Add a list for cookies warnings

[SampeiNihira]

UBO Lite v.0.1.22.9305
Extended filtering enabled.

Please add rules for cookies warnings.
The list "AdGuard Cookie Notices filter"

https://filters.adtidy.org/windows/filters/18.txt

at least in UBO, resolves almost all the notices attached in the screenshots.

Also the list for I dont care about cookies, Easylist cookie, and also a few of the lists for social stuff.

The list "AdGuard Cookie Notices filter"

I would probably go with EasyList Cookie which is already a stock filter list in uBO.

However at this point uBOL does not supports generic cosmetic filtering, and EasyList Cookie has nearly 17K of generic cosmetic filters, so it won't be very useful until (and if) generic cosmetic filters are supported.

Also the list for

MV3 limits the number of enabled rulesets at 10, so including more than one list for cookies won't work. For those who want more than what can be achieved with the MV3 limitations, uBOL is not for them.

[SampeiNihira]

EasyList Cookie is an obsolete list (2020) and does not update.
Even in UBO it would have to be replaced with the list I recommended.

[gorhill]

It certainly is not obsolete, it last updated today:

EasyList server has had issue recently, maybe these are still is ongoing. Try downloading the one at https://secure.fanboy.co.nz/.

Also, be sure your own uBO configuration is not causing the fetch to fail -- use the logger with the All entry selected.

[SampeiNihira]

You are right,there is a heavy storm here,I had network problems.
ELC (41146).
But it has more rules than AG (22309).

[Yuki2718]

MV3 limits the number of enabled rulesets at 10, so including more than one list for cookies won't work.

That is for enabled rulesets so as long as there's a room to the total rulesets limit (50), including AG Cookie and let user to choose which one to enable should be possible. But I guess you wanna realize the idea of simple filter selection discussed in past e.g. just choosing "Cookie" category automatically enables ELC.

(As a side note, AGC relies less on generic cosmetic filters.)

[krystian3w]

Hopefully activating the community-wide list ELC by default will force a better fix for bugged heritage filters (faster than 60 days to investigate).

[Gandalf-The-Wise]

Any news on this issue, will a list be implemented?

[gorhill]

Declining for now, I may re-evaluate in the future as the MV3 API mature. Making Easylist Cookies available led to undue delay when changing filtering mode, due to some unidentified performance issue with scripting.registerContentScripts() (as can be seen in the browser's task manager).

Probably best for now to rely on a specialized extension for the task of dealing with cookie warnings.

The element has an inline style, though I am pretty sure this was working before (time passes, might be wrong), it seems Chromium may have changed its implementation of CSS layer such that inline style is back to having precedence to the CSS layer injected by uBO.

The proper solution for uBO (to stay entirely declarative) is Proposal: Declarative Cosmetic Rules.

[SampeiNihira]

I note that this functionality has been implemented.
My compliments.

It is still required to consider user input of custom rules (consent/block) that can solve some problematic websites.

Which are not solved only by the default filter lists.
I can give examples,even if they are adult content websites.

[gorhill]

user input of custom rules

That won't be part of uBO Lite, otherwise it's not going to be Lite anymore. For this sort of functionality, that is uBO itself. There is no point using the Lite version if you want everything uBO itself already has.

[SampeiNihira]

Is it possible to at least consider some exceptions to the default filters?

Even with uBlock Origin it is quite difficult for the average user to resolve some problematic websites with cookie consent.

[gorhill]

some exceptions to the default filters

What does that mean in practice? Not sure I understand what you mean by "exceptions" concretely.

[krystian3w]

That won't be part of uBO Lite, otherwise it's not going to be Lite anymore. For this sort of functionality, that is uBO itself. There is no point using the Lite version if you want everything uBO itself already has.

But chrome will eventually say basta to MV2 and uBo will end for it if only in e.g. 2030 as they will find that 2/3 of MV2 postlats will no longer be able to be implemented in MV3 anyway.

I doubt that then suddenly 90% of Chrome users will jump to Brave/Vivalidi/Opera or Firefox in e.g. 2030 even if you write from 200 tweets about migration.

With full filtering no cookie warning but missing sidebar on right to scroll down the page:

With optimal filtering there is cookie warning you can reject cookies and then the website is fully usable:

[krystian3w]

We have file to repair bugs specific for uBo Lite only:

https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/blob/master/filters/ubol-filters.txt

So stock bugs can be addressed their.

[gorhill]

I get the same issue in uBO, it's a filter issue, and should be reported like any other filter issue in uBO.

I can put this rule in UBO.
Will I never be able to put it in uBlock Origin Lite?

Keep in mind that there will always be websites with similar problems.
Do you want another example where the full UBO Lite filter doesn't stop cookie consent?

P.S.
Always for filter problems,but it is impractical to always report an inconvenience to the maintainers.................

[Yuki2718]

If less people report, lists don't improve and will cause more problems. User with an ability to fix problems simply should report, which is a trivial contribution virtually everyone can do.

[SampeiNihira]

Trivial?
See how trivial it is to report.

AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters#152486

Many users let it go,and they do well.

[SampeiNihira]

Try this website that I have already reported:

https://www.xvideos.com/

[Yuki2718]

Very trivial compared to that list authors, many of them being volunteers and having real job and life, spend hours nealy everyday for others' sake. XV cookie notice is geo-dependent and I don't have issue even with Italian VPN. Uh, the issue rather is on XH and I can reproduce scrolling problem and fixed. There are occasionally such cases reproducing issue is not easy and what you can do then is to help the maintainer to diagnose the issue.

[krystian3w]

≈If uBo Lite never gets a field for custom rules or filters lists then probably Chrome (Not Brave/Vivaldi/Opera) users in ≈2030 will be gobbled up by AdGuard MV3 or they will fall back on AdBlock/Adblock Plus if porting uBO MV2 will continue to be impossible.
