uBlock doesn't work properly with "Medium Security" in Tor browser 7.0.7 #3156
Comments
What version of uBO? (mind CONTRIBUTING please). |
Ublock 1.14.14 |
Was this not happening with the previous version of the Tor Browser, or is it just the first time you happened to notice it? The fix here will make uBO load properly the filter lists, but it will need to do it from scratch at every launch, and this means the filter lists will need to be all updated at every launch, because medium "Security Settings" and above does not allow the use of |
The first time i notice it, is with tor browser 7.0.7. When i have 7.0.6 i have no problems. I also think a problem with the update from 7.0.6, but i have the same problem also with a clean installation of 7.0.7. If i close tor browser with high in security setting and reopen it, i cannot update the filter list. |
For me the problem is not solved with ublock 1.14.16. With "security settings" low: With "security settings" medium: |
I could reproduce the original issue. I identified that the opening of the indexedDB database silently failed. This is what I have fixed. I can no longer reproduce the issue: You will have to investigate on your side to figure out what is your new issue. If I can't reproduce something, I can't investigate it. |
In medium security, the filter lists will take significantly longer to load into memory, because uBO is forbidden to use indexedDB to cache the filter lists. Are you waiting long enough to be sure the filter lists are all loaded before testing? |
What is that other extension you have installed? I test with only uBO, no other extension. |
The problem is with noscript (extension installed by default with tor browser). 3 cases:
From my own experience: Are you able to reproduce this problem? |
After some test in "case 2", i see that in ublock the filters work, but "element picker" and "element zapper" don't work |
@laniakea64 Any known issue with NoScript to explain observations in #3156 (comment)? |
I'm not the best person to ask. I don't know Tor browser at all. Is this reproducible in the corresponding Firefox version? |
Should be, Tor Browser is basically Firefox, after all. Maybe some different default settings.. |
I am not able to reproduce case 2 or 3. uBO works fine in either case. |
As said above, I can't reproduce your issue with uBO and Tor Browser in medium security mode, with or without NoScript. So at this point this means whoever is able to reproduce it will have to investigate on their side to narrow the cause of it. |
In Tor browser 7.0.7 ublock don't work if security level is set to medium or high.
