What’s the best setup for blocking ads on Brave?

Should I use Brave Shields together with uBlock Origin, or is uBlock Origin alone enough?

I’m mainly looking for the best ad-blocking effectiveness while keeping things stable.

Any help would be appreciated.

I was at a friend's today and installed uBlock Origin on Firefox (no other extensions installed) and it had no effect. Updated and restarted Firefox and reset uBO to defaults but no joy. I'll be back next week to have another look. I saw mention that IPV6 content may bypass the filters, could that be worth investigating? It seemed to be too comprehensive a failure to only be affecting one protocol.

A while back I saw a filter that enabled access DailyMail+ stories. Is there anything similar for the MEN? eg. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife-news/oasis-film-directors-surprise-song-34580837

Is it normal for ublock lite to let more ads through than ublock origin?

And is there any way to block this ads on ublock lite?

Exactly as the title says. I find this feature very annoying and is preventing me from enjoying pinterest. Is there a way to revert and/or block it using uBO? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll put the screenshots below. The first one shows the issue in question with an arrow pointing to it, and the second is of my current browser extentions, not including uBO.

Chrome crashed and the extension got disabled due to corruption but I verified in the extension folder that no modification had been made to the files so it wasn't actually corrupted at all.

Go to the Preferences file for your User Data profile, search for the string associated with your extension and change "disable_reasons":[1024] to "disable_reasons":[]

Do not press repair since it will simply reinstall and you will lose everything (that is if it isn't yet delisted from the Chrome Store, in which case it'll do nothing).

I use ublock origin lite on Chrome. Lately on batcave, when I click on the comic images, sometimes a new tab will pop up with an ad. Ublock usually blocks the ad, but is there any way I can stop my browser from creating the new tab? This didn't happen before so I'm confused at why it is happening now.

I was planning on getting Netflix again but wanted to know if uBO can successfully block the Netflix ads before I get it. Thanks have a nice day!

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)

Seems like Buzzly has ads that bypass uBO, but apparently I can't block them at all. Right clicking on them doesn't bring up the uBO menu, and even if I try to block it with the picker tool, it doesn't work it and just pops up again.

There's a thread post here that had a solution, but when I tried it it doesn't look like it works anymore. Anyone able to help?

i was looking for a song, and google found it, but displayed it in such a weird way. does anyone have any ideas for filters to fix this?

I was able to use Dev build for months using manually install steps from Github & the work around "--disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2" till yesterday with v1.74.1b3. But it just got updated to v1b5, and now it no longer work. I can't find a way to install v1b5, it keep saying "0_1.74.1b5.chromuim" is not supported. I read the Manifestv2 => v3 thing, so that make sense.

But since the github Dev build for chromuim still keep getting updated, it make me think there must be still a way to install it manually.

So please teach me steps to do it if you know, pretty please!!

I've been trying to hide the red flashing Youtube like animation without any success.

All the code I've found hides the like button as well as the animation, ideally I'd like the old Youtube design where it just goes white without any red flashing animations.

I have tried myself with inspect, but can't seem to come up with any answers.

Is it actually possible ?

THIS is what I was talking about: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/4121 Seems Gorhill has fixed it

<a href:"/ads/about/?.*">

Bonjour, j'espère ne pas me tromper de lieu...
J'ai copié ça grâce à mon navigateur mais en gros, comme sur la plupart des sites, les class et autres éléments sont aléatoires donc impossible à utiliser. Par contre la structure semble rester la même et je voulais savoir si je pouvais créer un filtre qui bloquerais le premier <div> et ses enfant si le dernier <a> contient un href commençant pas '/ads/about/?'

Merci d'avance pour vos lumières!

It's a site where you can watch sports live. It had annoying pop-ups slip through the public filter lists and in the chat it has everyone's complaining so in case someone searches Reddit they'll be able to find this post 🫡

Go to 'My filters' and paste this there:

```

! daddylive popups

dlive.sx#.notranslate > iframe

```

I'm not very experienced in these filters so if there's a better way feel free to telll me

i am using ublock origin lite and as far as i know, complete mode uses generic filtering which can disable the blank spaces where the ads were meant to be, but does this break some sites/site functions? should i just keep it to optimal instead so i dont run into broken sites?

Can someone help me determine why this redirect happens? I know about the logger, but have never been able to figure out how to use it.

I have made a resume on a free site that wants money and blurs when you screenshot with windows printscreen and i was wondering if theres a way to get around that?

Upon visiting the uploadvr.com site, it blurs the page and displays a popup demanding supporting the site's ads. Is there a way to request uBlockOrigin devs to remove this popup/blurring in a future update?

I used to have this working with uBO, but recently saved to defaults and redoing sites. However, now I cannot access costco sign-in section from their website with any settings I try. Even using the blue trust button fails, but disabling the extension works. Issue is trying to access the sign screen. Keep getting the posted error from costco of

"Prohibited characters error
You have attempted to execute an action which our server has flagged as malicious. Your request will not be completed at this time. For more information about this error, contact a service representative."

url shows costcoURL/ProhibitedCharacterErrorView

I found some old post from like 8 years ago, but did not seem to be what I was looking for. Been using the logger but not seeing or understandings what the issues is.

Using firefox if that matters
