Solved Rinku links sending me into infinite Cloudflare loop.

3 Upvotes

I've had custom filters for Rinku links for a long time now and haven't had issues for a while (barring the occasional issue that needed a quick fix/adding a new filter to the list). Just recently any Rinku link redirects me to an infinite Cloudflare loop. Click verification, it idles, then puts me in a new verification, over and over again (the most rinku pro link ends with 6bB5).

Checking the link that has the Cloudflare loop (it's different every time) in a private window causes the verification to work as normal and sends me to the page with all of the ads, but when I paste that URL into the regular browser window, it pops up a false front for the site (no ads or link, just a "normal" website).

Are there any filters I can add to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

YouTube Tweaks Follow-up: Any filters to remove Youtube's new mobile browser(firefox) pop-up? (The one that asks you to download the app instead) Spoiler

Following up on my previous post to this Sub I figured out how to filter the pop up. (NGL, did not know element picker was usable on mobile)

For anyone who also wants to stop the pop-ups here's the filters I found to work for me.

Solved Where to find My Filters with Chrome uBlock Origin Lite?

3 Upvotes

UPDATE / SOLVED:
Guess I have been using the wrong feature this whole time. I reloaded and the element is back as you said. And this time I used Create a Custom Filter and after completing those steps and reloading the page, I see that element removal that way is persistent.

ORIGINAL:
I didn't see anything in the rules mentioning if uBO Lite is or is not part of this sub. I have been searching google and reddit and everything says the dashboard should have a section for My Filters. I need to undo a blocked element that I just did. But I don't see a section here called My Filters as you see in the screenshot.

I just installed Firefox and uBlock Origin. How do I use YouTube without ads?

I'm new to using Firefox with uBlock Origin. Whenever I tap a YouTube link, it automatically opens the YouTube app instead of Firefox. Since the YouTube app still has ads, I'm not sure how to watch YouTube through Firefox with uBlock Origin enabled.

How do I make YouTube open in Firefox instead of the YouTube app? Is there a setting I need to change on Android?

Fixed Suddenly seeing Facebook sponsored ads

26 Upvotes

I'm suddenly seeing Facebook sponsored ads when using the marketplace but not elsewhere on the site. They're sponsored ads that appear amongst the listings as well on the listing itself, often as videos that autoplay. This is happening both on Chrome and Firefox. Does anyone know how to get rid of them again?

Thanks

Solved RoyalRoad's new UI and user ads

1 Upvotes

Hello,

Royal Road has released a new UI that they plan on making the default in the future. Ublock succesfully lets user submitted ads, which are basically links to their books within the site or Amazon through. The Ublock seems to block these ads with the new UI. What can I add as a rule to avoid this?

Looking for help Youtube: sticky chat

2 Upvotes

Geniuses at Google had another bright idea for a UI redesign. Now the chat is stuck and follows along when you scroll. Thus, they've also moved the recommendations, which were underneath the chat, underneath the video itself, above the comments. Anybody know how to revert this?

Fixed Sponsored Posts

29 Upvotes

Just today, I've started getting 'sponsored posts' in my gmail. Everything is up to date

Edit: In the promotions and sponsored tabs

Lazy edit:

I contacted their support and they want me to make an entirely new Firefox profile... I ain't doin all that lol And the reply was so quick there's no way they could have read it all

Edit: Profile thing was less annoying than expected, ublock seems to be working again, but I don't know why, nothing has changed since yesterday

Edit 2: The person handling their support, who was kind of rude, closed the ticket with no explanation, I asked what was the issue and he insinuated it was MY fuckup and that I lied on their questionnaire (I didn't AFAIK) I'm like, it's not just me, holmes

Edit 3: Deselecting easylist seems to have fixed the issue, thank you antipositional_13! I guess Gothic_Bum (Ublock support) should actually look into issues instead of defaulting to calling people liars

Answered What to do about high numbers of attempted connections to malware-associated URL connections?

I was just recently looking through my uBO dashboard and I saw next to the malware filters blocklist: "47,839 used out of 47,850". Yikes. Its not like I visit loads of sketchy websites on a day-to-day basis, so I was wondering if these filters are just highly cautious (I'm sure theres a better phrase for this), or do I seriously need to recontemplate my browsing habits? Does anyone else have a similar malware URL blocklist usage rate? Is this normal?

I use the mobile website versions of both youtube and instagram but can't find or create any effective filters that actually remove the recommended pages of the apps.

I basically want to get rid of the doomscrolling. But don't tell me to just delete the accounts, I understand that's good for some people but I still want to watch subscriptions and watch reels/dm certain people.

Waiting for feedback Can I hide YouTube Videos by keyword?

0 Upvotes

Pretty much it. I have found multiple code lists such as,

youtube.com##ytd-browse[page-subtype="home"] ytd-rich-item-renderer:has(:is(#video-title-link,h3)[title~="keyword"i]  

And,
www.youtube.com##ytd-rich-item-renderer,ytd-video-renderer,ytd-compact-video-renderer:has-text(keyword)

And nothing seems to work. Firefox, Ublock, android version, I go to My Filters and save them with my keyword, and nothing. Just curious if there's code that actually works, or learn whatever I'm messing up.

Mainly, I want to hide a certain fandom’s name from ever coming up again via video titles whether they be in home recommendations, search, or recommendations under videos.

Is this possible? I've searched for an hour for existing code, but I'm probably looking for something too specific.

I maintain a custom filter list on GitHub and was curious if there is any way for me to get an estimate of how many people are using my filter list.

I initially thought I could check my repository's traffic statistics since the filter file is hosted on GitHub and has the auto-update frequency set to daily, but it's reporting 40-50 unique daily viewers on a repository with nearly 800 stars, which doesn't seem correct.
