functional content; and

reloading the web page.

6. The computing device of claim 5 , wherein the breakage notification is displayed in a banner on the web page.
