Thanks a lot Raymond! That site now works. But ads are still visible, is it normal? From your answer I thought they’d be blocked.
I could block the biggest ads on the right-hand side by filtering “###pave_haut”, but the smaller ads in the main column, between the two-week forecast and the single day forecast, still appear. If they cannot be blocked, nevermind.
Best is to open an issue at uAssets, and post screenshot of what you see on your side and what should be removed. It’s not clear on my side what are ads or not.
Hello,
I’ve been trying to figure something out for the past week or so, looking on the documentation/wiki (and not finding an answer) and posting on a couple of sites, and I found a link to this “support” area in the GitHub file, so I thought that I’d ask for help over here. Sorry if I’m doing something wrong!
So here is my problem: on some sites, I want to disable the general “feed” of the site, so that I don’t need to look at their suggested posts or videos or whatever. This works fine on some sites.
Take www.youtube.com for example. I don’t want to see their video suggestions ever, whether I’m logged in or not. I just want to use YouTube to watch videos that I want to watch, not carelessly browse around and waste time. That’s why I went on the site and used the element picker and found out that if you hide ###feed, it blocks the feed. It doesn’t interfere with other parts of the site, which is good.
However, it doesn’t work as well on other sites. Let’s look at two examples over here:
YouTube Gaming – https://gaming.youtube.com
Now I want to block the feed similar to blocking the feed on www.youtube.com, but this has some adverse effects. What’s the problem? It essentially blocks content from other subdomains.
So I want to block that streaming video header at the top, as well as the trending videos and whatnot. Basically all the videos that appear on the homepage. And then I realize that I want to hide the tabs at the top as well, because I don’t need them, either. Using the element inspector I play around and realize that if I block ###contents, it blocks all of that crap. So I have a new rule:
gaming.youtube.com###contents
However, now, when I search for something, nothing shows up, because ###contents is being blocked on the subdomain, https://gaming.youtube.com/results?search_query=game, as well. Also, when I go to a user’s channel, it essentially hides everything except the header and picture of the user. I think it would be better to block ###contents only on the homepage, which is https://gaming.youtube.com, and nothing else. I haven’t found out how to do this, though.
I also tried individually blocking the streaming video header, trending videos, etc. instead of going all out with ###contents using the element picker, but this has one unfortunate consequence: when I go to a person’s channel, it doesn’t show me any videos there. So that’s why I’m looking for something to block just on the “domain” of https://gaming.youtube.com – as in only when that is showing in the URL bar. I hope that makes sense.
Reddit – https://www.reddit.com
Similar problem here, though slightly different. When I go to the site when I’m not logged in, it shows me the font page which I don’t want to see. When I am logged in, it shows me my front page which I am okay with seeing. So I tried blocking the font page when I’m not logged in, and I used this as a result:
www.reddit.com###siteTable
The problem this time? When I’m signed in, I can’t see my own personal front page. It’s blocked as well! This is a bit more complicated, because the URL stays https://www.reddit.com/ and doesn’t change. So I don’t know if uBlock can create a filter that will only work when I’m not logged in (I guess I might be out of luck for this particular case). In addition to hiding the front page completely, it also hides posts from other subreddits and the posts when you click on them (i.e. you can only see comments). So, in essence, it completely breaks the site. I don’t know if there is a good way to do this or whether I’ll just have to live with the fact that it is impossible to do so (which isn’t really that big or a problem, just more of an annoyance).
Thanks for reading this wall of text. Hopefully someone will know how to do something about this!
Use:
linkneverdie.com##script:inject(bab-defuser.js)
I will add it to uBlock filters.
I posted a comment here about six hours ago, but it got flagged as spam, probably because of all the links it contained. No one has reviewed it yet, so I’ll post it again, this time without the links. Thanks for bearing with me.

Reddit – Lets call the URL Reddit

When I am logged in, it shows me my front page which I am okay with seeing. So I tried blocking the font page when I’m not logged in, and I used this as a result:

In addition to hiding the front page completely, it also hides posts from other subreddits and the text of posts when you click on them (i.e. you can only see comments). So, in essence, it completely breaks the site. I don’t know if there is a good way to do this or whether I’ll just have to live with the fact that it is impossible to do so (which isn’t really that big or a problem, just more of an annoyance).

Edit: It seems like the comment was approved after all. Should I delete that comment? I’m not too sure… I feel like I should keep this one as it’s the “latest” one. Do advise me on how I should go about doing this. Thank you!
Hi, I’m having a issue with a website called dramafever
If ublock it’s disabled, “what to watch”
Regards.
The site[1] loads fine on my side, using default filter lists[2]. Since I can’t reproduce, you will have to investigate why this occurs on your side, use the logger for this. Once you find which filter causes the issue, report the issue to the maintainer(s) of that filter list.
[1] https://www.dramafever.com/, please provide a full URL next time so that those who want to assist do not have to guess what site/page you are referring to.
[2] Also provide your settings next time, this way this maximize the likelihood someone else will be able to reproduce your issue. It’s impossible to help without reproducing an issue.
Hey! Sorry to bother you, but is there a way to do what I had asked? Even a yes or no answer would be fine.
I really wish I could use uBlock Origin in Apple Safari browser, both desktop and mobile. Please develop it and many of us would gladly pay $.99 to download.
Does anyone else know of any other support forums? Should I post in the GitHub issues area? I’m quite confused…
I think youtube is working a way around UBO, as there are breaks in videos that correspond to ads playing, but the video simply reloads and continues, as if you had refreshed the page.
How do I whitelist URLs that are loaded from a LAN computer?
In my case these are URLs that are http://192.168.x.x/* , where x is a number. I find myself individually whitelisting these URLs in uBO, and I would like to just whitelist them all to avoid further inconvenience.
I believe this is 192.168.0.0/16 in CIDR notation.
Examples of URLs that should be whitelisted:
http://192.168.16.101:421004/gui/
http://192.168.16.1/
http://192.168.15.1/
http://192.168.1.1/
Example of an URL that should not be whitelisted:
http://192.168.phishing.website.com
Currently not possible, see issue 1578. I will try to address this for next release, there is code in that area which I should re-work anyway.
Each time I go see your post, I see a wall of text and just to parse it would require more time than I have on hands when I come here. In any case, anybody should be able to answer your questions.
Right, thank makes sense, haha. Thanks for answering.
Unblock LogMeIn Client.exe?
When using LogMeIn, in Firefox, with uBlock enabled, I cannot remotely control a client computer. I’ve whitelisted logmein.com, but that doesn’t help.
I suspect the issue arises when I try to open the LogMeIn Client.exe file, which normally opens the remote control window. The remote control window does not open.
If I disable uBlock completely, the remote control window will open.
Use uBO’s logger to find out what uBO is doing to network requests.
I am new to this forum, so not clear to me if this Topic will appear in [Support] uBlock Origin or not. That is where it belongs.
I just installed uBlock Origin 1.9.16 for use for Pale Moon browser Ver. 26.5.0 (x86) on a Windows 7 (64 bit) computer. I have made no changes to the how uBlock was installed.
However, I notice that for websites which have drop down spelling suggestions as ones types, uBlock blocks the dropdown, and therefore, no suggestons. Here is an example site:
http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/
Can someone tell me how to get uBlock to accept these drop downs? I have scanned all the Help I can find on uBlock Origin, but cannot find that addressed. I am not a programming expert by any means–just a user.
