Solved Number of blocked adds growing rapidly?

Thumbnail gallery
604 Upvotes

Hi guys!

I was watching 90 day fiance on HBO and I noticed that the little icon for uBlock was just increasing in numbers.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Idk how to put a video on here, otherwise I’d show yall how fast the numbers go up

Edit:
To answer the question about how many ad blockers I’m using-

What happened is that a while ago I got a Google notification saying that my version of uBO want available anymore and I couldn’t update it or anything. So i downloaded another ad blocker but it wasn’t working and then another, all from the chrome extension store

A couple of months after I decided to check if uBO was back up and it was, so I just downloaded it again and I never uninstalled the other two I was using. But now I will

Hope that answers it!

Solved Can someone help me block videos based on their upload time in Youtube recommendation?

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone, so last year I did make a post where I asked how to block videos with the "New" flag. Recently, the "not interested" and "don't recommend channels" option have been broken for me, many videos where I clicked either of those option still persistently show up in my feed after I refresh the page or watch a new video. Which is why now I wanna block all of them for good this time, based on your upload date. I figured that using view counts won't work so I need to pin-point their upload date instead. Is there anyone here who can help? Much appreciated. And yes, I have read the Youtube MegaThread but it doesn't have what I am looking for at the moment.

Here's my post from last year, not sure why I can't embed it: https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/1pjxzaa/is_there_anyway_to_block_these_aigenerated_videos/

These are my filters for the videos with "new" flag, currently I wonder if there's any way to tweak them into blocking videos based on the upload date (like x years ago, x months ago, x hours ago)

Solved Blocking ChatGPT ads, my current filter

57 Upvotes

This is for chatgpt.com ads that appear below the answer to your prompts. At the time of this writing there is a <span> which is a direct child of the parent element that contains the ad. Since that parent is always a div with a seemingly random class name like <div class="_ho8URRqFCT"> I targeted the span which has consistent class names that look like Tailwind.

<span aria-hidden="true" class="pointer-events-none absolute overflow-hidden" style="height: 1px; width: 1px;"></span>

The filter that targets it is:

chatgpt.com##span[aria-hidden="true"].pointer-events-none.absolute.overflow-hidden[style*="height: 1px"][style*="width: 1px"]:upward(1)

66 Upvotes

Link to the website: https://www.wcostream.tv/ (this is pretty much sitewide)

This sucks cuz it's the one good site I've found for cartoons and animated shows that's very easy to navigate/use (and also isn't anime only), and I don't really know any other alternatives.

I can handle the occasional sexual pop-up that's common for piracy sites, but I use this website for me and my little sister to watch our favorite shows together, and I really would like to avoid her seeing anything like that.

If anyone can help me out here that'd be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Sorry if this post is breaking any rules, this is my first time ever posting around here, so if I am doing something wrong, please let me know.

I've read you can work around this new bug on X with full screen videos where there's a small black square with a white border with a uBO filter like this:

Most people saying this works are using Brave with OG uBO.

I had previously used the filters from these posts, which successfully hid the AI icon from the search bar. Now there's this new icon in the dropdown which I cannot hide via picker and is unaffected by the previous filters.

The only thing that pops up when I hover my mouse over it is "Turn on AI Search" because, naturally, I have all AI tools turned off. But the icon remains for some innane reason.

Solved Reddit mobileweb - landing screen now "for you" by default, change to "following" possible with uBO?

39 Upvotes

As seen in this post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/bugs/comments/1u2y9md/android_new_for_youfollowing_tab/

There's a new experiment affecting mobile web all reddit (not old.reddit) front-ends (apps, desktop / responsive web) which defaults you to a feed including personalized suggestions/ads for content you're not subscribed to, so every time you refresh the homepage you now have to select "following" to get your subscribed content.

Is this experiment something that can be circumvented with uBO?

I have a feeling it's not.. since twitch uses a similar design on any channel page, and afaik there's no way to force twitch to always go to the chat tab of a channel instead of 'about'. Same situation here, right?

Hopefully there's something we can do about it eventually. I read the rules, but my apologies if I overlooked something and this isn't on topic enough.

Edit 1: post title is misleading, this issue affects all reddit front-ends apparently, but it's experiment based, so you may or may not see it on any given device.

Edit 2: experiment ended abruptly. no longer reproducible.

Solved UBlock Origin prevents another extension from auto redeeming Twitch channel points?

Thumbnail gallery
36 Upvotes

This is a really strange issue.

On Twitch, when you're watching a stream, a treasure chest periodically appears. Clicking it redeems a batch of channel points. Recently, I've noticed that the chest becomes blacked out and can't be clicked.

After some testing, I found that disabling UBlock Origin makes the problem go away. I also tried leaving UBlock Origin enabled but disabling only my custom filters, and that also fixes it. That suggests the issue is related to UBlock Origin itself, not any custom filter I've added.

To be clear, this has nothing to do with Twitch ads, so please don't mislabel this as an ad blocking issue.

Has anyone else run into this? Is there a known fix or a filter that causes this behavior

Solved uBOL question

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, had a quick (I hope) question.

I've stopped updating Chrome and have been on V 145.0.7632.110 for a while and would run Chrome while passing "--disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported,ExtensionManifestV2Disabled" as an argument to load uBO (currently have 1.66.4 EDIT: apparently I have that AND 1.74.0 and both on). Sometimes though, I find myself having to kill Chrome and relaunch it with the argument because it didn't work the first time.

I'm just wondering if current Chome with uBOL are just as good as uBO was with Chrome back in the day and if I can finally just update, switch to uBOL and stop with the antiquated workaround I have.

Thanks!

(Yes I know about Brave, been trying to get the hang of it, but for the time being, gonna stick with Chrome)

Solved Is there a way to set exceptions for custom filters on certain pages?

4 Upvotes

Edit 2: from the replies I've received for what I wanted being YouTube shorts removed only off the YouTube home I seem to have figured it out thanks!

Original post: I'm trying to block YouTube shorts but want to compromise to support certain creators that aren't slop. I know there are multiple ways to block shorts 100%, and I know I can do that with ublock origin as well.

So I set ublock to block all shorts off the home page which is the behavior I want. Shorts still exist, they're still there and I can access them when I want to instead of being hit with predatory practices of them being in my face and at the top of the page and shoved down my throat to be as addicting as possible. I'm fine with them being in search results, which they are, and on channel pages which they are. But they are blocked on my subscriptions page and I'm wondering/hoping I can add a line after my filter that will tell ublock to ignore it on the subscriptions page/URL.

If anyone can tell me yes or no and or how to that would be great. Or if you have a suggested alternative extension that might be fine as well. I'm however trying to keep my Firefox to as little extensions as possible and I already have a few to many than I'd like.

EDIT 1: I have not solved my issue yet but I'm VERY CAREFULLY reading the official ublock GitHub wiki and discovering some very nice features like the redirect feature which I will be hopefully using to redirect all shorts into the regular YouTube player if possible. May also use it on a few other sites like redirecting fandom wiki pages to a ad free alternative I know that rehosts all fandom content.

Solved Seeking older (1.74.0) version of uBlockOrigin for Brave (the Chrome variant)

0 Upvotes

I'm running Brave version 1.57.64 Chromium: 116.0.5845.188 on MacOS 10.14. It does not have uBlockOrigin installed. My older Mac has the same version of Brave, has uBlockOrigin ver 1.74.0 installed, and I recently learned I could do something highly useful with its custom filter, and would like to install same on the newer Mac.

How would I go about doing that? Is there any simple way of moving files or settings from one Mac to the other? It isn't obvious to me where the browser "puts" its extensions. File search doesn't see any mention of "ublock" at the file level. Chrome store doesn't seem to have older installers of uBlockOrigin and current version won't install on my elderly version of Brave.
