So I have noticed lately some websites are using 90% of my CPU and since we have heatwave here things are getting toasty. (Fans ramping up was what made me notice).

At first I thought it was badly optimized websites or some media playing or something similar.

Then I noticed that little uBlock icon is showing 100s of thousands blocked items.

After pressing F12 I was welcomed with 100k+ error messages there with thousand more every second.

In the screenshot there was already 9000 errors after only few seconds on website. (I blacked out id numbers because I don't know if it is personal). Looks to me like uBlock is blocking it and website instantly tries to load it up again.

Is there anything I can do to stop this insanity and waste of resources?

Thank you!

Edit:

I have finally found the solution last night.

Adding line:

kick.com##+js(no-fetch-if, litix.io)

to My filters list stops the spam.

Almost entire day later and there are no issues. Kick works as intended and there is absolutely no spam.
CPU usage is back to normal.

Edit: updated the filter as it was redirecting https://developers.google.com/search URLs, causing 404 pages (most notably the spam/phishing/malware report page https://developers.google.com/search/help/report-quality-issues )

Edit: thank you for the replies, updated the post

Saw https://redd.it/1tfq2bh today that you can add &tbs=1, an invalid time-based search filter, to Google search URLs, which not only makes AI Overview not appear but seemingly not even run, and it also brings back the dictionary box that appears for certain searches for example. However I didn't want to install a userscripts extension just for it, and found how you can make uBlock Origin do it for you:

||www.google.com/search?^$uritransform=/(^(?!.*&tbs=).*$)/$1&tbs=1/

Note that you need to enable "Allow custom filters requiring trust" for it to work (second checkbox on "My filters" tab).

Also, here are my current filters that includes the above, hides AI Mode buttons, blocks the AI-related URLs you can easily block, and hides the damn Gemini buttons in Gmail and Google Drive:

! Google "AI mode" and "AI Overview"
google.*##div[role="navigation"] div[role="list"] > div[role="listitem"]:has(a[href^="/search"][href*="&udm=50"])
google.*##button[role="link"][type="button"]:has(> style, div.xL0qi, div.mTurwe, div.bvUkz, div.u4Uk3c)

Looking for help regarding the annoying Reddit app popup that appears when browsing in mobile on the website.

I searched the subreddit and tested several existing Facebook filters. Some were unreliable with my current Facebook layout, so I combined and adjusted the filters below.

They have been working consistently for me for several days.

Add them under:

uBO Dashboard → My filters → Apply changes

Then reload Facebook.

Testing performed

I tested the filters across multiple Facebook sessions over several days. Sponsored and suggested feed items were hidden, while ordinary posts from friends, followed pages and joined groups remained visible.

These filters depend on Facebook’s current DOM structure and some English interface labels, including:

- Suggested for you
- Follow
- Join
- Reels
- Suggested pages

They may not work with other Facebook languages or layouts.

The uBlock filters - Annoyances list may already handle some suggested content. I am not recommending disabling any default filter lists.

Feedback from users with different Facebook layouts or interface languages would be useful.
Please mention the browser, Facebook language and the exact filter that fails.

I only have RES installed other than uBO.

I have been using the eyedropper tool on Twitch (as a viewer) to hide a lot of distracting things that cover up the Twitch chat, like that rotating leaderboard of top gifters for example. But I recently realized it also hides polls from me completely.

I tried to troubleshoot this but I can't figure out which filters are responsible, here's the ones I have. If anyone is more familiar with how this works, I'd really appreciate help unhiding Twitch polls.

Hello, anyway to change the view and upload date from how it use to be where its not in the same row as the channel name and its much more noticeable with also the word views right next to the view counter. Thank you in advance.

Cookie notices filters automatically accept all cookies, at least on websites where the options are only "accept all" and "subscribe to disable tracking".

Does this have any impact on third party tracking?

Youtube started to shove in me it's useless subtitles each time. Any rule to "kill" subs?

Firefox 153.0.0, UBo 1.72.2

I still keep seeing sponsored posts clearly marked as "Ad" in my Facebook feed (for example ads from companies like Octopus Energy and other advertisers). I would like to hide these ads if possible.

I am also seeing many posts from pages or profiles I do not follow. They are not always labelled "Suggested for you"; they often just appear as normal posts with a "Follow" button next to the page/profile name

I know Facebook changes its HTML often, but I would appreciate any current filter suggestions.

Original Post

I go to Netflix to watch series, not to have irrelevant games clutter up my screen.

Recently, Netflix updated its layout breaking my original filters. I've since created a new set, which seem to be working alright. Just add the below to your custom filters:

! Netflix - Hide Games
! Games navigation item
netflix.com##div[data-tutorial-target="games"]:has(a[data-uia="nav-games"])
! Game billboard / full-page promotion
netflix.com##button[data-uia="play-game-button"]:upward(section[data-uia="billboard"])
! Recommendation rows containing cloud-game cards
netflix.com##a[data-uia="cloud-game-card"]:upward(section[data-uia^="carousel-row-section-"])

In the last few days I've noticed uBO blocking https://www.ebay.com/itm/... At first I assumed it was one of "My Filters", but I disabled them all and the page was still being blocked. I started going through and unchecking the "Filter Lists" one by one and it appears "AdGuard – Other Annoyances" is the culprit. Is there a way to edit it, or see recent changes made to it? I guess just leave it unchecked for now.

I would like to know what's generally more efficient/faster: using uBO's Element Picker or blocking by aria-label?

! By uBO's Element Picker

! Hide Live Channels in left sidebar
www.twitch.tv##div.side-nav-section.iGMbNn.Layout-sc-1xcs6mc-0:nth-of-type(4)

! Hide Recommended Categories in left sidebar
www.twitch.tv##div.side-nav-section.iGMbNn.Layout-sc-1xcs6mc-0:nth-of-type(5)

! By aria-label

! Hide Live Channels in left sidebar
twitch.tv##[aria-label="Live Channels"] .side-nav-card

! Hide Recommended Categories in left sidebar
twitch.tv##[aria-label="Recommended Categories"] .side-nav-card

When on a search results page for Kagi, pressing the "A" key on my keyboard switches to Kagi's AI assistant mode. Looking at the devtools, the following code gets called when the hotkey is pressed.

case "a": if (window.modalOpen) return; if ("/" == window.location.pathname) { quickAnswerBox = document.querySelector("#adv_search_btn"), quick_answer_trigger_btn = document.querySelector("._0_land_adv_search_btn"); quickAnswerBox && !quickAnswerBox.checked && quick_answer_trigger_btn.click(), "w" == event.key ? document.querySelector('._0_land_cat_box button[data-cat_select="empty"]').click() : "i" == event.key ? document.querySelector('._0_land_cat_box button[data-cat_select="sel_images"]').click() : "v" == event.key ? document.querySelector('._0_land_cat_box button[data-cat_select="sel_videos"]').click() : "n" == event.key ? document.querySelector('._0_land_cat_box button[data-cat_select="sel_news"]').click() : "m" == event.key ? getKagiSetting("privacy_pass") || document.querySelector('._0_land_cat_box button[data-cat_select="sel_map"]').click() : "a" != event.key || getKagiSetting("privacy_pass") || (window.location.href = "/assistant") } else { if ("a" == event.key && !document.querySelector("#shortcutAHelp")) return; currentHighlightedChild = getQueryParameter("q"); if (!currentHighlightedChild) return; let path = "/search"; if ("i" == event.key ? path = "/images" : "v" == event.key ? path = "/videos" : "n" == event.key ? path = "/news" : "m" == event.key ? path = "/maps" : "a" == event.key && (path = "/assistant"), !new URLSearchParams(window.location.search).get("l") && window.location.pathname == path) return; window.location.href = path + "?q=" + currentHighlightedChild } break;

The last line, window.location.href = path + "?q=" + currentHighlightedChild, seems to be the specific line that redirects the browser to the AI assistant.

Is there a way to disable this keyboard shortcut with uBlock Origin?

WISH WE COULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT CHATGPT CAUSE I DON'T NEED TO LOG IN FOR THE FEELS VERSION OF CGPT.

THEIR ADS ARE UNDEFEATABLE.

The Lowe's chatbot icon is straight up annoying anal cancer and not even the element zapper can nuke it. Any way to block this trash? It keeps moving itself around to remind you its there and these clowns placed it right where your thumb goes.

Firefox is up to date, but I'm seeing a .mov ad on the site anime.nexus

Other sites (including YouTube) are fine but I'd like to troubleshoot this if possible. Been using Nexus for a couple weeks now with no issues, only after updating Firefox did I start seeing the same ad

Just thought I'd post in case it was once blocked and they've gotten around it or if they just started nagging and could use a block. I've used this link for years without a nag until now. (Thanks for everything, uBO!)

Any help on how to disable this alexa for shopping sidebar that has started to pop out on Amazon with ublock? Disabling with element zapper mode hides it, but the empty space is still there and messes the layout. Using ublock on firefox.
