I see nothing Can it be adware?
you have to see what programs you installed any
check if you do not have some rare extensions

GetGankNow · 2018-08-31T00:50:36Z

No i don't have any adware or some adware extensions, the ads are from Facebook ( sponsored )

mapx- · 2018-08-31T06:39:27Z

While on a page with ads, right click on page, save as ..., you'll get a folder + html page, zip them together, upload the zip on some free server. Post here the link.

GetGankNow · 2018-08-31T15:33:29Z

Here the page with the sponsored ad: https://ufile.io/y827j

not working bro

mapx- · 2018-09-09T18:21:48Z

weird, working for me (exactly using your test-case)

Did you test the same case you uploaded ? or something new ? could be "they" are using different approaches

shuhaowu · 2018-09-10T00:29:18Z

Doesn't work for me either. I had to use something like this:

facebook.com##[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has([id^=feed_subtitle_]:has-text(SpSonSsoSredS))

However, with this filter active, FB seems to be refreshing the posts in an infinite loop.

filbo · 2018-09-13T00:53:09Z

From about 3mo to about 2wk ago, it was possible to catch Sponsored posts with :has-text(SpSonSsoSredS). This appeared only in Sponsored posts, with the 'S' elements hidden by CSS. (I'm not sure about back then, but now, the hiding CSS uses 'font-size:0', not 'display:none'.)

About 2wk ago, they started putting that stuff into all(*) posts. In Sponsored posts they use CSS to hide the 'S' elements. In 'normal' posts they use CSS to hide all of this. :has-text() is not aware of CSS hiding. The CSS used for this hiding is cryptographically hashed; so far it has remained stable for me, but another user has completely different classes, so the simple selector I use in my own filter won't work for anyone else. So we have to get into runtime evaluation of CSS computed styles :(

[(*)Not really 'all', but all normal posts by users, and many Sponsored posts, although some emitted by other modules inside FB don't use this particular trickery.]

It seems like uBO :matches-css() [see: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Procedural-cosmetic-filters] might be able to handle this. Something like:

facebook.com##[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:if([id^=feed_subtitle_] span:has-text(^Sp$):matches-css(:not(display:none)))

-- which is COMPLETELY UNTESTED, just a pile of syntax smashed together by hand. Not sure if the nested uBO selectors are supported...

And all they need to do to break this is chop the word 'Sponsored' up differently; and it won't work for other UI languages. This is getting ugly.

kowith337 · 2018-09-13T03:27:45Z

Maybe need to view the deep of they DOM tag, e.g. looking in data-ajaxify, data-sigil, data-uri, data-ft, data-xt, ...

for example, I've found some part of sponsored URLs have is_sponsored=1 parameter, sometime it's boxed the parameter like [is_sponsored]=1

wtchangdm · 2018-09-13T08:14:07Z

Hi, I saw the comment in filters so I'd like report here:
I am not sure if is region-related, but the following rule is killing my timeline (using https://www.facebook.com/?sk=h_chr). All of the posts are hidden now.

facebook.com##[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has([id^=feed_subtitle_]:has-text(SpSonSsoSredS))

Thanks.

Yuki2718 · 2023-08-23T16:53:06Z

screen-shot of the HTML structure with the rule hiding the correct video article:

Oh, wait, is this really correct video? If so, my fix should not work. If it worked, it may be only because of FB's random insertion of dummy characters.

zbluebugz · 2023-08-23T17:36:18Z

@Yuki2718 Yes, there's 60 span tags. Only some of them are used to spell out the word "Sponsored".

This HTML structure:
#watch_feed div:not([class]) > div:not([class]) div[class] span[class] > a span[aria-labelledby] > span[style="display: flex;"] > span[class]
is slightly shorter version of your rule, but is picking up the 60 SPAN tags in the post. We can reduce the count by dropping the last part of the HTML structure.

i.e.:
#watch_feed div:not([class]) > div:not([class]) div[class] span[class] > a span[aria-labelledby] > span[style="display: flex;"]
This refinement works well for me.

The above two HTML structures are only found in Sponsored video posts.

u-RraaLL · 2023-08-28T13:16:25Z

Make a backup of your config and restore to defaults then go to "Filter lists" and update them without loading anything from your config.

If it's still broken, we can talk. Otherwise, it's up to you to figure out on your own when you enable bunch of random lists.

These will help: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/The-logger https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/DOM-inspector

stephenhawk8054 · 2023-09-15T04:50:55Z

Looks like we are using many :is filters for facebook. Does anyone see any issues similar to this: uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues#2818 ?

u-RraaLL · 2023-09-15T19:20:01Z

The regression is this :procedural-filter(x) :is(y).

Do we have any filters like that? I think we only had :is before procedurals so they shouldn't be affected.

Yuki2718 · 2023-09-16T13:04:37Z

Do we have any filters like that?

No, the closest will be

##.m[data-type="vscroller"] > :is(.bg-s2, .bg-s3):has(+ :is(.bg-s2, .bg-s3) + :is(.bg-s2, .bg-s3):has(> .m > .m .nb[style*="clip-path:inset(0 0 0 0 round 4px)"] > [style*="margin-top:1px;"][style*="margin-left:1px;"]))

But Japanese filter has

realtime-chart.info#$?#div[id] > [id]:has(> [style^="top:1"]:matches-attr("style"="/top\s*:\s*1\d{3}\.?\d*px/")) + * > [style^="top:1"]:matches-attr("style"="/top\s*:\s*1\d{3}\.?\d*px/") > [style*="font-size:"]:is(b, span, a):not(:has(td > a)) { font-size: 0 !important; pointer-events: none !important; }

macerg · 2023-09-25T07:38:05Z

Sorry if this is a duplicate post. I've had a look through but can't find it.
Is there a way of stopping the 'Suggested For You' posts? I don't have adverts as such.

u-RraaLL · 2023-09-25T15:01:10Z

For mobile? Maybe. If you have the same structure I had recently: https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/wiki/solutions/#wiki_fb_feed_inserts

Yuki2718 · 2023-09-25T15:37:00Z

Hiding Suggested For You can potentially cause very occasional infinite load.

That seems to have done it! Thanks a lot!

KamiyaMinoru · 2023-09-30T10:24:56Z

I use

www.facebook.com##[aria-posinset] div:not(:only-child)>div:only-child>div:only-child>div:first-child[class=""]>div:not([data-0]):has-text(/^Suggested/):upward([aria-posinset])

and modify it to

www.facebook.com##[aria-posinset] div:not(:only-child)>div:only-child>div:only-child>div:first-child[class=""]>div:not([data-0]):has-text(/おすすめ/):upward([aria-posinset])

but it does not work at all.

You're trying to use the desktop solution on mobile. The mobile solution is on the bottom of the code box.

macerg · 2023-10-01T11:12:19Z

Hiding Suggested For You can potentially cause very occasional infinite load.

Is that where you see the blank pages? I get lots of those sometimes.

Hi!
Facebook posts older than 1 day showing only 1 dot instead of the publishing date. How to avoid this?
Turning off uBlock Origin repairs the issue...
Thanks

Also provide the exact URL the issue occurs and your Facebook language settings. I can't reproduce with English (US).

u-RraaLL · 2023-10-15T16:58:21Z

I can't reproduce either. Try making a backup and resetting to defaults to see if the issue shows up on default settings.
Then you can also try disabling your local HUN list after that to see if it doesn't cause this. Are you using Hungarian locale on FB too?

I tested on Magyar with the HUN list enabled and the timestamps are all there. It's all 2 n., 21 ò., which I'm assuming is days and hours, and full dates for longer than a week.

The only difference (that I can tell atm) is that I'm using dark mode, and based on the first reported extended filter, you're using light mode.

palur76 · 2023-10-16T08:29:29Z

OK, I'll try to reset to default, than once turn on the filters. Hope, find what is causing this.

Sorry for the false alarm.
