Pink boxes appear as I move the mouse cursor around but clicking or double clicking has no effect. I have tried picking an element with uBlock both enabled and disabled. Nothing worked.

I have Safari 9 with Mac OS X 10.10 and it behaves kind of the same, but sometimes it does work. It can stop working on a page it was working before after a reload.

Update: I tried to use the debugger on the safari dev console with global breakpoints on all exceptions. Then when I tried to use the element picker, the debugger caught the following exception in a method cosmeticFilterFromElement:

 "Exception with thrown value: TypeError: CSS.escape is not a function. (In 'CSS.escape(elem.id)', 'CSS.escape' is undefined)"

After some googling I have found that this likely relates to a WebKit issue

@DOFfactory

+1 Very annoying. Any resolution soon?

No. uBlock is officially abandoned, finally.

uBlock is no longer under development for Safari because the extension APIs that made it possible are now deprecated and have been replaced by the new Content Blocking APIs
