using FireFox 152.0.4 and ublock origin.

strange behavior in YouTube, in the main page or when i search for a video, the "block element" function of the adblocker no appears if I right-click in any video but yes in other website areas.

only works selecting with left click the title of the video and after right click in the video..

i dont know if is Firefox issue or the extension

this happens also with the shorts of the main page.. what is this :S

These have been getting really bad lately, sometimes popping up every time you move your mouse. I know this type of pop up is exploiting built in code that uses the "are you sure you want to leave" function that's supposed to save you if you accidentally try to close a page with a form partially filled out etc. I think they used to be called pop-unders. Even worse, most of them now have some invisible layer that breaks the site completely if you block the window. There doesn't seem to be anything in any filter lists that deal with this garbage.

This filter removes X/Twitter's age verification prompt by replacing the AgeVerificationPrompt text in XHR responses.

Add it to My filters:

x.com##+js(trusted-replace-xhr-response, /AgeVerificationPrompt/g, , url:/TweetDetail|TweetResultByRestId|UserTweets/ method:GET)

EDIT: I noticed that the filter above doesn't work in the user feed. It's been a while since I checked uBO's syntax, so I'm not sure why, but this approach might work better:

!#if !cap_html_filtering
x.com##+js(trusted-replace-xhr-response, /AgeVerificationPrompt/g, , url:/TweetDetail|TweetResultByRestId|UserTweets/ method:GET)
!#else
||x.com/*/TweetDetail$xhr,1p,replace=/AgeVerificationPrompt//g
||x.com/*/TweetResultByRestId$xhr,1p,replace=/AgeVerificationPrompt//g
||x.com/*/UserTweets$xhr,1p,replace=/AgeVerificationPrompt//g
!#endif

EDIT2: I take a look in uBO doc and I updated the scriptlet to use a regex in the first parameter, replacing AgeVerificationPrompt with /AgeVerificationPrompt/g and added method:GET. The scriptlet filter should now work without problems.

Tested on x.com. It removes the age verification prompt when viewing tweets marked as adult content.

NOTE: Since this relies on the current response structure and endpoint names, it may stop working if X changes either in the future.

Ublock origin version 1.72.0

For last 3-4 days, I noticed that reddit UI components are not doing anything.

The problem is almost any action which involves opening an window dialog/ prompt,only makes the UI blurry and darker, without any action to trigger.

Examples of options with problems, wiki editing pages, sub-reddit post/comments settings, profile options, even dark light mode toggle.

First, I disabled all extensions except ublock

Trying to use display mode button

With ublock origin enabled, the blurry and darker overlay only appears as I said early.

Without ublock origin enabled, the mode dialog appears.

This behavior is happening on the options I said before. I posted on r/bugs this situation, but without knowing ublock may be the guilty extension here. I thought reddit messed up. Still can be available that reddit messed up and ublock now brake the reddit options.

I cleared the cache and no use. Behaves the same.

I tried this but it breaks the comment section.
www.youtube.com##ytd-comments #content-text:has-text(first|early|who's watching|anyone else watching|who's here from):upward(ytd-comment-thread-renderer)

Reinstalled windows and everything and forgot to save filters.
Reddit alos running experiments again and suggested communities are so annoying to have in the middle of your page.
Anyone got filters to remove them thank you ?

As a practical matter to web browsing end-users, how much of a difference is there between using uBlock Origin Lite on Google Chrome versus the ad blocking performance of when the full uBlock Origin was used?

I'm looking for a way to completely hide videos labeled with an AI badge. I don't want them to appear in search results, sidebar recommendations, or anywhere else on the site. If I happen to click a link to one, I'd like it to display a blank page instead of the video.

example:

Hi everyone,

I wanted to report a critical brand-hijacking and security issue that is actively targeting mobile users looking for the official extension.

There is a service operating under a fake "uBl0ck" domain (ending in -dns.com) that uses the exact logo and name to capture user traffic. When confronted on GitHub, the owner openly admitted to this tactic, stating that they created it because mobile users searching for the extension end up with nothing.

Here are the structural risks:

* **Brand Exploitation:** They have zero affiliation with gorhill or the official team, yet they use the branding to build unearned trust.

* **Closed-Source Backend:** The backend infrastructure that handles all DNS-over-TLS (DoT) metadata is a complete black box.

* **Malicious Detections:** The domain has already been flagged as suspicious/malicious by multiple security vendors on VirusTotal.

* **Lack of Transparency:** When asked for architectural transparency on GitHub, the project owner immediately closed the issue and resorted to personal attacks.

Routing entire network traffic through an unverified, closed-source resolver riding on a hijacked brand name is a massive risk. I am sharing this so the community and maintainers are aware.

***

Update: I will post the exact GitHub issue link and VirusTotal screenshots in the comments below to ensure this warning doesn't get automatically filtered by spam bots.

In case you have updated to Chrome version 150 and had your uBO forcibly disabled, here is a simple step to get it back given that:

- You already have uBO installed

- You have the right flag enabled and it is working before you updated to Chrome 150

- Your browser does not have policy restricting inspect element

All you have to do, is go to the extention page, press F12, or Ctrl+Shift+I to open inspect element

Press this button, hover it over to the button until it looks like this (Edit: The button is the one with arrow pointing to the square thing)

https://preview.redd.it/i2bmoiwq5nah1.png?width=448&format=png&auto=webp&s=416426425ff37ca35db7a3aadfc55f2779f4e279

Look to the right, and see that it is highlighted on something like this:

https://preview.redd.it/s9hzacxs5nah1.png?width=479&format=png&auto=webp&s=82b0c4c5f1eb3a794eda8ececbc8d1dde3e94870

Now click the triangle thing to expand, scroll down and you should see something like this:

https://preview.redd.it/42s9c2ax5nah1.png?width=455&format=png&auto=webp&s=056423f77d2ce953793390b6b3cf3ef8c9cf52de

Find the "disabled" and double click on it, then delete it. Now the button should be clickable, click on it and activate the extention, uBO should work normally

But seriously, just get firefox at this point, this will probably be completely dead when Chrome 151 releases. This is not worth it

This is working as of version 150.0.7871.47, however I suspect there is some sort of AB testing, since out of the 3 computers I updated chrome on, only 1 got forcibly disabled, so dont be surprised if this doesn't work.

I Installed uBlockOrigin on android phone and my insurance driving rewards tracker stopped working. Everything else on the insurance app is working perfectly. It will even record my car trip and try to process, but gives up after 2 days. I've spent hours talking with the company's techs; all the settings are perfect, great phone version, etc. How to delete it to see if uBlock is causing the problem? I deleted uBlockOrigin from my laptop Chrome extensions to no avail.

hi

on Gmail there is an upgrade banner and any way to remove it? because element zapper is just a stopgap and I refresh the tab and it just come back.

Extension will be auto-updated after browser restart! (when available for your platform)

If you want to update manually:

• Do NOT use links from the release page's "Assets" section - these are not signed.
• Use your add-on store or links in release description on the GitHub releases page when they are available.
  • Firefox will have a (signed) direct install link. Other browsers will link to their uBO extension store pages.
• In some cases, installation may be blocked until browser restart. This is protection against accidental mid-session reloads, Issue #717.

How to use uBO on Chrome until version ~150.

Please report YouTube Issues on Github: uBO | uBO Lite

URL: https://www.weeronline.nl/

Appears to be a new method of this malware getting past uBo. This time, it appears to be hiding in .JS files on the site.

Tested on a default install of uBlock Origin, the page gets loaded with ads. On my usual config, I get the forced redirect.

Does not happen if you completely disable 1st party JS.
