µBlock, a lean and fast blocker

my vote for the poll: nay

 

At least I am not alone with the @stapp looks like I am in good company.

@imdb Thanks man. Not sure I want to mess with my HOSTS file but I may try it on a test PC just to check it out.

 

you're welcome, t.

 

Good timing. Same thing here, no joy. I clear cache and all that on a daily basis so that is not the problem either. Maybe I need to use a new default browser.

 

Did you clear your dns cache after you added it? Just a thought, though it probably wouldn't have mattered.

 

this working here for uBo

Code:

google.com##[src^="https://ogs.google.com/widget/callout"]

uBo told me that blocked as DOM

for those with stylus or similar

Code:

iframe[src^="https://ogs.google.com/widget/callout"]
{display: none}

 

what browser did you test it on? edge?

 

@stapp @Trooper
so, i guess this proves that it has something to do with edge's tp settings. i'll look further into it this weekend.

 

sure, edge, what else should i try? with chromium i dont get such message, nor firefox.

seriously?

 

so, this screenshot you posted proves that you need a cosmetic filter to block this popup in edge. cause it looks like nw filter is preceded by edge's built-in tp settings. case closed.

 

@Brummelchen and @imdb I wish I knew what either of you were talking about lol.

 

and where is the problem now? a lot of popups or similar elements are cosmetic filters, thats why ublock show in overview x network filters and y cosmetic filters in use. and this is ofc a cosmetic filter. a network filter looks different. and this thread is about ublock, where else should have i installed that filter?

the filter as Trooper showed us in #6409 is working also here in "my filters", and do not re-appear when clicking the "eye"

the minimal entry could be:
||ogs.google.com

or in "my rules"
* ogs.google.com * block

these ways are working here like charm. if not on your side, maybe you need to adjust other edge settings.

 

it's all good, brumm. there is no problem. that was my initial thought on this issue of t's, that a cosmetic filter was required to block that popup.
i don't get that popup in any of my browsers, i never did.

 

So if I had the rule to my filterlist that you posted @Brummelchen then I should be good to go?

 

@stapp @Trooper
ok, i just tested all this stuff on edge in a vm. here's the deal:
there are five ways to block that popup.
1. add "||ogs.google.com/widget/callout$subdocument" to my filters in ubo.
or
2. run command prompt as admin and execute the following cmd: "echo 0.0.0.0 ogs.google.com >> %WINDIR%\System32\Drivers\Etc\Hosts"
or
3. create a block rule for edge in your fw for "ogs.google.com"
or
4. create a block rule for "ogs.google.com" in your router's fw.
or
5. create a block rule for "ogs.google.com" in your system wide (ad) blocker.
they all work. if they don't work for you, then there's something wrong with your config, something in your edge profile that's interfering with that nw filter or hosts file entry.

 

Trying the first one now @imdb Will keep you posted.

 

i am sorry for difficulties.

for the HOSTS file - important to know for those, who use google services

OGS means "One Google Signin", it might also block the choice top right for google services

 

Hi @Trooper

have you tried the following filter:

Code:

! Block switch to Chrome popop on google domains (search, maps, etc)
||ogs.google.*/widget/callout$all

just copy and paste it into My filters.

Edit

it looks like you tried something similar to it, just not quite the same.

Edit 2

I tested the one posted at #6404

Code:

||ogs.google.com/widget/callout$subdocument

and it worked fine for me in latest Edge 99.0.1150.52 (Official build) (64-bit)

 

You're welcome @stapp. That's good to know. Hopefully it works for @Trooper as well.

 

None of the filters work at all. I tried all of them. I even deleted my edge profile and started from scratch and still got the pop-up. The only thing that did work was adding ogs.google.com to my NextDNS blocklist and that worked! Not sure how I will handle at work but eh. Thanks @imdb !

 

Where is this pop-up?

 

it's ok, brumm. all good.
