Hello, I'm a web designer and I recently used Google Chrome Developer tools, but I found out, that uBlock adds into almost every webpage I open content like the one below (the marked code line in dev tools). I tried to find out, which list does it make and I've discoverred that it is work of EasyList one (concretely this: EasyList‎ (adblockplus.org): 0 použito z celkových 57 869). See the example:

snimek obrazovky porizeny 2015-06-19 20 43 01

You probably ask something like:
What's wrong with that?

  • It adds this content as an last child of the body or head and alternating, once body, another time head. Why?
  • It shows even on webpage without any add at all as you can see in the picture
  • CSS selectors like E:nth-last-child(n) could be messed up
  • [href^="http://www.face"] and [href^="http://www.link"] are just too much specific

These points doesn't look like good behavior. That's why I openned this issue.

The issue #161 that gwarser linked to contains a great explanation for the OP. The Wiki (recently updated) also links to that information, BTW.

I was thinking... does this technique mess up CSS selectors like E:nth-last-child(n) since it is adding another child?

@dvorapa

Oh, I didn't see that, thank you.

The selector mess is another thing I don't like on this uBlock solution...
