µBlock, a lean and fast blocker

yeah. 35% is too low to keep it enabled.

 

Yes.

 

@nicolaasjan

If there is a bug, it is only fair that it be fixed.

No, that is a fix for:

in LegitimateURLShortener.

 

Thanks @nicolaasjan

 

In the meanwhile, can you test with this rule:

Code:

mail.google.com##+js(ra, data-saferedirecturl, a[data-saferedirecturl], stay)

cc @Krusty
[Edit]
Not relevant any more after update ClearURLs uBo list. See below

 

The issue with Gmail is now fixed.
The maintainer has deleted the rule (in ClearURLs for uBo list):

Code:

$removeparam=source,domain=google.*

 

Great stuff, seems to be working now.

 

Does that also mean the YouTube redirect page won't show again too?

Guys, does anyone know how to block this on some YouTube channels?:



I can use the Element Picker but that seems to only work on a per channel basis.

Thanks.

 

if you can just post the filter that's created with the e.p., maybe we can help you modify it to create a generic filter.

 

Ah ha! I played around with Element Picker and this seems to do the trick:

Code:

www.youtube.com###contentWrapper > .ytd-popup-container.style-scope

 

glad that you got it sorted out, dave.

 

Thanks buddy!

 

Don't know.
I didn't encounter that.
On what page and link could I check that?

 

Here's an addendum to that post of mine. I mentioned therein that I create global block rules for trackers/adservers to make life a bit easier. Remember again that creating those block rules does nor improve blocking in uBO per se as those domains are blocked by the filterlists anyhow (although uBO might be a bit more performant as processing Dynamic Filtering rules is faster than processing filterlists). However, creating such rules facilitates managing Dynamic Filtering in medium/hard mode:

• If a site doesn't work as expected and you have to create noop rules for specific 3rd-party sites you can simply disregard those sites with global block rules. In other words: The number of sites which qualify for noop rules often becomes significantly smaller which makes it easier to determine which ones to noop.
• If you prefer to not create noop rules for specific 3rd-party sites but rather noop the local 3rd-party scripts (and frames) cell, this change does not apply to those domains with global block rules as these domain-specific rules take precedence. Hence those adservers/trackers will still be hard-blocked.

So in order to make my and your life a bit more comfortable I created a list with 7,900 global block rules which is comprised of 2 well-known filterlists:

• The list compiled by Peter Lowe : https://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/serverlist.php?hostformat=hosts&showintro=1&mimetype=plaintext
• Kees1958 EU_US+most_used_ad_and_tracking_networks: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kees1958/W3C_annual_most_used_survey_blocklist/master/EU_US+most_used_ad_and_tracking_networks

If you want to use that attached list you have to import it in the "My rules" tab in the Dashboard, click the commit and the save button.

 

Thank you @summerheat for sharing your blocklist. I've been using that Kees1958 list for over a month now

Also, do you use any lists under Privacy or Malware domains groups?

 

If I add to the "AdGuard Tracking Protection" list, also "AdGuard CNAME disguised trackers list" I get more rules used + 4525.
You need to clear all caches.

 

Are there any improvements and/or changes that should be done to my setup?

EDIT: Had to remove Kees list as it was blocking videos on some websites for me.

 

I've only seen it once so far, but if I see it again I'll post the link.

Thanks.

 

You're welcome!

Sure - I use all available lists in those groups. Again, my list is not intended to replace those large filterlists. It's only a list of the most common adservers/trackers in order to make managing Dynamic Filtering a bit easier.

 

If your post was meant as a reply to mine: sure - you can use the filters from as many lists as you want. But remember that the rules in Dynamic Filtering are created solely by yourself - there won't be any automatic updates contrary to the filterlists. That's why it makes no sense to throw in umpteen thousand rules from every filterlist available that might be obsolete in a couple of months. That's the reason why my list contains only the most important adservers/trackers that will probably still exist in the foreseeable future. As mentioned the only purpose of that list is to make Dynamic Filtering a bit easier / more comfortable.

 

@summerheat you don't find using your blocking rules list on top of your other rules a bit unwieldy?

And if you don't others might ...
