uBlockOrigin

Hello

It was crazy hard to find a rule that actually worked to remove any videos - so I thought I might share it with others here. There are so many old or broken Reddit and SuperUser "solutions" in the web that just do not work (anymore?).

Here is a simple rule (yet heavy on rendering time) you can add to your filterlist if you want to block videos containing a trigger word:

youtube.com##yt-formatted-string:has-text(TRIGGERWORD_HERE):upward(ytd-rich-item-renderer)

e.g: for me "Trump"

youtube.com##yt-formatted-string:has-text(Trump):upward(ytd-rich-item-renderer)

Thought that might help someone else who might be searching for this in the future.

Weshalb ich unter anderem die Werbung durch @ublockorigin und @libredirect so wie @noscript im Browser verbanne und eine Einrichtung der Firewall ist auch eine Lösung.

Hey @Vivaldi do you plan on still supporting Manifest v2 extensions? If so, are you going to open your own extension repository so extensions like @ublockorigin can still be downloaded?

The weird thing is that I'm sure it didn't always do this. I thought it might be because I'm trying to cast with FX_Cast but even with Chrome this also happens. In the past this sometimes happened when you'd expect, if the internet was particularly slow that day for some reason, or if I try to play something with a high frame rate, but in general I could expect HD 1080p quality. While I can't know exactly what quality is casting, it looks more like 480 and sometimes 360.

Don't know if its relevant, but it's a chromecast 1 I've been using since 2014.

So, it definitely doesn't work now, but it's just, I swear I used to able to avoid ads while casting to chromecast by using my computer with ublock origin installed in favour of the android youtube app.

I'm already blocking it but manually unblocking stuff every time I visit a new webpage is getting kinda annoying. Does it make that much of a difference? Do you think it's worth the hassle?

Hi, I want to hide an element on a webpage, but a portion of that changes every time I reload the page. It looks something like this:

example.com##class_123456 > element

The bit with the numbers changes every time. I would like to replace this with a regex to match every numeric string of any length. I tried to figure it out myself but couldn't get it to work.

Any help is appreciated, thanks :)

Since a couple of month the amount, duration and volume of localized ads in my Podcast App has become a really annoying factor. You listen to a serious or even sad topic of a very personal story about death, just to get all the sudden interrupted by a squeeky fast food voice talking about some food or insurance with the most distracting and off putting voice. Its so loud and mostly ends the podcast experience for me in that moment. Some of them do not even have a pay-per-listen model that I could in theory avoid them. A ad in the beginning and end, okay, but they are every 15 Minutes in some productions. Its getting Crazy! Enshittification reached Podcasting.

I guess these localized ads are based on the IP I requested the download from, so I am wondering if there is a fix like a VPN downloading them from a really remote area, where no localized ad is available. Or if there is a player detecting those ads and skip them. I wish I could keep the habit of listening to podcast, but it has reached a point where it is nearly unbearable.

Did anyone had any success circumventing those blasting audio ads while falling asleep?

Works 100% of the time for me. So far, anyway.

I personally don't mind sidebar ads, I only mind pop-up and videos, since both block me from accessing whatever I'm trying to. Screenshot is what I have selected, everything outside of the screenshot on that page is unchecked. I now see the small sidebar ads on youtube, but still don't get the video ads. I know I'm gonna sound naive, but I hope it's my tiny part in calming down big corpo from trying to do an absolute block of adblock usage.

For a few days now, it seems that Ublock is not blocking Twitch ads. Does it happen to you too?

I wanna block "Sort by" and "Over time period" to make the page cleaner and look nicer.

I use ublock origin in Librewolf configured with Blocking mode: medium mode. As this mode blocks all 3rd party scripts and frames by default there's a lot of login sites that don't work because the use of captchas, so after some internet searching I've managed to make it work with following configuration in uBO my rules. You can replace * for a specific domain rule.

The FBI advises AdBlocker because of attack vector from cybercriminals and that will mean quite a bit. I advise you to be careful which one you use, because some are also malware and I recommend @ublockorigin.
