[Support] uBlock Origin

Well then, I’m honestly impressed and surprised! Thanks for setting the record straight. I should probably explore uBO more. I’ll edit my post so others don’t get the wrong idea.

Now we have two ways :smiley:

The :style is a recent addition, so I understand it’s not widespread knowledge yet. See release notes for 1.8.0.

How was the Microsoft Edge version made? Is it ported by hand, or was Microsoft Edge Extension toolkit part of the process. If it was done by hand, I could use the toolkit to make a port and see if it is better than the porting by hand.

I’m having an issue where my filter to block a div keeps not working. It will work until I refresh the page, and then it’s back, even though the rule is still in the My Filters list. I just recreates the same rule over and over and never works. What is going on? Here is an example:

Here is my filters list because of it:

! 8/26/2016, 5:49:20 PM http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/16w33a
minecraft.gamepedia.com###siderail

! 8/26/2016, 5:51:03 PM http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/16w33a
minecraft.gamepedia.com###siderail

! 8/26/2016, 5:51:18 PM http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/16w33a
minecraft.gamepedia.com###siderail

Thanks for the help!

The element is already targeted by uBO, there is already a cosmetic filter for it in EasyList. However the page apparently tried to work around that filter. Use gamepedia.com###content #siderail[style] instead.

Note that the page force a specific width for the main content, so it will still not occupy the whole width of the page. If you want it to extend to the whole page, you will also need:

gamepedia.com###bodyContent:style(width: auto !important;)

No, the whole bar at the top (the black strip, as you call it) opens up the dashboard/settings. Not just that icon on the left side.

Suggestion for uBlock Origin WebSocket extension for Chrome/Chromium

Just tried this extension again, and here is something I noticed:

Default after installation:

When ‘hiding’ the icon:

Not really an alternative, in my opinion.

From the CWS description:

The extension has no interactive UI, just an icon in the toolbar to remind it’s enabled. Your browser should allow you to hide the icon if it annoys you. Use uBlock Origin’s logger if you want to see and possibly filter WebSocket connections.

Now it’s just annoying in another place :wink:
I would definitely prefer if the icon could be hidden completely, especially since there is no UI whatsoever.

Status could be shown in the regular uBO UI, for example.

I of course looked into this when I made it. I couldn’t find a solution, I am not aware of any API in extensions API to allow this.

The Chrome extension docs I still had in my bookmarks don’t mention anything specific, I guess:
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/manifest

“icons”: is listed as recommended, but not required. Don’t know if this actually works, though…

You actually want to use an icon for the chrome://extensions page, but Chrome seems to use
the 48x48 or 128x128 icons here. https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/manifest/icons

The interesting question now is, what happens if you only specify these two icons or maybe only the 128px one…

I’d guess that Chrome just scales them automatically. But I’m certain that extension icons could be hidden from the UI completely in the past, so this must have been changed not so long ago…

I try to login (pay account) or use the web app and the ublock block this. If I disable the extension, creately.com work without problems. This site is for create online diagrams.

Thanks,
Nico.

Catch-22 – I can’t see the images associated with this “how-to” thread
https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/support-ublock-origin/6746/2
I can “view image” individually but not in context on the page. They are called from some Amazon source?
https://csa-discourse-uploads.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/optimized/2X/b/bce1d6fb0cdcb91795d0bbce900d0b4fefbbe476_1_645x499.png

I’m guessing because I block Amazon, but temporarily allowing Amazon and LiftDNA doesn’t help. Is it possible to post a copy of this How-to somewhere that doesn’t require links that get blocked?

I have seen some stuff that says that ublock contains the basic disconnects lists. Does this mean that disconnect has some other filters that improve it, or is adding disconnect a pointless endeavor?

Also, am I on the right place to ask questions like this? My other post (#182) has not been replied to.

Hi, I’m not sure if this is the right place for this (feel free to direct me to the correct support forum) but here’s my issue:

Apparently there’s some clash between uBlock and Avira browser safety.
I keep getting an extension error:
Warning:
This extension failed to redirect a network request to data:application/javascript;base64,bunch-of-letters
because another extension (uBlock Origin) redirected it to data:application/javascript;base64,another-bunch-of-letters.

Is there anything you could do about it?

I’m running latest stable version of Chrome 64 bit on Win10

I’m guessing because I block Amazon, but temporarily allowing Amazon and LiftDNA doesn’t help.

Use the logger to diagnose filter issues.

See issue 1170.

I don’t tell people whether to use or not other blockers. I provide tools to help in making that decision, here is a tool to help you find out what is not blocked on a web page. You can use it to evaluate for yourself any blocker or combination of blockers.

thanks!

and have a nice day
cheers

The problem is gone. I don’t know for sure what change made the difference, I did updates on all the lists — I can see the images in that thread now.

Hi Guys,

Just wondering…

Is there any easy way to turn on/off uBlock for all sites? Not just the current domain/page?

This would be really helpful for me.

Hello - 2 questions

  1. Is there any way I can export my settings in uBlockOrigin? I wish to export these and then import them into a brand new Firefox Profile.
  2. FEBE is a backup for Firefox Profile tool. uBlockOrigin is not coming up when I export Addon Settings. Is there something that needs to be done so I can backup my settings with my other addon preference settings?
    Thankyou
