Does an "Expired" filter list means it won't be applied anymore? #4056
|
"AdGuard – Popup Overlays" for me was last updated And in fact I seem to be noticing more popup overlays. Is the list now inoperative for me? (I know I can manually update it, but it seems odd that the list can get all the way past expiration and never update. I am on Firefox every day, sometimes most of the day, so there's ample opportunity). |

Filter lists are still functional when "expired". The And make sure you didn't disable automatic updates. |

Thank you for clarifying. Now the issue is how to get this fixed in the list. That it's an AdGuard list seems to complicate the matter. |

To report filter list issues to AdGuard: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters#report-issues |
uBO's mirror documentation / wiki has been updated as well.
A hasty and erroneous conclusion. In the previous link you have received (to uBO's wiki) it's already explained why it happens, the Wiki's part that explains it begins with "Note: As for AdGuard filter lists in uBlock Origin: ..."
Not in this case, as OP is asking about a dfferent thing than a typical website / filter / filter list issue and it's already explained in uBO's documentation. |

Perhaps the link refers to leaks even after updating the AdGuard list and the site has enough visitors (supposedly above 99.9 thousand), smaller ones may not address and only give suggestions on what works when they have time to create a solution without merging it with their project. |

The
Expires:directive defines the update interval for the filter list. The actual update doesn't occur exactly at this time since it is slightly randomized.
