    I take it that these should be copied to my filters in UBO. Is that correct.

    In earlier post #5315 I see you now have Phishing Domains Blocklist ... may have been already discussed, but your reason for preference over Phishing Army blocklist?

    Those filters are best written as follow:

    Code:
    ||rest^$all
    ||gq^$all
    ||work^$all
    ...
    
    "||" means "anchor to start of hostname label", and since you want to filter out specific TLDs, then you just need to anchor to the TLD label, no need for wildcard. Anchoring to a wildcard means a URL such as "https:// example.com/path/file.rest" would match "||*.rest^", which I am sure is not the intention here.

    Thanks Gorhill, it is a great pleasure to learn from the master.:thumb:
    I have already changed the list with the correct syntax you suggested.
    :)

    Code:
    ! The Most Abused Top Level Domains
    ! https://www.spamhaus.org/statistics/tlds/
    ||rest^$all
    ||gq^$all
    ||work^$all
    ||tk^$all
    ||ml^$all
    ||viajes^$all
    ||casa^$all
    ||london^$all
    ||cf^$all
    ||fail^$all
    ||surf^$all
    ||date^$all
    ||cam^$all
    ||exposed^$all
    ||fit^$all
    ||asia^$all
    ||golf^$all
    @ to all

    I deleted the "buzz" domain which today has a score of 1.24, whoever wishes can enter it again.

    Only because the list I chose has fewer rules.
    My pc has little RAM (less than 1GB) and a very old processor.

    Does that advice also work for TLDs like .com.cn? Would the site be blocked if you're using ||cn^$all rather than ||*.cn^$all?

    Guys I have noticed some weird things. Lately I have noticed that in the "right click" context men you will get to see "Block element in frame", is this something new? I think it's unneeded.

    Also, I couldn't figure out how to allow twitter.com on www.ad.com, see link. Normally I would simply allow this script, but this isn't possible anymore.

    And another thing, I got a fake Win Defender ad on some adult site, but it also hid the mouse cursor, so I couldn't control the browser anymore, and eventually Vivaldi even crashed. Isn't uBlock supposed to block this stuff, or is this more of a browser problem?

    It's one which I have never visited before, you know sometimes you just click on links and you end up somewhere. Legit adult sites don't show these type of ads most of the time. But I was suprised it could take over the browser and even made it crash.

    If you know the link (browser history?), you could consider reporting it to the devs.
    Malware?

    I had to remove easylist privacy which for several years hasnt really broken anything, but a mainstream site got broken by it (Forgot which, but it was important enough for me to go, ok of it goes).

    Report it to easy list

    Also u can exclude the site or the particular filters that are breaking it, ublock origin has a lot of functionality, u dont have to remove entire filter for one site

    I couldn't find it anymore, the problem is that you often get redirected to certain sites. I did notice that you can block quite a few of annoying ads when you block third party frames and inline scripts. BTW, does anyone know how to remove the annoying floating video's on dailymail.co.uk?

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowb...ams-115-sandals-socks-outing-Heart-Radio.html

    I don't think it's a problem with Vivaldi, it would have probably happened on all Chromium based browsers, I was really surprised that you can still take over the browser with JavaScript. On the other hand, I wonder what their end game was, because if you make the browser crash you ain't going to make any money as a scammer.

    upload_2021-2-1_21-28-42.png

    then again

    ofc this makes the video stuck in "video playing in bottom right corner"

    I try to avoid using all separate extensions as most extensions become abandonware when dev gets bored. I think a twitch adblocker was made only 2 or so months ago and already abandonware.

    Which brings t my question, does anyone have ublock rules to stop the current twitch video advertising, its extremely abusive.
