Google / Facebook / Twitter

Google

||google.*/promos$important found this connection while i'm searching on, suspect to use for promote/suggest to install Google Chrome (Especially when you're not use Google Chrome/Pure Chromium)

Twitter

||twitter.com/i/cards/*?advertiser_name$important it's loaded as frame, probably for show promoted tweet, but I think it not useful because promoted tweets still show in Twitter timeline.
It seems already hidden when use uBo and apply uBlock filters, but I think currently have none of any filter lists block this request.

Facebook

• ||facebook.com/pubcontent/feed_chaining$important found this after liked/reacted post from pages (or friend's post that shared post from pages), don't know blocking this also prevent nagging drop-down panel to show? (related, featured for you, similar, etc.)
• /xfbml.ad.js$important Advert scripts that made by Facebook, should block as all scope (any party), don't know is EasyList still blocked this?

And I want to suggest you to workaround with advert prefs page because ||facebook.com/ads$important is blocking way to manage advert prefs and cannot manage them properly.

• Got browser auto-refresh while trying to delete them, and any changes doesn't made in advert prefs manager
• or deleted categories/advertisers still appear in your profile after refresh.

In my side, I'm still block ||facebook.com/ads but not added $important tag to let some exception rules can be allowed.
Note: it's not related to ||facebook.com/ajax/ads$important

To allow Facebook retrieved data (that silently saved your preferences) of how many categories and/or advert companies into your account.

allow those requests below to sent request to Facebook that you really want to delete those categories and companies.

and counter the exception to prevent accidentally (re)added, such as undo.

Added them

Does ||facebook.com/ajax/ads$important work fine?

[kowith337]

@toshiya44 Yes, it's fine to keep blocking, no matter why.

[kowith337]

How about blocking nag popup overlay while viewing public posts or pages?

facebook.com###pagelet_growth_expanding_cta:has(a[id^="expanding_cta_login_button"])
facebook.com###pagelet_growth_expanding_cta:has(a[id^="expanding_cta_reg_button"])

Another element because it seems Facebook use different DOM id to throw another nagging popup

facebook.com##div[id^="u_0_"]:has(div a[role="button"][href^="/login/?"])
facebook.com##div[id^="u_0_"]:has(div a[role="button"][href^="/r.php?"])

[toshiya44]

I think using facebook.com###pagelet_growth_expanding_cta is fine too. (I've been using it)

Another element because it seems Facebook use different DOM id to throw another nagging popup

I don't think I've seen these. Post screenshots?

[kowith337]

It's sometime use _5hn6 class instead of pagelet_growth_expanding_cta
also login button was not use expanding_cta_login_button in DOM id.

But blocking straight without :has will also accidentally block popup when logged in (when you delete post, managing account and anything that show prompt dialog.), this why I've also added :has after...

Fix:

facebook.com##._5hn6:has(div a[role="button"][href^="/login/?"])
facebook.com##._5hn6:has(div a[role="button"][href^="/r.php?"])

Thanks @kowith337 . Added e512162

[kowith337]

Have any idea to re-block the Facebook login popup again?
It seems the DOM properties will be cleared and will be rewrite the property then.

• normally, uBlock will be add randomstring hidden and completely hide it, but now I cannot see that value and Facebook now managed to rewrite it.

Which version of uBO are you using? I don't seem to have this issue (on latest legacy version)

[kowith337]

I'm testing on chromium, first, but didn't reproduce on Firefox legacy.
Edit: maybe just my fault that misunderstood the element, it's ._5hn6, not #_5hn6

I'm trying to hide login form again if they change the element name with...
facebook.com###contentArea div:if-not(.clearfix):has(a[href*="/login/?"])
