Description

When using MS Edge 85 or newer.

This seems to not only be happening for the opt out see https://github.com/matomo-org/wp-matomo/pull/338 but also when clicking on any of our links to the Matomo UI such as the "Reporting UI" or "Admin UI". Basically whenever we load Matomo UI without the WordPress context around.

The only way around this be to route everything through the WP admin URL. I've tried getting this work when implementing Matomo for WordPress but it never worked because too many things get messed up. Making this work can be anything from 1-4 weeks of work.

fyi @mattab

Anyone having this issue it is safe to simply select "Show unsafe content" by clicking on the next next to the URL:

We also recommend everyone to first click on the "Report as safe" button hoping MicroSoft will adjust it's Smart Defender.

Research direction

Start by reviewing pull request #338 and the links to the Reporting UI, Admin UI, and the GoDaddy FAQ mentioned in the issue. Reproduce the behavior in Microsoft Edge 85 or newer and compare direct Matomo UI navigation with navigation through the WordPress admin context. Done means the affected UI links work without SmartScreen or GoDaddy incompatibility, and the FAQ removal task is addressed.
