This story, the most recent in this site as of this writing, automatically opens Safari for me when it gets loaded into NewsBlur. (This includes while viewing stories before/after it since the pages are preloaded).
Ideally a story that isn’t even being viewed shouldn’t be able to steal focus from NewsBlur…
So I can confirm this is happening, although I’m not sure what to do about it. It’s because I allow iframes in story content. I can quite easily disable them, but some publishers use iframes for content and metrics.
If I decide to automatically filter out iframes, I wonder if it will have a negative effect on other feeds.
I’m guessing there is no way to easily prevent the launch itself, rather than the iframe loading? It’s somewhat annoying that Safari launches when I view the story, but more annoying that it launches when viewing adjacent stories. I had been keeping this story unread all day until I got back to my Mac.
