µBlock, a lean and fast blocker

The Adguard filters are part of the stock uBO filters.
Try one or more from those first.

No breakage on YouTube for me on Chromium dev. 117.0.5926.0

 

Thanks. AdGuard – Ads is breaking YouTube here. The rest is ok so far.

 

I have that one enabled, but it gives no issue.

Did you "Purge all caches" and "Update now"?
If that doesn't resolve it, then test in a new Chrome profile with uBO default settings + "AdGuard – Ads" enabled

 

Eduard Ursu author of the d3ward test:

https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html

says it solved compatibility problems with Firefox.
My scores:

Firefox + UBO = 89%

Edge + UBO = 94%

Edge + AdGuard MV3 = 97%

Edge + UBO Lite = 99%

It is recommended to enter the extension and close and reopen the browser before running multiple consecutive tests.
As usual, each test has validity for what the test is worth.

 

Floorp browser, a firefox derivative:

uBO + NextDNS = 87%

NextDNS only = 92%

Exact same results as above with Firefox.

 

Indeed.
Now I get 100%.

 

He obviously hasn't.

Sigh. This has been discussed several times. Here, with Firefox + uBO 90% are shown as blocked (with or without Dynamic Filtering in Hard Mode). With the filter @@*$redirect-rule (as mentioned by @gorhill) 97% are shown as blocked. This means that that site still misinterpretes the redirects used in uBO. And the remaining 3% are probably false positives as well as that site doesn't reveal what exactly isn't blocked.

So I suggest that you stop presenting those bogus test results again and again. They are completely useless.

 

The so-called Compatibility Table on https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html shows following info.

 

Thanks for checking guys. After I reinstalled Vivaldi and all of my extensions, uBlock now seems to be able to block this message from showing. At first, I didn't see the message at all for days, buy yesterday I quickly seen it pop up, but it was shot down by uBlock. I didn't change any standard filter settings in uBlock, so perhaps that's the key. I also have no problems on JustWatch anymore. So some filter is now correcting blocking these annoying pop up messages.

 

If you get 90% with UBO, it seems to me that is a fair result since I get equally 90% with UBO Lite:

Without the exception rule:



Have you tried the test with UBO Lite to have a basis for comparison?
UBO Lite (Cosmetic filtering does not work + Scriptlet-filtering does not work) should not in my opinion have the same "problems" at the test as UBO.

We all know that every test has validity for what the test is worth......

Gorhill often changes his mind about what he writes.....I know this very well!!!

 

This shows that the guy running that site is either lying or doesn't know what he's talking about. Those redirects have been documented for years in the uBO wiki. And still that guy is quacking about "unknown issues" in uBO for Firefox users and suggests (as a temporary fix) exactly the filter mentioned by @gorhill - which the latter only mentioned in order to show that that site doesn't know about the redirects in uBO. It's just ridiculous. Any further word about it is a waste of time.

This is NOT a legit benchmark, it tests many non-existent domains. Just avoid.

 

Thank you for this clarification. I guess the best test is your own experiences while browsing.

 

I second that. All tests should be taken with a grain of salt. What works for one doesn't necessarily mean it will work for all.

 

Guys, I need help. Normally I can fix these kind of problems by simply enabling/disabling uBlock, Vivaldi's adblocker and the ''I still don't care about cookies'' extension, but not this time. How do I make this website show the embedded stuff from Twitter/X? I'm guessing a certain filter is blocking it, and simply enabling twitter.com via uBlock's matrix doesn't work.

Doesn't work here either, even in a clean test profile without uBO enabled and third party cookies accepted.
(Chromium dev. 117.0.5935.0)

 

The Twitter stuff embedded in the Dutch article loads for me (graph of China manufacturing PMIs) running latest Firefox v. 116.0.1 and uBlock Origin. I'm located in Brooklyn, New York USA. . Could this be a regional thing?

 

Could be.
Got it working as well via VPN but only with uBO off.
Couldn't find what setting or filter in uBO causes breakage here.

 

Try:
Twitter.com - allow

 

You mean:

Code:

* twitter.com * allow

?
That didn't work here.
Twitter isn't even present in uBO popup.:

 

Here's a snip of my dash--also no Twitter.com here. I tried looking online if there was some kind of regional "ban" on X/Twitter and couldn't find any word about it.

Spoiler: no x/twit in ubo dash

 

The Twitter embed is blocked for me too (USA), with Nitter proxy turned on or off, cookie blocking filter on or off, FF 115.1 ESR.

However, it works for me in Chromium Version 115.0.5790.171 (Official Build) (64-bit) with uBO Lite, even with annoyance and cookie filters enabled.

 

The test shows false-positives on sites that are normally "neutered" or redirected by uBO to prevent breakage. I only score 81% with FF and standard uBO filters, but the filter log shows successful redirecting of the offending websites like Double Click. The test might be valid for primitive ad blockers like ABP.

 

Guys,it takes some mental elasticity.
Each test as usual is worth what the test is.
It can give an indication.
The redirects are almost all solved by the consensus rule.
I get 97% with Firefox and the consensus rule.

 

Very exciting. I hope that you inform us as soon as the percentage changes.
