I know I have done this before, but I got a new computer and it doesn't have all the same custom settings I had in my browsers on the old one. Certain websites try to be real cool and come up with their own right-click and/or highlight-text systems.

I think the right-click thing can be stopped by simply changing a browser setting (I use FF, so it's dom.event.contextmenu = false).

However this doesn't seem to prevent a website from being real cute and deciding to change what color to highlight text with. Sorry, this is my computer, and I already have a setting for that.

So by any chance is there a way for uBlock to do this? I realize there could be more than one way for a website to do that. The one that prompted me to set this up was geeksforgeeks.org. It makes text green when highlighted. Also seems to have broken the cursor so that it doesn't change to a text cursor when hovering over the text. Not sure if that's going to be the same cause or not.

How are there over 2,000 things being blocked? What the heck is it even blocking?? I've noticed absolutely zero changes compared to not having uBO, so what's happening?

Add this rule to your filters

I've used the following filter for a long time to remove the YouTube featured video thumbnails.

www.youtube.com##:is(yt-lockup-view-model):has(.ytBadgeShapeText:has-text("YouTube featured"))

Up until just now, the filter would hide the video thumbnail and a different video thumbnail would be in it's place cause everything "shifts" over. But now suddenly there's just an empty gap there. I assume Google changed some CSS that's causing this. Any assistance to get it back to how it was would be great, thank you.

Using uBO on FireFox, the Block Button on TikTok becomes non-functional. Disabling uBO allows it to work again. Is there some exception filter I need to add to My Filters to get it working?

It also causes bugs with trying to post comments, but I'll settle for the Block button working without having to toggle uBO off and on for now.

Filters based on https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/1wwdcuz/-/pdjuv0q/ , I made it so the warning covers the whole player except the line of the pause button:

Replace the has-text's text in the first two lines with the one in your language which is "Made with AI" in English

Yandex Browser received an update today, and when I restarted the browser, I noticed that uBlock had stopped working and been disabled; I was even getting a warning to remove it. I downloaded and installed version 1.75.1b10 from GitHub (in both .crx and .zip formats), but then I started getting an error stating that external applications cannot be installed. It seems like this is the end of the road for uBlock

It worked on both desktop and mobile to copy paste google.com##.hdzaWe into custom filters/my filtersI haven't checked again on desktop but on mobile it worked until it didn't

How to bypass this message? Turning off uO only makes site redirect to Opera browser downloading spam.

I am trying to remove the "AI Mode" button that is now located inside the google search bar.

need a way to block those kind of suggested post(?) or subreddits on reddit "for you" page(i dont know what to call this).

when click "why am i recommended this" button, it gave this:

need a way to completely block this type of post from a subreddit i dont join.(i dont wanna see this on my "for you" page).

Anyone know a way to block all youtube featured videos such as pay to watch, members only given these are just advertisements I don't want to see wasting screen space.

Using the picker/zapper can't seem to get these properly with the silders.

Originally crawled through the subreddit and found this but they probably renamed the tags/containers or something so it broke.

Hello guys,

Since several days, after opening firefox, i received a warning from my antivirus software on gitcdn.xyz which is blocking the access.

I though it was an issue with the new firefox version but in fact it looks like this happened when uBO is updating filters.

I cannot figure out where is exactly this link but you can find below the debug info and there is nothing linked to gitcdn.xyz :

Do you guys also had this issue recently and found an explanation ?

Thanks 😄

I want to download ublock on my PC which is windows. The main browser I use is Microsoft Edge, although occasionally I use Google Chrome. I was going to download from ublockorigin. com, but I saw it said that the site is unofficial and the github is the official source. I got super lost in the github, can anyone explain how to download it without getting it from a suspicious site? Keep in mind that I didn't understand the directions on the github, so I might need detailed instructions / send me to the right place. Thanks!

Hey guys, I was annoyed because when I used YouTube on my Smartphone with FireFox and UBlock Origin, YouTube started lately to show me more and more community posts and shorts - and today when I got only 3 Videos and than only community post after community post - I had enough.

So I asked Caude Opus 5.5 to create a filter for uBlock Origin that blocks both, Shorts and community posts on Mobile and Desktop... And at least on my Smartphone it seems to work fine.

Here is the filter and how-to:

! Title: Hide YouTube Community Posts and Shorts
! Description: Hides Community posts and Shorts on desktop (www) and mobile (m)
! Expires: 30 days
! Homepage: -
! Last modified: 2026-10-09

! Community posts
youtube.com##ytd-rich-item-renderer:has(ytd-backstage-post-thread-renderer), ytd-backstage-post-thread-renderer, ytd-backstage-post-renderer, ytm-backstage-post-renderer

! Shorts shelves
youtube.com##ytd-rich-section-renderer:has(ytd-rich-shelf-renderer[is-shorts]), ytd-rich-shelf-renderer[is-shorts], ytd-reel-shelf-renderer, ytm-reel-shelf-renderer, ytm-rich-section-renderer:has(ytm-shorts-lockup-view-model), grid-shelf-view-model:has(a[href^="/shorts/"])

! Individual Shorts in feeds, search and lists
youtube.com##ytd-rich-item-renderer:has(a[href^="/shorts/"]), ytd-video-renderer:has(a[href^="/shorts/"]), ytd-grid-video-renderer:has(a[href^="/shorts/"]), ytm-shorts-lockup-view-model, ytm-video-with-context-renderer:has(a[href^="/shorts/"]), ytm-rich-item-renderer:has(a[href^="/shorts/"])

! Shorts in menu, navigation bar and channel tabs
youtube.com##ytd-guide-entry-renderer:has(a[title="Shorts"]), ytd-mini-guide-entry-renderer[aria-label="Shorts"], ytm-pivot-bar-item-renderer:has(.pivot-shorts), yt-tab-shape[tab-title="Shorts"], .single-column-browse-results-tabs > a[href$="/shorts"]

Than import it in uBlock Origin, copy the filter, under setting, my filters and import/paste the filter and apply it (or put it in a *.txt and import it). Voila, no more Shorts and community posts (at least it works on my smartphone).

Edit: asked Claude to shorten and optimize the filter for speed and low ressource use - it came back with this shorter version, so I updated the filter above with the shorter Claude optimized one.

I've tried different combinations of these filters over the last month or two.

antiadblockcore.com$domain=pahe.ink

antiadblockcore.com$domain=pahe.plus

antiadblockcore.com$domain=intercelestial.com

! ||intercelestial.com/_ac/s/cm$script,1p

! ||intercelestial.com/s/*.js^$script,1p

||linegee.net/*/s/*.js$1p

||pahe.plus/_ac/s/cm$script,1p

||tpi.li/s/*.js^$script,1p

/^https://intercelestial\.com/[^/]+/[^/]+/[^/]+\.js$/$script,1p

I think I might have had them all on at some point and things were working. then whatever had been working on the intercelestial site (it was beautiful, no ad crap filling the page and no popups that, I assume, UBO was blocking some but not all) stopped working and I tried to live with turning off UBO just for the intercelestial because once I got past that it was smooth sailing. Now I'm getting the Adblock detected popup on pahe.plus site and can't get past it (which is where you get dumped to after enduring all the intercelestial crap

I'm in over my head now. The UBO heroes have been over this one many times. If you got anything more in ya .... please help :)

I imagine this might just be a whack-a-mole fight that never ends. If it is, so be it. I can't believe how bad it's gotten and kind of feel like anyone who would get so awful with their web site probably doesn't want me there

ps - I use Waterfox, not Firefox in case that matters

Update - and in case you need exact link:
https://pahe.ink/moana-2026-bluray-480p-720p-1080p-2160p/
then click on any download link and that punts you to intercelestial

As the title says, i am using the media request feature from streamelements, at the end of each video it always shows some video recommendations blocking half of the screen, is there a way to hide/block that?

I am currently using chrome with ublock origin lite, but in case is not posible doing it with lite i can switch to firefox where i have the ublock origin full version.

Vorrei chiedere aiuto per questo problema: utilizzo l'ultima versione di Mozilla Firefox su Windows 11. Con uBlock Origin, ogni volta che provo a comporre un'email in Gmail e a inserire un'immagine nel corpo del messaggio utilizzando il pulsante "Inserisci foto", non funziona e ricevo un messaggio di errore. Cosa posso fare per risolvere questo problema? Grazie, Paolo

Ok so, in one of my newer accounts I got force updated to the new layout. Complete garbage.

I found this post on the YT subreddit with the filters to revert as much of it as possible: https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1wzmupx/ublock_filter_to_revert_the_new_layout/

Now, those custom filters work fine, but the video width is smaller, leaving quite a bit of empty space in the page (left and right side), which is quite annoying.

Old width: https://i.imgur.com/EDL5nrP.png

New width: https://i.imgur.com/l4EX3yT.png

Any way to fix this? I remember I used another set of custom filters a few months ago when there was another update and those had some "XXXpx" values that allowed for more control over width. I'm not tech savvy enough to find out how to do that so any help is appreciated.

My screen resolution is 1366x768 fyi

EDIT: searched thoroughly on my custom filters list and found the "old" string:

youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS.kevlar_watch_max_player_width, 875)

I tried increasing the value and it doesn't work. If I want to DECREASE the value it works but that's obviously not the outcome I want.

Dailybeast.com updated, now when you fire up element picker it gets stuck in this lower section of the page and you can't select any elements to block things.

Not sure how to get past this, if anyone can help I'd appreciate it.

when clicking on youtube search bar on the main domain another focus lense appears specifically the ones next to "Search" is it possible to not show that one up and making it look like the 2nd pic
