So with how GitHub changed the way the max limit is shown, they also accidentally made it impossible to close an issue that has reached the max limit. smh Looks like I must delete one randomly picked comment in the old thread in order to close it. A dictionary case of poor design. |

(¿) Don't works these buttons at all (?):
also possible test closes #63 / close #63 in random commit. At end maybe Github Actions if you prefere mark as not planned/won't fix: # pseudocode
var reason;
reason = "not_planned"
github.rest.issues.update({
owner: context.repo.owner,
repo: context.repo.repo,
issue_number: context.issue.number,
state: "closed",
state_reason: reason

Ok, so this is a reply from a uBlock guy, he provided this filter:
But is shows a black bar within the word. He also mentioned the following: "This is proof of concept - color is not adjusted to exactly match the text. I checked it on few articles, even have it in My filters now, and I'm subscribing GH RSS feed. There are more tricks like this. You can change text color to color of the background in I believe it's also possible to reduce the height of the parent element to hide the last line behind the bottom edge." But i have no idea how to approach this :( |

Oh you mean like: ghacks.net##.user-content.dont-break-out:style(visibility: hidden !important;)
ghacks.net##.user-content.dont-break-out > *:style(visibility: visible !important;)Yeah, it seems to work too. I had always thought that if the parent element was hidden you wouldn't see the child elements no matter what, so I had never tried that. I think I got the old filters I had from someone on Reddit in 2021. |

Apparently it turns out GitLab can show users as being site-wide banned by GitLab, as opposed to simply "This page doesn't exist" as GitHub does. I learned this through the very, very unfortunate banning GitLab made of https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234, the guy who've made Bypass Paywalls Clean Filter.

Apparently someone have managed to dug up a severe glitch in AdGuard Browser Extension for Firefox (PC), where lists simply refuse to turn on, and even the default lists turn themselves off; remarkably also leading to the extension claiming "We've turned on the regional list for you" every time a major Norwegian site is loaded. I give the person who made this recording full anonymity unless the person takes the problem to https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardBrowserExtension/issues, but here's the footage, at least: aeiou.mov |

As if I hadn't already given up 100% on handling So, and this is a big, big begging of me to the entire adblocker community: If anything needs to be handled, ANYTHING, on those 2 sites at any point in the future, please tell Team AdGuard and uAssets to fix it instead. And I will not allow those teams to simply say "This must be fixed in a regional list, lol, lmao". They're the one who must fix that. There's nothing left in my soul of the energic youthful hopeful newcomer I once was back in 2018. |

(Clarification after I thought about 7 possible outcomes of all of this: While reports should most dearly be sent to those list-teams, they can forward the reports to me if they have come up with the exact fixes they want me to add.

Turns out that the same trick is required for uBO to properly recompile any filter, it would seem (short of purging all caches, of course)..
So, bug 2 and 3 (which I mentioned in this post: #779 (reply in thread) ) is basically the same bug (@gorhill): |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

|
For simplicity, I suppose the bug would be more suited to be reported at https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues at this point in order to make it a more long-term topic there. Even if submitting reports to uBlock-issues (and as a sidenote also uAssets) tend to have pretty steep requirements; I myself have to test significant bugs in Vivaldi rather than my extensive Chrome MV2-era setup before submissions. |

I've noticed to my surprise that ABP's MV3 lists are rendered on their servers in standard format, as opposed to the odd JSON format that MV3 require: https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/v3/full/dandelion_sprouts_nordic_filters+easylist.txt On the other hand, the change date listed in it, 20th of May (6 days ago when I wrote this), is much more concerning to me. I'll certainly keep an eye on whether they'd end up deploying those list versions by default on Firefox or even retroactively for ABP 3.x, in which case I'll admit I wouldn't be particularly happy about it. |

I've noticed from a mostly unrelated E-mail tip that https://github.com/brave/adblock-resources/blob/master/filter_lists/list_catalog.json does not show AdGuard Base Filter as an opt-out or opt-in list. Are there any particular reasons for it? I'd understand it if it's a factor that it's unclear which list version Team Brave would want to use for Brave Shield (There's versions of Base Filter specifically for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Browser Extension, etc., as well as "Optimized" list versions for all or almost all of those devices), and that Team AdGuard may not have it thought it through when they decided to stop generating versions of "Base Filter without EasyList" for all products except uBO; https://filters.adtidy.org/extension/ublock/filters/2_without_easylist.txt works, whereas https://filters.adtidy.org/windows/filters/2_without_easylist.txt worked in the early 2020's but nowadays doesn't. I'm at least hoping the situation isn't just a conflict-of-interest somewhere between Brave/AdGuard/EasyList/others, but I've become very curious about possible reasons, no matter what the reasons would turn out to be. I admit I could've just asked about it at https://github.com/brave/adblock-resources/issues since no reports or PR there have mentioned Base Filter before, but I'd be in a very bad position without a "without EasyList" list version that could in any way be adapted directly from AdGuard→Brave instead of AdGuard→uBO→Brave or something along those lines. |
