I have uBlock Origin 1.2.1 on Firefox 41.0.1 with default settings, and uBlock is blocking Disqus comments on some sites but not others.

Specifically, in the uBlock UI, Disqus entries show up for site(s?) where Disqus does work, but not for sites where Disqus does not work, and, bizarrely, on the same webpage, when uBlock is disabled, Disqus comments show up, but the entries in the uBlock UI don't. This behavior occurs even when uBlock is the only active plugin. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for any help. Here's some screenshots to illustrate...

However, on the same Washington Post page, when you turn off blocking in the uBlock UI, Disqus comments do now work but there's still no entries in the UI for Disqus.

Disqus comments don't work with uBlock active and Disqus entires don't appear in the uBlock UI...

Because the The Washington Post does not use Disqus...

There is a filter to prevent the annoying redirection, but it breaks comments. To enable comments (along with redirection as side-effect), use an exception filter for the WP:

@@||js.washingtonpost.com/wpost/js/combo?*.js$first-party,script

Hmm. Thanks for the replies, but...
Tried setting to advanced user and pasting the above into the My Filters tab in the UI, but still not working. Def not a conflict with any other plugin as have tried with all of them disabled. What am I missing/doing wrong?

Works for me. Did you apply the changes after you put in the filter?

That also did not work for me.

WP changed their site since then. Try:
