µBlock, a lean and fast blocker

Yes but the filters never auto-updated, so I still don't see how it broke the media uploading feature to be honest. If the filters were updated, then I would understand it.

I had the same problem. But I just saw that Gorhill did a pretty good job of explaining the basics in a simple way.

I'm not following you, the video should be playable on the page, it's not just a pic. But it might be a Firefox related problem, because it does work with Vivaldi with uBlock enabled.

 

I don't know why i couldn't see it in my previous attempt but now i can see the twitter video
I was able to see the video in Chrome and also in Firefox.

 

Hopefully somebody else can better explain...

... because I am out of idea on how I could make this explanation more clear. The filters did not change, Facebook site changed.

 

By the way, as a general advice for whomever want to learn about dynamic filtering, it's best to refrain from default-deny mode to start with, best is to block little by little instead. This guide is an example of this -- if you dismiss that the pictures in the page show that 3rd-party frames are being blocked, something you should not do it you just want to familiarize with dynamic filtering. By default nothing is blocked, so one can just slowly start creating block rules for undesirable domains at first.

 

The only other extension is LastPass. Who knows what M$ is doing in the background?!

I guess I'm really not an advanced user.

Thanks all. I'll study up on my Greek and see how I go.

 

I'll try it

If you don't update your filter-lists, broken functionality of websites can be expected.
If you see ads on a website, a specific filter is created for this. But if the website has changed, the filter must be changed too...
If not, it can happen that ads are not filtered anymore or even other content (which you want to see on the website) is now filtered out.

The website has changed, the filter is the same = no ads / broken functionality.

 

I use both uBlock and uMatrix. Since version 1.00 of uMatrix the host files are always shown with the clock symbol, so one would think they are updated. But hovering over the clock symbol shows last update many days ago, so I need to manually update. This does not occur with uBlock.
Please can someone explain what "The assets management code has been refactored by importing code from uBlock Origin." means, and whether it has anything to do with my uMatrix problem?

 

I had noticed that, too.

 

The default update delay for uMatrix is 13 days. I do not want uMatrix to cause remote servers hosting the lists to be abused, and in doing so causing those servers to become unavailable.

At some point we have to stick to common sense. I can't prevent people feeling pointlessly anxious about minor details -- just keep in mind that uMatrix properly used in its default mode (block-all/allow-exceptionally) will already block network requests for active content from all 3rd-party sites, no block lists at all needed.

The block lists are merely useful to block images/css resources from the sites listed in the block lists, and the most common ones will always be covered from one update to the next whether the update delay is 2 days or 13 days, being anxious after just a few days is not warranted.

If the argument is that you randomly surf to questionable sites, then you should disable script everywhere by default and stricter global blocking rules, no block list is guaranteed to protect you in such case, regardless of the update delay: there is no way the domain name/IP address of all nasty servers in the world existing at any moment are all listed in the block lists.

Keep in mind it has happened in the past that one of the server was taken offline because of network traffic abuse because of uBO, 12-01-2015:

 

Thanks gorhill, I understand.

 

I understand, but what caused my confusion is that it looked like certain first party scripts were blocked on Facebook, but the filters were still the same. So apparently because of something changed on Facebook, the filters started to malfunction.

OK thanks for the info, that would indeed explain it.

 

Can anyone help me with this " disable adblock message" in this page http://www.sport-fm.gr/article/podosfairo/patise-sto-sedoni-kai-glistrise-i-giounaited/3353574 that prevents me from watching the video.
Thanks in advance.

 

Add ...

Code:

||adtechus.com^$image,redirect=3x2-transparent.png,domain=sport-fm.gr

... to My filters. I added it to uBlock filters, so alternatively forcing an update of this list should fix the problem.

 

Is possible a general filter?

Instead of one specific for each article.

 

Thanks again you are a life saver!

 

Is there a way to block twitch user cover in all streams without messing the bar up?

Making it look like this: http://i.imgur.com/Sv4vEU3.png and not like this: http://i.imgur.com/qrEB40g.png

I'm talking about this cover: http://i.imgur.com/I0qeOTi.png

 

Can some please help me in defeating this adblock warning?...I've tried and tried and cannot defeat for the life of me.

I used the element picker, and then poof, gone.

 

Tried that and it reappears on a refresh or browsing the site.

 

I refreshed thrice and it worked fine, but now the warning reappeared.

That is always what I noticed with element picker, anyway. So, I kinda expected it. It doesn't stick. I'm not sure what the rationale is for this.

 

Maybe this help:

Code:

Thanks, I had tried that and the same problem, it reappears on refresh, I just can't see anything that relates to it via the logger.

 

its caused by script which is in the line above you need to block the script, but at first this helps out:

Code:

www.bournemouthecho.co.uk###bbpvos

Code:

www.bournemouthecho.co.uk##script:contains(issmallbanner)
www.bournemouthecho.co.uk##script:contains(sp.blocking)
www.bournemouthecho.co.uk##script:contains(adblockwarning)
www.bournemouthecho.co.uk##script:contains(beacon)
www.bournemouthecho.co.uk##script:contains(bbpvos)

but is only valid for firefox, chromium based cant do this.

no further clou if :inject might help

 

That worked!...Many thanks

 

I am wondering if there is any risk associated with updating my third party subscriptions over an untrusted network, when I have the following http only subscriptions:

• Dan Pollock’s hosts file
• MVPS HOSTS

Should I only update on a trusted network? Is purging my cache and re-updateing enough?
