  • Filter issues MUST be reported at filter issue tracker
• This is not a support issue or a question
  • Support issues and questions are handled at /r/uBlockOrigin
• I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue
  • Your issue may already be reported.
• I tried to reproduce the issue when...
  • uBlock Origin is the only extension
  • uBlock Origin with default lists/settings
  • using a new, unmodified browser profile
• I am running the latest version of uBlock Origin
• I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I report is not a normal behavior

Description

This is more of a question than an issue. Is there a way to use multiple sources for userResourcesLocation? I tried to add another line with a different Resource location, but it just replaced it I then added a comma between both and it seemed to save just not sure this method works or not.

Reason: I want to use the nano defender scriptlets as well as uBlock-user's scriptlets at the same time since his filterlist requires this for some filters to work properly.

Your environment

• uBlock Origin version:

• Operating System and version:

This is explained in Nano Defender installation guide:

Note: If you have another User Resources in use, then you would need to either switch to Nano Adblocker or manually merge resources...

[uBlock-user]

Currently, not possible.

ok thanks

[troysjanda]

possible to add to custom filter list on the filterlist tab toward bottom?

You need to copy both files and paste to new gist (for example) and then use this gist raw URL in userResourcesLocation

[uBlock-user]

Merge the contents of both into one and use that one at userResourcesLocation

I did this in gist, what about duplicates? I suppose it will do like the filters and create a single list filtering out dups.

[uBlock-user]

You will have to filter duplicates yourself.

[jspenguin2017]

When two resources have the same name, the one defined later will override previous ones, and the User Resource will override built-in resource.

uBO will create a single resource out of duplicate names, however, it's up to you to decide what to do for different names but duplicate contents.

[troysjanda]

I don't know much about sorting and removing dups ill just leave it combined and if I run into issues ill sort it then. Wish we could use more than one I like Nano Defender and uBlock-user filters but saw the note that some of his filter wont work if not using his Resources as well.

I did try to add his resource to the custom filters on the filter tab and it seem to accept it, however it seemed to only use about 1/2 of the total of scriptlets. Does this mean its working? If so I can use it that way. but I am guessing that the filterlist is looking for it in the AdvanceSettings Resourceslocation and not within the filterlist tab.

Do NOT attempt to load resource file as filters, or you will run into all sort of troubles.

Good Advise, What is the issue with allowing users to add or use multi Resources under advance settings? Dup problems? Something else.

Could it be possible as with adding other lists to a single list. What I mean is for example uBlock-user filterlist can call his scriptlet Resources from within the filterlist, for use with that and only that filterlist. would this be possible? like an include statement

include resource "https://resourcescriptlets.txt"

Again very sorry if not explaining this better.
