You have to be specific especially with sites like pinterest: specific pages, screenshot where we could see the ads etc

[basilwizard]

Ok, i grabbed some screenshots. Specific pages is hard because it seems to be the whole site.

The promoted items are already hidden by this filter in Easylist:

pinterest.com##div[data-test-id="pin"]> *:has-text(Promoted by)

You should reset uBO to default settings, update all lists and test again

[basilwizard]

Ok, I rest uBO to default, updated all the lists and the promoted ads are still there

There is only a delay on my side: scrolling down the promoted stuff appears for a second then it's hidden

[garry-ut99]

Maybe another hard to reproduce case, like before: #10803

[mapx-]

@basilwizard test this filter

pinterest.*##:xpath('//*[contains(text(),"Promoted")]'):upward([data-grid-item])

[basilwizard]

omg that worked thank you!

[Yuki2718]

I wonder why the current rules are not working (working fine on my end). @basilwizard Can you disable the current rule by adding pinterest.*#@#:xpath('//*[contains(text(),"Promoted")]'):upward([data-grid-item]) and take screenshots of DOM of the ads like #10803 (comment)? Right-click on the ad and choose "Inspect element".

[Yuki2718]

Still unable to reproduce, not only the EL rule but also pinterest.*##div[data-test-id="pin"] span:not([class]):has-text(/Promoted by|広告/):upward([data-grid-item="true"]) is covering exactly the same and thus redundant. I'll merge them.
