Description

WITHOUT MY CUSTOM LISTS, there are occasionally ads once you are in the queue of a game you're trying to play.

WITH MY OWN LISTS, there is also an "adblocker detected" popup, as it appears that the page is detecting that simulmedia-apis.com is being blocked. Nevermind, this appears to be due to Microsoft Edge's Strict Tracking Prevention setting and is unrelated to uBlock Origin's lists (however after Googling simumedia-apis, it appears it is an advertising platform — is it possible for this to be blocked and to evade the adblocker detected popup?).

It looks like it works! No ads seem to appear on my end after applying the filter.
