µBlock, a lean and fast blocker

@Gandalf_The_Grey Getting rid of AdGuard Annoyances filter did the trick, thanks! I guess it was nice not seeing all of this cookie nonsense but when it effects websites it is a pita.

@plat1098 I will try your setup and report back. Thanks!

EDIT: Setup mine up the same as yours and so far so good. Thanks!!

 

Yeah, I gave up on those annoyances filters, they break too much.
Great to see that it is solved!

 

I am finally seeing this now. I have been dealing with it for far too long. Thanks again for your help!

 

You're welcome, take care!

It is like @Sampei Nihira said:

As an example, when using EasyList I had a broken layout on https://www.notebookcheck.net/.
Adding the AdGuard base filters solved that.
But then I was using too many filters to solve a problem on 1 website, so I replaced both with AdGuard Base filter + EasyList (Optimized) made by AdGuard and found on filterlists.com.

 

You too. I agree with you both, I just never took the time to dig into it. Thanks again.

 

no problem here with both lists (easylist+adguard base). must be special, need image.

 

do you have the annoyance list as indicated above?

 

i think so - my used lists

uBlock filters
uBlock filters – Badware risks
uBlock filters – Privacy
uBlock filters – Resource abuse
uBlock filters – Unbreak

AdGuard Base
EasyList

AdGuard Tracking Protection
EasyPrivacy

Online Malicious URL Blocklist

Anti-Facebook
Fanboy’s Annoyance
Fanboy’s Social

Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list

DEU: EasyList Germany

Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool
AdGuard DNS filter
AdGuard Russian filter
Fanboy's Enhanced Tracking List
NoCoin Filter List

I was probably not clear enough, there is no problem with both lists together, just a lot of filter rules, that's why I use the optimized version.
EasyList 60.300, AdGuard Base 60.911, the combined optimized list has 51.464 filter rules and works great for me.

 

For me as well

 

Well, a better way is actually to use the logger if only one or two sites are affected. There you can filter for blocked elements - this way you can usually find the culprit very easily. If you click the respective cell you can create an exception filter or an exception Dynamic URL filtering rule.

 

Exactly.
I use just such an exception rule created in this way for MSFN forum,failing that, I can't enter my posts.

 

just the way i use ubo.
as @gorhill says, the logger is your best friend.

 

ubo annoyances is a complementary to fanboy's annoyance / adguard annoyances and meant to be used along with [either one (or both) of] them. (@gorhill says so).

 

I could not find that on filterlist.com Would you mind sending a link?

But I did find this so not sure if it is worth using the Optimized list on Windows? https://forum.adguard.com/index.php...sed-filterlists-in-adguard-for-windows.41041/

 

Go to filterlist.com and use optimized in the search box.
It is called "AdGuard Base Filter (Optimized)" and in the description you will see "AdGuard Base filter + EasyList (Optimized)".
This is the link: https://filters.adtidy.org/extension/ublock/filters/2_optimized.txt
It's a bit confusing because in uBlock Origin there is a special version of the AdGuard Base filter made for Gorhill that compliments EasyList, but the "normal" AdGuard Base filter is a combination of EasyList and their own AdGuard filters.

 

Thank you I appreciate it. I will give it a go for awhile and if it works ok will keep it. I just added this and got rid of AdGuard Base and EasyList filters.

 

@Sampei Nihira @Brummelchen
is nocoin filter list dead? hasn't been updated for a month and a half.

 

Coin miners are a thing of the past. AVs should protect against these.

 

actually i don't use that list myself, i was just checking some filters in ag and i saw it there.

 

Sometimes I wonder about the uBlock Origin default filter list: uBlock filters--Resource Abuse--for the same reason. For now, I leave all five uBlock lists active.

 

Those who use UBO should, in choosing lists, decide what their primary objective is.
In my case blocking trackers.
In MS Edge I use the "strict" setting.
At least in Italian it reads:

"block most trackers of all sites".

most means, not all.

I also suspect (in the absence of a reliable test) that this functionality of MS Edge is inferior to that of Firefox.
As I have already verified that the "always HTTPS" functionality is lacking compared to the same functionality in Firefox.

So the choice of my lists has this primary objective.

 

coin miners newer times are malicious scripts in browsers. Antivirus mostly wont detect it, by design.

seems no matter, it uses 1028 of 1030. further the issue list is damn small (3)

fyi, fb's annoyance already contains fb's social.

 

Yes, but I'm also seeing it on other sites like at5.nl, if I remove certain menu's, it's blocked from loading, but when you save those sites, you will still see those menu's when loading the HTML file from disk. I remove those menu's with the element picker.

On imdb.com I use: ##.recently-viewed-items.ipc-page-section--none.ipc-page-section
On at5.nl I use: ##.news-nav-bar.nav-bar

On imdb.com you should surf a bit from movie to movie, then you will see the ''recently viewed'' list on the bottom of the page. And on at5.nl, I'm talking about the menu on top of the page. On imdb.com, click on the link and then surf to some other movies, for example via the ''more like this'' option.
