µBlock, a lean and fast blocker

1.47.4

 

Ah, of course, thanks!
I must've been too excited.

 

@mantra,
Have you tried if adding that filter rule in uBlock Origin 'My filters' makes any difference?
www.youtube.com##.ytp-ce-element

And if you hadn't already, have you tried if adding a filter list for your specific region / language, under 'Regions, languages', in 'Filter lists', makes any difference?

If both don't help, it may be a difference between uBlock Origin on Firefox and on the browser that you use.
Or perhaps I don't use YouTube often enough to have noticed or to remember the YouTube annoyances that you mention.

There is some good news, perhaps you read about it, already:
Starting on April 6th, the 'overlay ads' will no longer appear on YouTube, according to this post:
Optimizing ad formats - overlay ads are going away in April

 

Yes, here finally it's 1.47.4 on Firefox. Stealth update.

@Stupendous Man
hi
yes i have tried with www.youtube.com##.ytp-ce-element
but adguard still work better under chrome , maybe because i use youtube without loggin
thanks

 

Hi mantra,
I also use YouTube without login.
Perhaps the different experience is because of the different browser, or as I said, perhaps I don't use YouTube often enough to have noticed or to remember the YouTube annoyances that you mentioned.

 

You might get better results using Invidious for YouTube videos: https://docs.invidious.io/instances/
At the simplest, try replacing "youtube.com" with "yewtu.be"

 

uBlock Origin Lite:



uBlock Origin:

 

I get a score of 12%...
121 not blocked, which is false, because uBO (1.47.5b6) shows 121 redirected to noop.txt in the logger.

So I advise the dev of that site to fix it, or just pull the plug out of it.

 

Open an issue:

Given the dearth of other reliable test adblockers I think it's best to try to make the one least worst reliable.

 

I decided to once again enable Fanboy's Annoyance and AdGuard Annoyances since I might have falsely accused them of causing certain websites not to work. However, I still get to see pop ups on certain sites like thestreet.com, see link. But this was only with AdGuard enabled, so I decided to also use Fanboy.

Thanks, this just might do the trick.

 

uBlock Origin also offers 'uBlock filters - Annoyances', 'Filters optimized for uBlock Origin, to be used with Fanboy's and/or Adguard's Annoyances list(s)'.
I use Fanboy’s Annoyance plus uBlock filters Annoyances.

 

Good point, I didn't even notice that. But for now I will stick with these filters, because the more you enable, the bigger the chance you will run into problems. But so far, so good.

 

There is already a similar issue, though not as "bad".
Strange thing is, that in Chromium I get a 100% score.

Relevant Reddit thread.

But nevertheless, I commented on that issue.

 

I just noticed that I didn't get to see any pop up on this site when Fanboy's and AdGuard Annoyances were enabled, but I did get it on another machine where I had them disabled, so these filters really help.

I can't figure out what rule prevents videos from playing at https://dailybuzz.nl

 

If you are using Edge would #edge-autoplay-user-setting-block-option in edge://flags help?
I don't have videos playing at that site.

 

Sorry, my bad for not mentioning the browser. I use Opera exclusively, always in the latest build with uBlock Origin extension.

 

It looks like this. No button to play.

 

Open the uBO logger where you can exactly see what's blocked and create appropriate exception filters.

 

Yes, I tried to do that but to no avail. Hence I wrote ... what rule prevents ...
The funny thing is that when I excluded the entire domain from uBlock filtering, reloaded the webpage and then enabled uBlock back, suddenly the videos are playable.
