Hi guys,I saw you've been contributing to CORB explanation page: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/services/network/cross_origin_read_blocking_explainer.md . I assume you might also have some knowledge about its implementation and might be able to give some advice about it. There are multiple people who are having problems with displaying ads on their website. It is supposed to be caused by CORB blocking ads displayed by DFP [1] [2]. I think it might be for some, quite serious issue. Given on Google's help forum usually nobody ever gets help and problems are not escalated, nobody developing chrome/chromium might be aware of the problem. Do you know where and how such issue can be raised?Thanks,Andrzej
Hey,Here's a sample URL https://swiatprzychodni.pl/artykuly/oddawania-krwi-nie-trzeba-sie-bac/ which causes messages like: "Cross-Origin Read Blocking (CORB) blocked cross-origin response https://securepubads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/adview?ai=[...] with MIME type text/html.[...]"to happen. But as it was mentioned, ad content is very personalized. The problem might be with some specific creatives which are not displayed in US. Also whole topic was raised because people concluded that it causes ads not to display. It might be so, but it also might be that people don't see ads on their page, they check their chrome console and incorrectly conclude that the CORB is the reason for that. But there might be some other causes for not displaying ads. Anyway, on page I am sending you as an example, ads load correctly for me but the CORB messages are still there. So maybe only some not that important requests which track viewability are blocked.Szymon
We're also seeing the same problem on this page: timesofisrael.com - google ads (AdX/AdSense) are blocked by CORB, other ads (direct sold, other demand sources) works fine. All ads are served by DFP.
on the bottom unit. (very bottom below the next button)
Pur Adsense (not through DFP)
Weirdly enough it affects only that particular unit and according to adsense stats I'm loosing around 30 % ad impressions on that unit.
cheers,
Adrien
thanks,

Hello Łukasz,
Thank you for the quick answer!
Ok so I was misled by the CORB issue that shows in the browser... Still, how could a Google Ads request be failing while we use a standard implementation? I mean, we are using GTM & Google Ads tags inside of it to do remarketing & conversion tracking. The Google Ads support checked it all and our setup is fine. They could not explain why the request was "blocked", but thanks to you I now know that there is in fact an issue with the request itself.
Any idea?
Thomas
