µBlock, a lean and fast blocker

Yes, I was a bit confused, thanks for the help.

This trick only helps when you search from the addressbar, and not when you directly search from google.com, because that's what I often do to get access to auto-suggestions, which is turned of in Vivaldi, perhaps I will now turn it on. But the most important thing is that it will also work with the ''Search Google for'' context menu entry, this is what I use the most.

 

google show same results for firefox when google is default search engine.

but user can add their own settings.
- open about:config
- add switch "browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh" and set it to "true".
- go back to search settings, then user is able to add its own engine with the given parameters like "&udm=14"
- select new engine as default

or install some search extension to customize any.

 

Ah, OK, thanks. But Google is not my default search engine in Firefox. I don't know if that can expain the different resuls that Rasheed and I had with the filter rule www.google.com##div.ULSxyf

 

google.com##.ULSxyf
is right, it's listed here 4 times, 3 with images and one with videos.
but if you enter that tab "Products" it remains empty due this.
so you need to refine the filter with the Inspector tool from browser, and you will get

#res.FcOujd .ULSxyf

some else elements
.LnCrMe <-- picture to the very right
#AkU20.A6K0A <-- other questions in the middle of page

btw i switched to DDG months ago when google change to AI.

 

Thank you, Brummelchen.
I see you removed the "div" part.
And as I said, I thought Rasheed wouldn't mind if the Google "Product" tab was empty.

Thank you, Brummelchen.
I hope this is helpful to Rasheed, or anyone else who wants to do the same.

 

you are welcome.

concerning div.
div means, its a not a span, a, img whatever.
elements can share same class or id, but usual they do not.

 

uBlock Origin 1.62.0 is now available for Firefox, no longer pending.

(Firefox/ Extensions/ Manage extensions/ Tools for all add-ons (cogwheel)/ Check for Updates/ uBlock Origin 1.62.0 is offered)

Lately,I have been concentrating on checking trackers blocked in Firefox with the Privacy Badger extension using the browser's web development tools.

Firefox's web development tool has the ability to show blocked trackers by highlighting the extension that blocked the tracker.
In contrast, Edge's developer tool does not have this selectivity.


I have noticed that some trackers blocked by Privacy Badger are not blocked by ublock Origin filter lists or my DNS level filter lists.

An example in the image below of a trackers blocked by Privacy Badger (you can see this by using this extension):

I was wondering if other forum members can also perform this check?
If there are filter lists that have the ability to block trackers that slip through?

And if it is appropriate to add some custom rules.

 

thats firefox advantage
badger is one replacement for umatrix here beside a pure domain blocker. currently this combination and adguard is running very smooth on any browser here. badger has other targets than ublock.
for times adguard has 16 blocks, and badger 9.
for edge you only can see red lines were are blocked, but no hint blocked from were, only "statustext" can show you a hint. eg "blocked: other"

 

@Sampei Nihira , I use uBO with this Anti-paywall filter list that blocks that...

 

Have you verified that it blocks that Google-js?

 

If you look at the PB counter in the website below,it seems to block 6 trackers:

https://ibb.co/pdrZ9d6

But on closer inspection with Firefox web development tools only 1 tracker is blocked by PB.
If I disable PB,that one tracker is blocked by the filter lists I signed up for at the DNS level:

https://ibb.co/tm4VJG8

In this web site,so the usefulness of PB is equal to 0.
But as I showed in the previous example this is not always the case.

 

Yes.

P.S.

Yes I added the custom 3p rule and the script now gets blocked by uBlock Origin.
So I'm wondering if I need to do a more thorough check of the trackers possibly blocked only by PB (which I will only use as a control) on the websites I usually visit.

https://ibb.co/9srW2ZV

 

I've found this and other list to bypass paywalls at Yokoffing's Recommended Filters for uBlock Origin, and they help.

 

But have you tested whether it has general validity?
For example, does it block this as well?

https://ibb.co/pdrZ9d6

 

give it a link please, your images are hard to read.
but for the record - no content like that here.

 

hi
is there a way to block videos ?
for example newspapers video , they start automactly

 

Look at the settings in your browser.

 

On `edenviaggi.it`, `p.typekit.net/p.css` is redirected here by uBO with this rule:
(uBlock filters – Privacy)

Code:

||p.typekit.net/p.css^$stylesheet,redirect-rule=noop.css

 

Yes,I use DNS blocking,and I did not enable that filter list in uBlock Origin.

____________________________________________________________________

However,thanks to PB,I checked all the websites I frequent.

I only had to delete one rule from NextDNS whitelist and add only 2+1 rules to uBlock Origin (+ AdGuard AdBlocker).

I can confidently say that I have no need for PB.
And I have increased the performance of block trackers.

 

Why is this Google script not blocked by default by uBO?

Haha, read this:
https://confection.io/tags/news-google-com-swg-js-v1-swg-js/

 

It's simple, because I disabled the uBlock filters - Privacy list.
I use almost no privacy filter list in Ublock Origin only DNS privacy filtering.

 

`*swg.js` is not in that list however (nor in EasyPrivacy or AdGuard Tracking Protection).

 

OK, I added :

Code:

||news.google.com/swg/js/v1/swg.js$script,3p

to 'My Filters'.
Hope it won't break anything.
