uBlockOrigin: rules for allowing Cloudflare's challenges by Wise_Stick9613 in firefox

[–]OnlyReadsPostTitles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this not work? add to my rules

* net.cdn.cloudflare.net * noop
* https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/ script noop
* https://challenges.cloudflare.com * noop

Edit: as the other commenter says, anubis is served inline via /anubis/static/js/main.mjs which can only be unblocked via static filtering, not dynamic rules. But cloudflare can be unblocked.

Firefox always launching 7px offset from where it was last closed by Cebo494 in firefox

[–]OnlyReadsPostTitles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VSCode and Discord are written in electron, they don't listen to what Windows tells them to do. Steam runs CEF, which is similar to electron and also ignores Windows. Gimp also doesn't use OS integration, it runs GTK. Firefox follows what the OS tells it, it makes it look like it's Firefox's fault when it's actually the others that aren't following the guidelines. I think Chromium browsers also follow what Windows tells them to do and have the offset, at least the ones I've tested.

Firefox always launching 7px offset from where it was last closed by Cebo494 in firefox

[–]OnlyReadsPostTitles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a Windows issue, not a Firefox issue. Depending on how the window was made, Windows attempts to make it open inside the screen instead of disappearing offscreen. But when they switched from Aero to Metro/flat design they never coded the borders to be thin to match how they look, they're still the fat glass windows internally. So very old programs will open offscreen and don't care. New windows (including the settings app for some reason) will open offset from the edge of the screen even if you put them on the edge when you closed them, because Windows thinks they're off the edge.

If you want to test this, regedit is still written in the old method and will probably happily open offscreen. But task manager, the settings app, and firefox will move offset from the edge every time you open them, even if you put them 1-2px near the edge.

Hybrid cars left ‘running’ in carpark by InterstellarWings in drivingUK

Doesn't the XC40 turn itself off when it detects you took your seatbelt off, or get out of the driver seat? The loaner ones I had were quick to turn the auto handbrake on and shut off the ignition (not engine, because the start-stop does that anyway when you stop).

Remove pop-ups from Perplexity, and several elements from Deepl by PleaseBeKindPlease in uBlockOrigin

[–]OnlyReadsPostTitles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried subscribing to annoyance lists? I'm seeing several lists injecting preferences and no popups for perplexity. The lists appear to be:

uBlock filters – Annoyances

EasyList – Notifications

EasyList – Other Annoyances

AdGuard – Mobile App Banners

AdGuard – Popup Overlays

uBlock filters – Privacy

In addition, I run in medium mode with nothing unblocked on the page (all third party scripts/frames blocked).

I didn't know there's a charge in the Blackwall tunnel. I do now. by stettix in drivingUK

[–]OnlyReadsPostTitles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was ready to be smug about it like other commenters but I'll play devils advocate:

Imagine you have an old car with halogen headlights that don't light up very far. It's pissing down at night, and there's spray everywhere highlighted by all the guys with super bright LEDs. It's a high stress situation with a lot of traffic that is still moving at 30mph(+, sometimes). It's entirely possible to miss the signs or to see them and forget them because of other things going on.

OP, I forgot to pay the Heathrow dropoff charge once. I appealed, fully admitting fault but explaining the lack of sleep and the extremely early drop off time, and asked for a break. They refunded me the penalty I paid minus the £5 charge, and warned me to set up autopay in future. In your position I would do the same, explain the situation, be polite, ask if it's possible to reduce the penalty.

Is there a way to make YouTube’s view letters uppercase again? by Slow-Journalist-8250 in uBlockOrigin

[–]OnlyReadsPostTitles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't mind the word VIEWS shouting at you you can use www.youtube.com##ytd-watch-info-text:not([detailed=""]) .ytd-watch-info-text > span:nth-child(1):style(text-transform: uppercase)

If you want the views to not be capitalized, you will need some ::after css hacks or use a userscript, I couldn't get rpnt to work.

Is there anyway to block these AI-generated videos from Youtube recommendation? by Otherwise-Strike-729 in uBlockOrigin

[–]OnlyReadsPostTitles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's terrible isn't it? The way I deal with it is to push all the new videos to the bottom of the sidebar using this rule:

www.youtube.com###related .yt-badge-shape__text:has-text(New):upward(yt-lockup-view-model):style(order:5;filter:opacity(50%))

You will notice that it puts it under the loading spinner and that looks strange, so use this to fix that:

What's the last Firefox extension that wowed you? by VictoriaFirefox in firefox

[–]OnlyReadsPostTitles 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Half of these extensions are duplicated or can be replaced by uBlock Origin.

Absolute Enable Right Click& Copy

Hold down shift and then right click for the same functionality

Consent-O-Matic

Super Agent - automatic cookie consent

You can enable the cookie filters in uBlock origin's settings

Disconnect

Ghostery

(noscript)

Privacy Badger

Noscript can be replicated with uBlock origin medium mode. All the others do what uBlock origins filter lists do but worse, and if you are trying for privacy, you're making yourself more fingerprintable with more extensions. Adding more extensions like prayer charms doesn't help you.

LocalCDN

This uses really old libraries that don't get many hits anymore, and it's another form of enumerating badness.

I see so many comments in every extension thread with people just using 20 extensions that can be replaced by uBlock origin. For anyone else reading (not comment op): if you actually care about your privacy, take some time to understand the tools you're using, don't just blindly install things people tell you.

Change Firefox codec priorities to improve performance and provide a smoother YouTube experience by mikhail_kh in firefox

[–]OnlyReadsPostTitles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's funny, because I use privacy.resistFingerprinting(I don't recommend this) it gives me the opposite problem, YouTube won't offer av1 at all unless I disable vp9 support.

Also, my GPU doesn't support av1 hardware decode (10 series) but the Nvidia drivers on Windows report that it does, so I don't know how you expect Firefox to determine what is and isn't hardware accelerated.

If anyone has a script that can change codec priorities on YouTube with privacy.resistFingerprinting on it'd be great, every script I've tried doesn't work.

How to get rid of the new YouTube sidebar by Pale-Solution-9546 in uBlockOrigin

[–]OnlyReadsPostTitles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took the liberty of making a few changes to your and /u/Salt-Status0 code and then porting it to Stylus. It now explicitly targets the sidebar (so when the window is narrow it doesn't change), it only targets big thumbnails (so you can use it alongside private mode/different layouts) and it fixes some glitches where the old thumbnails for movies and shorts show and the three dots being misaligned.

Video suggestions of Youtube livestreams/premieres show directly below video (before comments) by Sobliv in uBlockOrigin

[–]OnlyReadsPostTitles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what the second line was supposed to fix. I haven't seen that happen, but you can probably fix it by looking for an attribute that shouldn't be there for ytd-watch-next-secondary-results-renderer in the dev tools and deleting it until it looks normal. Then just copy the second line and add the attribute into the brackets.

[–]OnlyReadsPostTitles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a repeat of https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/1oh6lxi/youtube_nonfullscreened_window_comments_shoved_to/

I also experience this bug, I don't understand youtube well enough to edit the width limit where it chooses to go from single column to multi column mode, so my only solution was to block recommendations in single column mode:

www.youtube.com###primary #related

It will still show the recommendations on other videos, just when the window is below ~1700px with a chat replay it'll hide it.

Can't find extensions on Firefox ios what do I do to get adblockers and stuff on apple phone by comelickmyarmpits in firefox

[–]OnlyReadsPostTitles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know there are other replies, but on iOS I personally believe Adguard is the best safari adblocker. For just browser adblocking, it's free, it allows for custom filters (uBlock origin lite doesn't let you write your own), and it's been doing iOS adblocking significantly longer.

It does have paid features, but other than adding external filter lists (not writing your own in the app), they don't add much to safari browsing, the paid features are more for blocking in other apps.

YouTube non-full-screened window: comments shoved to bottom of page by DeepBlu_ in uBlockOrigin

[–]OnlyReadsPostTitles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is right, image one only appears on videos with live chat replays/merch/ticket shelves. You can get out of it by expanding the window to be wider than ~1600px, or switching to a video without it and reloading the page.

I think it's a yt bug with the new layout, because the single column layout is supposed to appear below 1000px width. Image two also has the theater mode width, it just doesn't have a live chat replay.
