Unable to reproduce.
The mentioned blocking rule (or any of the other ones found in those filters) doesn't seem to cause any issues for me at bing.com, using uBO.

Nice try microsoft employee 😅. That rule blocks logging and should not break the page. Try backing up then resetting your adblocker to default settings. Also, I'm unclear - are you using uBlock Origin or Adguard?

[Khrin]

@superlex I did the same procedure but I'm also too unable to reproduce the issue, did you encounter it with either Ublock origin and Adguard?

[superlex]

@Khrin
Yep, both Ublock origin and Adguard (one by one).
The problem is
bing.com/fd/ls/lsp.aspx
blocked by EasyPrivacy rule
||bing.com/fd/ls/$~ping
that uBlock0 see as
||bing.com/fd/ls/$xmlhttprequest
Another user has the same issue.

Neither could I - I don't have Mac so tested on Windows and Ubuntu with Firefox + uBO + default lists, no problem with the same procedure.

Neither AG Team can reproduce it
AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters#60897
If you prefer close the issue, thanks anyway :)

[Yuki2718]

@superlex Which another user, if him/her or you add the exception and reload the page the issue disappears soon and then if removed the exception the issue come back 100% of the time without exception? Could you test that with a fresh Firefox profile with only uBO or AdGuard + default settings installed?

[Yuki2718]

May worth a new issue, but upon trying to reproduce the original report I happened to get a missed ad. As expected, hard to reproduce - I even don't know how to reproduce the box below the ad which on other Firefox profiles shown in the left side (the SS was taken on a default Firefox profile). If anything, I logged into MS account, searched, logged out and then searched the same. Search language was set to English via Bing config.

Theoretically it'll be removed by either of

bing.com##.ins_exp.tds
bing.com#?#.insml > li :-abp-has(.ins_exp.tds)

but I couldn't test - "open this frame in new tab" and it disappeared.

@Yuki2718

I had reported that a couple months ago, bing.com##.ins_exp.tds was working at the time - guess they haven't changed it yet which is good

@Yuki2718
Thanks.
Clean FireFox profile: I cannot reproduce (I tried both uBlock0 and AdGuard).
Old FireFox profile: I can reproduce, id="b_content" is empty.
I asked the other user to try, too.

[superlex]

Neither the other user can reproduce it with a fresh FireFox profile (importing old uBlock0 backup configuration) :)

[Yuki2718]

Neither the other user can reproduce it with a fresh FireFox profile (importing old uBlock0 backup configuration) :)

Then I guess the issue may be related to something corrupted in the profile than the rule itself.

@Yuki2718
Yep, I'll investigate..
