"Hide placeholders of blocked elements" does not work with file:// protocol #942
3 participants
I need a URL to test, I don't have a local server set up.
OK, that helps narrow it down. This happens when using the file:// protocol. This is not a huge issue, though if it could be fixed that would help: now I thought I had reproduced a more complex issue with a trivial file, while it's actually a different issue (which I need to investigate before possibly reporting, it's happening with a webapp in development, so not public yet).

changed the title from "Hide placeholders of blocked elements" does not work on simple image to "Hide placeholders of blocked elements" does not work with file:// protocol
@dbdr Currently, uBlock doesn't fully keep statistics for file:// pages, nor does it inject the scripts (which are needed to hide the placeholders).
@gorhill from what I can tell by looking, if we wanted to support file:// protocol pages (which are basically local .html files opened in the browser), manifest.json line 29 and manifest.json line 35 would both have to have file://*/* added to them.
And tab.js line 54 would probably have to accept file in addition to http, as well.
So @gorhill did you want to support file:// pages?
I know what the problem is, there is nothing to investigate.

I've never stumbled upon a file://hostname/ form. Does this ever happen?
Trivial case:
Even though I have "Hide placeholders of blocked elements" on, the img is visible as the stock "broken" image.
Seen with uBlock 0.8.8.2, both with FF 36.0 and chromium 40.
