Any update on this?

Every day in cat mouse tribe.

Any update on this?

What's the matter? Our filters should have been working for last few days. Make sure you don't have another blocker in any network layer and your filters are up-to-date.

Every day in cat mouse tribe.

Apparently they gave up, but we will keep monitoring.

[knakamura8]

What's the matter? Our filters should have been working for last few days.

When I posted on December 20th, they were not (tested on several different networks with fully up-to-date browsers before asking). Checking the latest batch of commits, now it is working. Thanks!

[krisu5]

I tested with Brave, checked the hosts file (no blocks there), Brave's own blocker and other addons disabled, reseted uBlock settings and updated filters: still not working for me. I can't think I have something else that would cause it.

Same with my Firefox, but I try with clean profile soon-ish.

EDIT: wait, now Brave works (its own blocker has to be disabled). Not in Firefox still though, but I try to see if it's something on my end.

EDIT2: figured it out on Firefox, Firefox's own blocker (ofc, it was already disabled on my end to begin with) and both "ClearURLs" & "I still don't care about cookies" addons needs to be disabled.

In chrome maybe needed is disable heavy ads protection:

chrome://settings/content/ads

[Yuki2718]

chrome://settings/content/a

I doubt that.

[krystian3w]

/a is invalid

Cause: Xpi uBo Personal Filters
See the requirements to report issues:

• I did not enable external filter lists, or I verified that the issue still occurs without enabling external filter lists
• I do not have custom filters/rules, or I verified that the issue still occurs without custom filters/rules

[troysjanda]

What specific filter as I dont see any filter for that site

[Yuki2718]

doubleclick.net^$important

[troysjanda]

I see thanks however not going to remove that filter. what would be a good filter to exempt that site from that filter.

[Yuki2718]

Nothing, unless uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues#2437 (comment) is somehow accepted. Just turn whole JS off via no-scripting switch on the site.

[Yuki2718]

Oh, did you mean exempt the site from the rule? Then replace the rule with ||doubleclick.net^$important,domain=~soranews24.com

[troysjanda]

Oh, did you mean exempt the site from the rule? Then
||doubleclick.net^$important,domain=~soranews24.com

yes to alllow on that site to fix breakage

[troysjanda]

||doubleclick.net^$important,domain=~soranews24.com

So I then would add other domain separated with a comma to exempt more if this happen again. or how to add more exemptions to the same rule

[mapx-]

||doubleclick.net^$important,domain=~soranews24.com|~another.site

[troysjanda]

Thank you.
