STR: 1. Enable Tracking Protection 2. Load http://video.pbs.org/ 3. Click on any of the video images RESULT: Nothing happens. If you disable Tracking Protection, then clicking the video images navigates to that video's page.

Thanks for reporting, Chris. I looked at this and it appears that the link works fine if you right-click, but they are doing something like overloading the onclick handler with code that depends on an analytics script that we are blocking, so left-click fails. I'm not sure what we can do in this case short of allowlisting the analytics scripts.
