I'm seeing this while loading multiup after adding that filter to "My filters". I don't remember ever seeing that message before with ublock. I also notice multiup takes much longer to load than before, making it hard to test. After the slowdown it seems to work. Removing the filter causes the speed to go back to normal, and the ad returns.

eh, FF is slower, did you test in chrome ?

I tested only in firefox, but I've never seen this issue before and it significantly slows down page load. I'll test the final fix in firefox and brave.

@ave9858 update filters
with current stable build you will see links unlocked like this

simply copy link & open in new tab

when ublock origin is updated to new stable build, this will work more adequately as fix has landed in dev build

[ave9858]

Thanks, I can see those links now. Only other issue is the popups quickly created by the site and removed during page load by ublock, but I'm not sure if that can be fixed or not.

just wait for next stable build

[krystian3w]

We do not need use AG_onLoad=function(func) if these fuction do not exist at all.

[krystian3w]

Also maybe these can be unlocked #7897, fyi @dhana-exe

I'm seeing redirects through https://multinews.me/produit/nordvpn and https://multinews.me/produit/1fichier-com/ now when clicking links.

[ghajini]

can't reproduce,share a link to see that

[ave9858]

Using the link https://multiup.io/en/mirror/7b670e960e2d88a1e586d2235a1395ee/uBlock0_1.52.2.chromium.zip. You might need to change your IP, the redirect isn't consistent and seems to be on a timer for each IP.

[ave9858]

Reproduced again by clicking on a link, using the browser back button, and repeating until I saw a redirect through https://multinews.me/produit/ipvanish. The exact URL seems to change a lot but seems to be always through multinews.me

[ghajini]

can't reproduce, make sure

• you have ubo filters updated with default settings
• ubo version updated to 1.54
• other similarly purposed extensions disabled when using ublock origin

[ave9858]

I created a new Firefox profile + new install of uBlock Origin, purged caches and updated, navigated to the URL, disabled firefox tracking protection and was able to reproduce after a few attempts and changing my IP.

Looking at the network requests in dev tools shows that most of the time the browser navigates directly to the file hoster page, but sometimes the browser sends a POST request to https://multiup.io/ajax/add-download-for-link and then https://multinews.me/produit/nordvpn (or similar url), which will at first redirect to the ad page and then the file download page on subsequent requests.

[ghajini]

ok i can reproduce now, website restructured now

[ghajini]

@ave9858 might be race condition ,update lists

when that happens use

multiup.eu,multiup.io,multiup.org##+js(remove-attr, action, [action*="multinews"], stay)
multiup.eu,multiup.io,multiup.org##+js(ra, class, [class="hidden"], stay)
multiup.eu,multiup.io,multiup.org##+js(ra, type, [type="hidden"], stay)

[ave9858]

With the latest filter updates I'm still sometimes seeing the issue, but its hard to reproduce. With the filters in your comment I haven't seen the issue, but that might be because the issue is not consistently reproducible.

Edit: Most of the time the download button works, but sometimes I see a POST to "https://multiup.io/ajax/add-download-for-link" and the page reloads instead of an ad.

Edit2: Tested without multiup.eu,multiup.io,multiup.org##+js(remove-attr, action, [action*="multinews"], stay) and I see the ad instead of the page reload.

Edit3: I'll try do debug the multiup scriptlet in uBO

[ave9858]

Figured out how to reliable reproduce the error: click the download button icon. The click will be registered to <i class="fa fa-fw fa-download"> instead of the button, so the script won't intercept.

[ave9858]

I've uploaded code that should fix the ad redirect when clicking on the icon

[ave9858]

Another unblocked ad, on a page with no file like https://multiup.io/en/mirror/meowmeowmeow you'll sometimes be redirected to an ad page.

getting the UseNet.nl fake download again, adding multiup.io,multiup.org,multiup.eu##div:has(> .panel-featured-success.panel-featured-bottom.panel-featured-top.panel.text-center [alt="UseNet.nl"]) fixes
