µBlock, a lean and fast blocker

I didn't add it yet but probably will in near future.

 

Thanks for your opinion.

 

yes - its a small list and should not have impact. but - addings lists will makes uBlock perform different.
i dont visit sites which could perform mining. you can add those hosts to the hosts file of your system which prevents access in any program (recommended)

 

Try the one below:

"has been blocked"
using "19.456 out of 38.342"

if i click on "temporary" then my hosts file is blocking. has been added recently

 

Is it technically possible to block certain objects with the Element Blocker? This one (IT Innovation Day banner) keeps popping up:

If you're talking about the one that drops down near the top of the page then yeah, the following works for me:

Code:

webwereld.nl###idg-cookie-bar

 

activate Fanboy’s Annoyance List

 

or Adguard’s Annoyance List, both lists have a filter for it

 

which one to recommend? IMO i read about some adguard offers to uBlock for using lists.

 

It appears uBlock is not loading fast enough on browser launch, so javascript is not blocked. I have Firefox set to restore recent tabs, scripts pass through on first load, then are blocked as normal if I refresh the page.

I think I remember a similar issue with Chrome years ago, and was the main reason I switched over to Firefox.

Any ideas? Known issue?

 

Hello @luxi,

Checkout the Advanced settings on the Wiki.
Look for the setting "suspendTabsUntilReady" and follow those instructions to see if that helps...

 

Thanks. Just tried that setting. According to the Wiki the tab should reload when uBlock is ready, but oddly I'm stuck with a blank page. (I should mention I'm running Nightly 58.)

 

Hello @luxi,

Sorry that is not working for you. As it states on the Wiki, that is an "experimental" setting and not 100% guaranteed to work. Being that "This is a by-design browser issue", there is probably not much else to do as the browser does not wait for all of the extensions to fully load before opening pages. My browser is almost always open so I circumvent this issue by setting "about:blank" as the "On startup" page.

 

Yeah, some Adguard-lists have been added to the stock filter list: Adguard Spyware, Adguard Generic Filters, Adguard's Annoyance List.
Fanboy's Annoyance list offers more filters (~27.000) than Adguard's Annoyance List (~9.000) and it blocks more (annoying) social media stuff, but it also blocks rss-icons.

Similar issue (Firefox Nightly):

 

Thank you @mood, that's exactly it. At least I know what's going on now.

Thanks, that did the trick.

 

Hello,

FYI: For those that may wish to use the development build of uBlock Origin on Chrome based browsers or are already doing so by manually installing and updating the extension...
An uBlock Origin development build is now available in the Chrome Web Store.
Announcement on GitHub: Add uBlock Origin development version to Chrome Webstore

Chrome Web Store: uBlock Origin dev build

 

How do I block the ads in facebook? It was working before, cause someone shared this code to use if it's the one i'm thinking of...

Code:

facebook.com##.ego_section:has(a.adsCategoryTitleLink)

they are directly below Trending

 

This did the trick for me:

Code:

www.facebook.com###pagelet_ego_pane

 

It works! Thanks

 

Does anyone know if this is of any value anymore or should I delete it?
