ublockorigin / uassets

Resources for uBlock Origin, uMatrix: static filter lists, ready-to-use rulesets, etc.

uAssets

This repository is for the resources of uBlock Origin (uBO). It receives all reports for new filters or existing filters that cause web page breakage. Any contributors are welcome. Contributors who are proven valuable will get write permissions to the repository.

The rationale for including a specific filter in uBO's filter lists is the same as the EasyList/EasyPrivacy policies and also takes into account whether a filter requires uBO's extended filter syntax.

It is preferred to fix filter issues in EasyList. Any filters included in uBO's filter lists must use the extended syntax.

The EasyList-compatible fixes for high-traffic websites are added to uBO filters until they become added to EasyList.

uAssets will fix the following exceptions even if they do not require using the extended syntax:

• Ad-Reinsertion
• Anti-Blocker
• Context Menu Blockage
• Cut/Copy/Paste Blockage
• Popups/Popunders
• Website Breakage
• Video Ads

uAssets will not address the following:

• Paywalls
• Porn Farms

How to correctly report an issue

• Disable all other browser extensions and see if the problem still persists

• How to provide troubleshooting information:

  If the problem persists, then please:

  • On the problematic website, click the uBlock Origin icon
  • Click the chat icon
  • Click "Troubleshooting Information" to expand, and copy that information into the appropriate github issue.

flightradar24.com: blank page when using Fanboy's Social

One or more specific URLs where the issue occurs

https://www.flightradar24.com

Describe the issue

Page is blank. First reported in the Chrome store:

I can't use this, this blocks lots of stuff that shouldn't be blocked. I can't even access flightradar24, it's showing as a blank grey page to me

Versions

• Browser/version: Chrome 51
• uBlock Origin version: 1.6.9

Settings

• Default settings + Fanboy's Social.

Notes

This is caused by the class .twitter-feed on the body tag. Solution: flightradar24.com#@#.twitter-feed.

Twitter: "BBC website homepage images now don't load with uBlock Origin"

Describe the issue

From https://twitter.com/rabsi1/status/719880655195267072:

Hmmm, the BBC website homepage images now don't load with uBlock Origin enabled in Chrome.

Cause: EasyPrivacy's /nav-analytics/* is breaking the page.

Solution: @@||nav.files.bbci.co.uk/nav-analytics/*$script,domain=bbc.com|bbc.co.uk.

I tried ||nav.files.bbci.co.uk/nav-analytics/*$script,redirect=noopjs,domain=bbc.com|bbc.co.uk, unfortunately, this resulted in many exceptions thrown -- though the page seemed to rendered fine, I fear there still might be less obvious breakage in there, so I will prefer the exception filter-based solution.

uBlock filters new version doesn't update

uBlock Origin 1.6.8 / Firefox 45.0.1 64-BIT / Windows 7 64-BIT

Hi,

I've just noticed that a new version was available for 3rd-party filters / uBlock filters.
Clicking as usual on Update now proceeds with the update but once finished the update appears as still available.

Auto-update filter lists is disabled - Above mentioned concerns only uBlock filters (no other update available showing) : uBlock filters‎ : 415 used out of 417 new version available

Versions

Notes

Ideally, a solution which keep the blocking if newrelic.com scripts would be optimal, but this would require further investigative work.

For now, these exception filters work:

@@||newrelic.com^$third-party,domain=play.spotify.com
@@||nr-data.net^$third-party,domain=play.spotify.com

These exception filters override block filters in EasyPrivacy. Not sure about the second exception filter, but given the seriousness of the issue, I will add it and investigate further when I have time (which is definitely not now).

Twitter Pre-Video ads

URL(s) where the issue occurs

https://twitter.com/WIRED/status/729436240093708288

Describe the issue

Some Twitter videos have a video ad that plays before the actual video.

Versions

• Browser/version: Firefox Developer Edition 48.0a2 (2016-05-08)
• uBlock Origin version: 1.7.5b1

Notes

  </div>
</div>

The ad video and the actual video URLs follow the same schema, making it hard to block the request.
Blocking video[data-type="ad"] simply renders the video black, it still plays with audio enabled.

The video is skippable by clicking on the 'Skip' button, which has an onclick event that calls this.trigger('uiReportAdSkip').

Stop YouPorn's EasyList trickery

URL(s) where the issue occurs

NSFW: http://www.youporn.com/
(Currently fixed.)

Describe the issue

It seems like YouPorn and the like aren't running out of exception filters to abuse from EasyList. Maybe add a solution for uBO.

Notes

Maybe something similar to this: https://github.com/IDKwhattoputhere/uBlock-Filters-Plus/blob/master/uBlock-Filters-Plus.txt#L217
Example:
/iframe-*.html#zone_id=$domain=pornhub.com|redtube.com|redtube.com.br|tube8.com|tube8.es|tube8.fr|youporn.com|youporngay.com,third-party,subdocument,important

Got the list of domains from the PHN filters in EasyList. Can't say if it's all or if some aren't even involved. PornHub for example (while being referenced in the EasyList changelog) isn't currently using any tricks while YouPorn's trickery is still up (although fixed in EasyList).

Add WebSocket blocker to resource library

This is basically gorhill/uBlock#1497 but in the repo where the resource library now lives.

One or more specific URLs where the issue occurs

@IDKwhattoputhere found this:

http://putlocker.is/watch-better-call-saul-tvshow-season-1-episode-1-online-free-putlocker.html

Describe the issue

As @neuronix said in the original issue:

Services like revdefender use websockets to load anti-adblocking scripts. Currently, Chrome does not allow extensions to monitor websocket communication. A workaround would be to inject a small script replacing the Websocket definition by a dummy implementation.

Unfortunately, custom scripts are not allowed, so this would have to be included in the resource library.

Your settings

• Browser/version: Chrome Stable 50.0.2661.75 on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
• uBlock Origin version: 1.6.8

I believe, however that this issue is not dependent on OS, browser, or uBlock Origin version.

If I bother to figure out how to dummy out the whole WebSocket API, I'll send in a pull request, and if I further figure out how to use an ES6 Proxy to ensure that the copy of WebSocket in any new frame is also dummied out, I'll send in a PR with that...except that I just found that Safari 9 doesn't support Proxy and that will be important if anyone ever tries to port this extension to Safari.

Also, I saw from caniuse that Chrome started supporting Proxy in version 49, which is also the last version for Windows XP and for a couple old versions of OS X; because Firefox started supporting Proxy in version 18, Pale Moon probably supports it too. Opera started supporting it in version 36 (the current stable version), and so do the Safari Technical Preview and Microsoft Edge.

WebSocket meanwhile is supported in all browsers that uBlock Origin runs on, along with some older browsers.

Ublock Origin Blocks Too Much Content on 9now

9now.com.au

Ublock Origin Blocks the ads on 9now but it also blocks all the video content from loading. Simply turning off Ublock Origin allows the content as well as the ads to load.

About uBlockO settings backup file

Hi,

I've just noticed a parameter in the backup file of my uBlockO (my-ublock-backup_[date].txt) which puzzles me because I don't understand its relationship to my uBlockO actual settings:

userSettings : "experimentalEnabled": false

If this corresponds to 3rd-party filters, uBlock filters – Experimental‎ : it is checked and updated : why false then?
Otherwise, to what does this experimentalEnabled correspond to? Unable to find any other experimental feature in my uBlockO Dashboard settings.

Thanks

Video does not load -- stuck at "Loading video...".

Your settings

• Browser/version: Chrome 51

Observations

The video player is Flash-based.

The script http://static3.gamespot.com/js/compiled/trackingWithCT.js?[...] is blocked by EasyPrivacy's /trackingwithct.js. Creating an exception filter for that script unbreak the video player.

Describe the issue

Video ads are not being blocked. Brightcove uses a way to circumvent adblockers. Was unable to find a working filter. Scriptlet might be needed.

Click-bait ads on christianpost.com

Describe the issue

Click-bait ads appear on the right-hand side of the site -- issue first reported on EasyList forum: https://forums.lanik.us/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=29559.

The EasyList solution is to broadly whitelist scripts from a dubious 3rd-party domain:

@@||letsadvertisetogether.com^$script

The optimal solution for uBO is to block these exception filters, and update the scriptlet which defuses these ads at the source.

Also, to block graphic.christianpost.com/js/plugins/sticky/sticky.js to prevent DOM ugliness as a consequence of the click-bait ads not loading.

Cosmetic Filter: Wired "Sponsored Stories by Outbrain"

One or more specific URLs where the issue occurs

http://www.wired.com/2016/04/wait-web-isnt-really-dead-google-made-sure/

Describe the issue

The content of Wired's sponsored stories powered by Outbrain just below each post is already blocked by both "hpHosts’ Ad and tracking servers" and "MVPS HOSTS". However, the HTML frame surrounding them is still present occupying prime real estate.

Re. "Adblocking - Blocking more than ads"

One or more specific URLs where the issue occurs

An article reports pages broken by blockers: http://www.slideshare.net/aidanajoyce/adblocking-blocking-more-than-ads.

Find out wherever possible what is reportedly broken, then find a fix.

• Slide 9: video player broken on bp.com.
  • Solution: ||ggwebcast.com/*/kaltura/ga/urchin.js$script,redirect=noopjs
  • This keeps the blocking, but unbreaks the video player.
• Slide 13: cosmetic filtering causing legit content to be hidden.
  • Solution: umbro.com#@##ad_main
  • Using ad_main id in a page is probably not the best idea (could be deliberate, to force users to turn off their blocker).

Dailymotion ad before videos

Sometimes i get ads before videos on Dailymotion. I'm in Hungary, and i get hungarian ads.
If i click on the ad, it opens a new tab with this address: http://www.dailymotion.com/ac/video/* and i see an empty site.
