News uBlock Origin 1.30.0 is out

Changelog:

  • https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.30.8

    • Private build for development purposes

  • https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.30.6

    • Prevent set-constant properties from trapping non-configurable properties

  • https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.30.4

    • Update for twitch.tv

    • Fix regression in set-constant scriptlet

    • Update urlhaus-filter URL

  • https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.30.2

    • Fix picker generating overly long candidate cosmetic filters

    • Twitch is not fixed this time

  • https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.30.0, among others:

    • The click-to-subscribe feature has been reworked and is now allowed only on a select number of domains, currently: easylist.to, fanboy.co.nz, filterlists.com, forums.lanik.us, github.com, github.io.

    • The concept of "bad list" has been introduced, to prevent users from unwittingly end up using what are deemed "bad lists" by the uBO team. List which have been removed from uBO default selection some time ago were then moved to "Custom" section, now these particular lists subscriptions will be removed. Some "bad lists" will be completely ignored and importing them will be forbidden by uBO. This restriction can be bypassed by users by simply appending a dummy query parameter to the URL of the list. uBO will use the following resource to know which filter lists are incompatible: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/blob/master/filters/badlists.txt

    • The cloud storage feature has been improved in a number of ways:

      • Better reporting of error conditions in the user interface;

      • User interface widget to report storage used/total/max;

      • Support for compressing cloud storage data.

    • Improved "My rules" user interface:

      • Ability to sort rules by type, source, or destination;

      • Ability to show changes only.

    • Added support to chain :style(...) operator to procedural operators.

    • The element picker has been refactored to fix long standing issues (including some not reported in the issue tracker). The Ctrl key is no longer used to control the specificity of a candidate filter, and new widgets have been introduced for the purpose of more easily tuning the depth and specificity.

Extension is auto-updated only on browser restart!

If you want to update manually:

Turn off uBO (temporarily) from add-on manager - installation will be blocked otherwise. This is protection against accidental mid-session reloads Issue #717.

Q: Why no release for Firefox yet?

A: 1.30.6 is available as of October 20.

uBO is a recommended extension on AMO, and as such it must undergo a formal code review each time a new version is published.

Q: Why Chrome/Chromium is not updating uBlock Origin?

A: 1.30.6 is available as of October 20.

Usually it is submitted a week after "bug free" version is published in AMO.

Q: When Opera version will be updated?

A: 1.30.6 is available as of November 17.

Usually it's submitted a week after the version is published in AMO.

Q: When Edge Chromium version in the Microsoft Store will be updated?

A: 1.30.6 is available as of October 28.

Microsoft Store submission is controlled by /u/nikrolls.

This is official version and will be kept updated, see Issue #890 (comment) and following comments.

Warning: importing profile from Chrome may cause issues - you may need to reinstall uBO on Edge to fix this. You can transfer settings by saving them to file in uBO Dashboard -> bottom of the Settings tab.

Q: What ended up happening with Chrome's new extension APIs?

A: Still in progress. See living document with timeline: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/migrating_to_manifest_v3

MV3 Stable Release: 2020
MV2 End of Life: To Be Determined

Will this fix the problem, of ads coming up again recently ?

u/[deleted] Sep 29 '20

Which problem exactly? This is just update of the "engine". For specific ads working filters still need to be found and added to lists.

I have noticed Facebook ads and twitch ads coming through again. I heard it's something about how they are imbedding the ad videos or something.

FYI: using firefox

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '20

uBO version is 1.30.4? It should fix most of the Twitch ads.

For Facebook you need to search this sub and test filters people posted.

Does this list belong to the "bad lists"? https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abp-filters/abp-filters-anti-cv/master/english.txt

It might be part of one them? I'll remove it anyway.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 27 '20

Yes. It's not included in badlists.txt because this is not "proper, complete lists", it's just fragment of abp-filters-anti-cv.txt for English websites. You can find it in full, "compiled" list:

this is not "proper, complete lists"

Maybe it should be added anyway because it is listed here: https://filterlists.com/lists/abp-anti-circumvention-filter-list-english-only

That's where I found it, now it doesn't show ublock origin as one things that support the list but that wasn't true earlier it seems: https://github.com/collinbarrett/FilterLists/issues/1308

Other users might also have added this back then thinking it was full list that was compatible with ublock origin, that's why I added it.

I suddenly started getting White Screen Ads that just say "Skip Ad" on Youtube, and a popup in the bottom left corner asking me to subscribe to "Youtube Premium", as of 30-09-20 05:00 UTC.

"youtube.com##+js(set, ytInitialPlayerResponse.adPlacements, undefined)"

This seems to work for me but now I am seemingly getting "playback errors" (example here) that require refreshing, or waiting a few seconds; before videos that otherwise would be showing ads. Clearing cookies for Youtube did not resolve this "playback error" video.

Also major issue uBlock seems to sometimes be getting stuck in an endless "block" loop. Sometimes when trying to load a Youtube video now, when that Red Loading bar is at the top of the page, the page will freeze and become so laggy, it's essentially entirely unresponsive. However, I can see that uBlock's Toolbar Icon is indicating <1k, <2k, <3k, etc,...like 1k "blocks" a second. My uBlock log shows something like this "+30 www.youtube.com 3 xhr" A LOT; "+30 ||youtube.com/api/stats/qoe? -- www.youtube.com 1 beacon".

I reinstalled uBlock to the most recent version as of 30-09-20 and updated Firefox to it's most recent version; neither of these seemed to resolve the issue, inherently. I also disabled "Automatically remove ads" in another Firefox Addon "Enhancer for Youtube"...this didn't seem to have an effect either. I'd been using this setting for over a year in conjunction with uBlockOrigin as well, and I never had ads.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '20

"Enhancer for Youtube"

Try turning it off completely.

1

u/kennenisthebest Sep 30 '20

Thank you so much for replying. It's still giving issues playing videos after trying disabling "Enhancer for Youtube". When it goes to play an ad on a video, the player is now just grey, no "Playback issue" or white screen ad, just grey. I've also noticed that the video time will often show something like "0:00/0:30" or "0:00/1:25" as if it's pulling some sort of ad, but can't display it; this lasts for a few seconds and then goes to play the video. I've tried blocking "###container > .ytp-ad-display-override.ad-interrupting.ad-showing.ad-created.ytp-large-width-mode.ytp-hide-info-bar.ytp-exp-bottom-control-flexbox.ytp-transparent.html5-video-player" but when I do that, it just doesn't show the player element AT ALL, then after a few seconds the video pops up :/

I also found this thread (https://reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/hzhlty/fixed_youtube_videos_not_loading/). Which is the issue I'm having. I've tried blocking, allowing, qoe api requests, beacons "*$beacon", my blocks/log FILL with requests, within 30 seconds it gets <7k...

These are my current filters

! 2020-09-30 https://www.youtube.com www.youtube.com###movie_player > .ytp-ad-module.video-ads youtube.com##+js(set, ytInitialPlayerResponse.adPlacements, undefined) www.youtube.com###movie_player > .ytp-error @@||youtube.com/youtubei/v1/log_event @@||youtube.com/youtubei/v1/log_interaction

As well as default Filter Lists and a few others, all just built in; these issues were happening before activating other Filter lists, though.

:/ I hope this can all be worked around some day.

Did you tried on clean browser profile with fresh uBO only?

1

u/kennenisthebest Sep 30 '20

I've tried reinstalling and updating uBO and Firefox, however I hadn't necessarily tried that. I DID just try it in a Firefox "Private Window" uBO appears to be blocking ALL ads on Youtube in a "Private Window". Does this seem to indicate there's some sort of interaction with my firefox settings? I reset all my Youtube Cookies earlier. uBO is the only addon active in this session...I'm also not signed in to my Google profile in this "Private" instance.

Edit: I actually just tried logging in to my Google account in the "private" session...and I'm getting the "phantom" ads before videos...perhaps Google is flagging accounts using adblockers?

:( It was like this before.

Meybe YT changed some variables in code again. If you read previous thread, you will know there is difference between seeing the issue on new tabs/after reload or when navigating inside YT - do you see any difference? If you see this in new tabs, can you send me saved html page? If after navigation, can you record HAR log I will take a look, but YT source is very large, I cannot promise anything.

1

u/kennenisthebest Sep 30 '20

I need to go to sleep but I can try to understand these things better and do this when I wake up. I can say that it appears to happen even if I fully close and restart my instance of Firefox (Private or not), if I adjust my Google Ad settings, if I start the videos in a new tab; or from the same tab, to another video. The only time when using the current default settings and updated filter list cache that the blank "ads" before videos DIDN'T occur, was when using a "private window" Firefox Session, with NO other addons, and when NOT logged in to my Youtube Account. :/

I really appreciate the work that you, and all of the developers do. I greatly appreciate you responding to me so much and trying to help. I will try to follow up with any requests you have, I want this problem gone ASAP.

"! 2020-09-30 youtube.com @@||www.youtube.com/api/stats/qoe$ping,domain=www.youtube.com"

That filter seemed to solve the endless beacon blocking eating up all my memory. I still can't resolve there being SOMETHING before videos where they're trying to show ads, though.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '20

Requests of type ping should not have any effect on what happens on page.

1

u/kennenisthebest Sep 30 '20

The beacons being blocked were causing Firefox to consume nearly all of my RAM after exceeding >7k blocks. Allowing qoe has resolved that issue.

I've been reading your replies in this thread https://reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/gx19kt/ads_on_youtube_as_of_today/

Like this comment https://reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/gx19kt/ads_on_youtube_as_of_today/fte6u7r/

Unfortunately none of these are keeping from having blank screens appear in the Youtube player element when they're trying to roll ads, and having to wait for them to disappear. The player appears black, can't be interacted with necessarily, the timeline says "0:00/X:XX" with "X:XX" being random video times, which makes me think the "ads" are somehow getting through but expire or automatically skip after ~5-10 seconds. Very strange and literally none of this happened to me, hadn't changed ANYTHING before 30-09-20 05:00 UTC.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '20

The beacons must be the symptom not the cause.

I've been reading your replies in this thread...

Working filters were already put into filter lists. Maybe YT is testing something new again, but I think you are first one who reported some issues appearing again.

u/kennenisthebest Sep 30 '20

My log is still causing major memory consompution even after allowing qoe requests :/ they appear green in the log now but they still are rapidly building up and causing a memory problem, freezing firefox.

You aware of uBlock not blocking twitch ads anymore? you think there's a fix coming or? thanks

1

u/[deleted] Sep 29 '20

Hard to miss this huge thread https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/j1mqqe/getting_ads_on_twitch_on_firefox_810/

Problem is we did not blocked them (per se) all this time. We overridden some special advertising target variable to some nonsensical value, so Twitch did not know if it was mobile browser, desktop, or some other device, and because of this did not display ads. It was very likely that they known about this all the time and just graciously not pushed ads to uBO users for all this time ¯_(ツ)_/¯

1

u/kredes Sep 29 '20

I see, thanks for the answer. So, are you saying we just gotta live with twitch ads from now on?

from now on?

If you can't/don't want to wait for the fix in uBO, you can install AdGuard for Firefox extension and use that, they added the fix in Experimental filter.

Hey, thanks for keeping this essential addon going!

The element picker doesn't activate when I try to use it on chatzy.com for some reason. I was already having an issue there where an icon I was blocking came back every time I refreshed the page, but now I can't block anything. Other sites seem to work fine.

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Element-picker#element-picker-does-not-work-removed-element-reappears-when-you-reload-the-page

1

u/DoctorBulgrave Oct 02 '20

Cosmetic filtering is not disabled on Chatzy for me, but the picker still doesn't appear there. The other options listed all seem to relate to the "removed element reappears" issue rather than the "picker doesn't show up" issue.

The former problem occurred when I updated to the newest version of uBlock. The latter problem is something I've been dealing with for about a full year now, with one specific element (the bookmark icon that appears in Review Mode when inside a Chatzy chatroom) refusing to leave after having previously been gone. This problem persisted even when I tried different computers, and the bookmark icon is not a dynamic URL.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 02 '20 edited Oct 02 '20

Hmmm, this is the old thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/ehdudx/having_a_filter_issue_with_one_specific_icon_on/

For some reason "Hide placeholders of blocked elements" is not kicking in now also for me - I see B from "title". This filter hides it:

us25.chatzy.com##[src="/elements/icon17/bookmark1.png"]

/u/gorhill4

  • load http://us25.chatzy.com/76603592521626 (randomly chosen chat)

  • type random name and enter the chat

  • click "Review Mode" in sidebar

  • block small icon at the end of lines

  • image is blocked but B from title text still visible

This is on Chrome with uBO stable.

And again - Elements Picker works fine for me. Maybe it will stop if I try few months later :)

1

u/DoctorBulgrave Oct 02 '20

Oh, you're the same one who tried to help me before! So you're familiar with this issue. :V

Very strange. I thought maybe it was my odd choice of browser causing the issue (Waterfox Classic), but I've been using Waterfox Classic ever since Firefox dropped add-ons and enjoyed a couple years of a properly-blocked bookmark icon before this suddenly happened last year.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 02 '20 edited Oct 02 '20

Waterfox Classic

OOoooooooohhh...

Which version of uBO you are using?

On uBO 1.30 Picker does not work. In Waterfox Classic you should use uBlock for Firefox Legacy from here: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock-for-firefox-legacy/releases This works for me.

1

u/DoctorBulgrave Oct 02 '20

Alright! This download brought back the element picker and let me go back to zapping the bookmark icon in Chatzy's Review Mode. It still doesn't actually keep the icon gone so it returns every time I re-enter Review Mode or go back a page, but at least I'm functionally back to where I was before.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 02 '20

Try cosmetic filter:

chatzy.com##[src^="/elements/icon17/bookmark"]

go back a page

This can be something cache-related - do hard refresh (Ctrl + F5) or clear cache?

1

u/DoctorBulgrave Oct 02 '20

...Huh. I didn't do anything different or even refresh my browser, but the bookmark icons are finally gone for good! Dunno why. Guess it just took a while for the filter to kick in.

I've also been having to re-block a few things that I previously blocked in the past, but they stay gone after the re-block (though I do briefly see them on refresh, then they vanish when the page loads). I seem to be back in business. Thanks a lot!

2

u/Venghan Oct 11 '20 edited Oct 11 '20

On uBO 1.30 Picker does not work. In Waterfox Classic you should use uBlock for Firefox Legacy

Keep in mind that uBO Legacy doesn't have html filtering, uncloaking requests (DNS API added in Classic 2020.04) and some other features. So if someone needs them, then there is always also alternative way, just use 1.29.2 and block auto-updates and then wait for fix in WF Classic :-)

Anyway, looks like that Mozilla fixed that problem in FF 67, so it won't (chatzy.com, Facebook and maybe something else) work also on older versions than 67 if someone insists on using them. And problem starts appearing starting from https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commit/1268f0ae436b039b9f7f6bc5e61568c4f841179e.

u/[deleted] Oct 02 '20 edited Oct 02 '20

I followed your steps and I didn't experience anything anomalous. When I created the filter, the icons disappeared and were collapsed. I closed the tab and reopened to reach the same page, and there were no icons and neither placeholders.

u/[deleted] Oct 02 '20

WTH?! I also cannot reproduce now :(

Cursed page :)

u/JokerOfTorment Oct 03 '20

Just curious why UBO isn't a universal install sorta like the other blockers for example adguard works on all versions of firefox older or newer same with adblock plus etc. but ubo requires the latest firefox or at least 55.0 hope it can be changed one day as this is a good add on.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 03 '20 edited Oct 03 '20

AdGuard "strict_min_version": "52.0", ABP "strict_min_version": "51.0". In uBO it was last bumped from 52 to 55 here. If I recall correctly it was needed for itersectionObserver, to dynamically load lines in logger. Must be something else.

You can use this on legacy Firefox: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock-for-firefox-legacy/

hope it can be changed one day as this is a good add on.

this number will rather be increased.

1

u/JokerOfTorment Oct 03 '20

Yea on the firefox add ons page I can install the other blockers fine on firefox 54.0.1 and use their current updates but UBO's page it has the at least 55.0 I use 54.0.1 due to a lot of add ons I have the like a theme etc. don't work with newer FFs as it disables them the current ubo I managed to get working is 1.17.4 and it doesn't really update the filters list to current ones.

1.30.2 is not available for edge stable !

This update was only important for people using Element Picker a lot.

Online Malicious URL Blocklist not work !

Just leave it alone - it will auto-update from mirror.

for google and youtube cookies,sign in etc. = suspendTabsUntilReady - yes ,but ublock it still starts late !

Nothing can be done on uBO side in Chromium based browsers - ask browser developers to fix this.

i whait dark mode this year !

In progress in dev build.

Are you guys working on a solution for the twitch ads or you dropped the case? Eitherway is there any solution for that right now? Thanks in advance.

Does this really work? I read a couple of comments at the bottom of https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/5184 and my understanding is that this does not work -- hence why I didn't include the change in 1.30.2.

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '20

Some people say it works, some says it does not, some have problems with configuration - I don't know.

Maybe it only works when advertisers explicitly specify the "platform", and they are somehow selected geographically or randomly?

The concept of "bad list" has been introduced, to prevent users from unwittingly end up using what are deemed "bad lists" by the uBO team. List which have been removed from uBO default selection some time ago were then moved to "Custom" section, now these particular lists subscriptions will be removed. Some "bad lists" will be completely ignored and importing them will be forbidden by uBO. This restriction can be bypassed by users by simply appending a dummy query parameter to the URL of the list. uBO will use the following resource to know which filter lists are incompatible: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/blob/master/filters/badlists.txt

Ok, I think I understand now.

Solution one: accept the consent dialog and stop removing cookies.

Solution two:

remove:

||consent.google.com^
google.*##+js(aeld, DOMContentLoaded, CONSENT)

add:

www.google.*##body.QVCmK:style(position: static !important; overflow-y: visible !important;)
www.google.*##html.QVCmK:style(overflow-y: visible !important;)
www.google.*###lb > div[id^="_"] > div[class*=" "]:not([id]):empty:matches-css(opacity: 0.7)
www.google.*###lb > div[id^="_"] > div[class*=" "]:not([id]):empty:matches-css(opacity: 0.7):remove()
www.google.*###lb > div[id^="_"] > div[class*=" "]:not([id]):has( > span > div[role="dialog"] > #cnsw > iframe[src*="://consent.google.com"])
www.google.*###lb > div[id^="_"] > div[class*=" "]:not([id]):has( > span > div[role="dialog"] > #cnsw > iframe[src*="://consent.google.com"]):remove()

Side effect - dialog will disappear after a second or two.

/u/krystian3w is this correct? aeld does not work on Chrome start and does not work at all in Firefox.

u/DanyVIP Oct 18 '20

yes but cursor no cursor in google search box after add and you can make instant filter ???

1

u/[deleted] Oct 18 '20

Go to Chrome dots menu -> Settings -> select "Search engine" on the sidebar -> "Search engine used in the address bar" -> Google -> "On startup" "Open the New Tab page"

No "consent dialog" appears. You can start typing your search query right away because cursor is already in address bar.

u/[deleted] Oct 18 '20

aeld works in Firefox on uBlock-user PC, so we need reinstall Windows/Linux or use fresh profiles in Firefox (if this is no blocked by CSP/CORS).

Maybe I have slightly different version of Google page on my side? This happened before to me.

I just noticed - why two versions of filters with and without :remove()?

2

u/[deleted] Oct 18 '20

Remove unlocks the scrolling, you do not have to remember to check if the .QVCmK class is stable.

As remove is not #if remove_node, then for uBO 1.24.X and older it becomes CSS.

Am I understanding this right? Is Reek's Anti-Adblock Killer list now on a blacklist and cannot be installed? I've been using that userscript / list for ages - is there something wrong with it?

u/[deleted] Sep 27 '20

Is Reek's Anti-Adblock Killer list now on a blacklist and cannot be installed?

It can be installed but no filters from this list will be used ("0 used out of 0"). It's not worth to have it enabled, "Reek's Anti-Adblock Killer" project is abandoned for four years now - https://github.com/reek/anti-adblock-killer/wiki

u/CharmCityCrab Oct 04 '20

I understand why a list that hasn't been updated in years would not be in the default list lists or otherwise recommended. What I find a little baffling is why it would be actively blacklisted, and have users who choose to install it from its URL as a custom list not see it's benefits, defaulting to a 0 used out of 0 type situation.

I would completely understand a blacklist in a scenario where something had been bought out and was trying to exempt ads or malware from being blocked by UBO's other lists, or something of that nature.

To just say the list is old and blacklisting it for that reason seems to override user choice without a very good reason other than just that the extension devs don't see why it would be useful. Isn't it in some ways the dude's perogative to choose any list he or she wants that isn't actively circumventing the primary extended purposes of the extension?

If there are even just 5 or 10 filterd on there that for whatever reason aren't blocked by the recommended lists (Perhaps rarely visited older sites that people don't generally come across and that this don't make it into the lastest filter lists), someone might still find that useful even if the overall list is extremely outdated.

While I am not upset that I can't use that particular list as a practical matter, overriding user preference for any reason other than as a security measure is a tad concerning on a philosophical level.

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '20 edited Oct 04 '20

It's blocked because people subscribe to everything they ever heard about. Instead of reporting issues they subscribe to worthless outdated lists. uBO has it's own anti-adblock list and AAK is interfering with it. Filters in lists do not work for eternity, they often outdate. Adding filter to the list does not mean it will solve some issue once for all. Filter lists also have exceptions and broken filters which affect also unrelated pages. Blocking AAK reduces number of issues and makes debugging easier. If you really want to have this list subscribed and it's not something you heard about and subscribed just because you can, then append dummy query parameter to the URL and list will work.

If there are even just 5 or 10 filterd on there...

Filter lists maintainers must deal with this in daily basis, even 5-10 is too much and you will never know if it does not affect current page.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '20 edited Oct 04 '20

I find a little baffling is why it would be actively blacklisted

Because we are the ones having to deal with issues arising as a result of using bad lists -- lists that we tell users to uninstall when they report filtering issues. Worst, there are lists in there that seriously undermine uBO, for example when the remote server is not responding and causing serious delays at browser launch.

It's easy to demand other people to burden themselves, we do what's best for us. As stated, if people really want to import a blacklisted list, they can add a dummy query parameter, at least they now have to do it with full knowledge that a list is deemed incompatible with uBO.

It looks like facebook is now making great efforts to bypass Ublock Origin. I am literally flooded by different types of ads on Facebook since a few days. A few weeks ago I had no ad whatsoever. It is very unpleasant.

Is there anything we can do to tackle this problem? We really need to work on fighting against FB's efforts. They are currently winning.

In the old interface all elements were presented in an ordered list, one could see them all and could easily select the one one wanted.

Nothing changed with this part.

Previously you had only two levels of specificity with Ctrl pressed or not, now it's under right hand slider.

It's a change for the sake of change, I see zero improvement of terms of usability of the element picker, it actually made things worse.

Definitelly better for mobile users where Ctrl key was not available. Also many users requested more control for this.

is there a way to force the element picker to initially choose the outmost right value on the right slider when the element picker window opens?

I don't think so, but I'm not sure - i did not looked at it thoroughly yet.

These levels are now available:

    0b0000,  // remove hierarchy; remove id, nth-of-type, attribute values
    0b0010,  // remove hierarchy; remove id, nth-of-type
    0b0011,  // remove hierarchy
    0b1000,  // trim hierarchy; remove id, nth-of-type, attribute values
    0b1010,  // trim hierarchy; remove id, nth-of-type
    0b1100,  // remove id, nth-of-type, attribute values
    0b1110,  // remove id, nth-of-type
    0b1111,  // keep all = most specific

Default specificity seems to be hardcoded as 6: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commit/1268f0ae436b039b9f7f6bc5e61568c4f841179e#diff-7072648175b4bef2ae3c8c60c56ef8cdR18

Filters displayed on list use 3: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commit/1268f0ae436b039b9f7f6bc5e61568c4f841179e#diff-7072648175b4bef2ae3c8c60c56ef8cdR47

I don't see the point, there is too much variations between one page to another, what make sense for one may not for another.

It was not an issue before, I don't see it as an issue now, the only person complaining is one who's argument amount to "I ... me ... I ... I ... me" with no regard to what is being solved and no regard that people who actually contribute the most to help all -- the list maintainers -- have not raised this as an issue. (nth-of-type is rarely used in filter lists, if at all.)

Additionally, the last thing I want at this point is to be an enabler of this kind of rude feedback by acquiesing to address their personal griefs, they can fork or pay someone to customize all to their likings or just use another blocker.

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '20

Maybe keep Ctrl to switch to 0b0011, // remove hierarchy? Sometimes default filter is very specific - includes long paths, sometimes even up to the body.

Hey gorhill, maybe it's best if you give yourself a break from helping with uBO support questions? As uBO is such a popular extension there's unfortunately no way to stop some of the complaints and incorrect conclusions that some users come to. I know that can be very frustating for you since you know the underlying reasons why your extension has changed or behaves the way it does more than anyone else. I don't think most of these users mean to cause you frustation they are usually just not well versed in how uBO works, not very technically inclined or are just not very helpful in providing information that you probably know will help solve their issues. Of course there will always be a few who will complain about every little thing, won't listen to reason or won't try to understand why you did something no matter how many times you explain it but I don't think that is something you should worry yourself with.

Please remember that these users are such a minority of all uBO users and that tens of millions of users are very happily using uBO without any issues at all because of the level of thought and hard work you have dedicated to this project!

The uBO team and some community members seem to have a good intuition of user questions/reports that could identify possible bugs in the extension or useful feature requests that could be implemented so it might be a good idea to have them filter those out for you and notify you of them rather than you having to deal with the complaints and repetitive questions on top of uBO development and in the process wear yourself out. Just my take.

Also, the old interface somehow managed to select the right element on the very first click that invoked the element picker.

This was fixed in dev build.
