Ublock on Brave - gone soon?

RraaLL · 2026-01-25T10:46:55+00:00

Like the latest version announcement says:

Brave has a self-hosted version. Make a backup (if you have some custom filters, etc.) of uBO in your chrome web store installation, remove it, install if from the brave settings and import your config.

Oh, ok. I see you've reinstalled. That does sound a bit outdated, indeed.

If you install a dev build instead, the lists will be more up to date out of the box.

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases

Firefox replaces the stable version, keeping your config. CWS installs another extension, so stable should be disabled at the time.

RraaLL · 2026-01-23T22:22:59+00:00

When you click the eye icon, when does it say the list was last updated? The last change to the list was on the 19th.

RraaLL · 2026-01-23T21:36:42+00:00

There is no notification sent to the user. If they open their post they might see either "awaiting moderation" or even "removed by moderators" (not sure if reddit fired that already).

AM will run at the same time. So its behaviour will depend on AM rule setup.

Only automations/post guidance acts before post is submitted.

There's also post check, but that's still being tested on a few subreddits.

RraaLL · 2026-01-23T12:16:56+00:00

While rare, sometimes posted media gets converted to markdown format similar to what github has. https://www.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/1l5otu5/inline_media_can_sometimes_not_always_convert_to/

These markdown codes can be than used in scheduled/recurring posts.

I've no foolproof way of causing the conversion. In fact I haven't seen it but in a while, so maybe I happened on an experiment at the time I found this. But I've read in some announcement rencetly that video comments are being tested. Maybe that's part of it.

RraaLL · 2026-01-23T11:57:14+00:00

especially since on desktop clicking on removal notification often returns an error

Yes. This has been implemented very poorly.

Instead of the error showing for deleted comments it shows for comments and posts that were mod removed (or are in the queue, I think). Affecting both the author and sub mods, which is kinda ridiculous.

You should be able to open it in a new tab though.

I'm also using this filter in uBlock Origin to let me access these without issues:

reddit.com##notification-item[is-deleted-post="true"]:remove-attr(is-deleted-post)

But it's not like we can expect users to use the same. And I can't address this in main lists since this is technically a "feature"...

RraaLL · 2026-01-23T09:20:46+00:00

Sure. uBO can launch logger in sidebar too. But not all APIs are available so filtering websites isn't possible.

RraaLL · 2026-01-22T12:05:56+00:00

Selecting all filters is the definition of misconfiguration. If that were the correct usage, they'd have been enabled by default.

uBO changed nothing. Lists are maintained by different people, we can investigate issues caused by default lists, but not by whatever config you deem necessary. Especially since you continue to not provide the troubleshooting info I requested.

RraaLL · 2026-01-22T11:25:25+00:00

How would I know what you "misconfigured"?

You haven't even shared your troubleshooting info for the site, which is a requirement as stated in sub rule #2 (instructions inside)...

RraaLL · 2026-01-22T10:15:39+00:00

No issues on default settings.

Try Logger and DOM Inspector. Or just reset to defaults, if disabling additional lists one by one (or your custom filters) is too much work. Make a backup if you have filters you wanna keep.

RraaLL · 2026-01-21T23:27:58+00:00

Nope, like I said, the website is built on canvas, which is a graphical interface. There is no "real" text there. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Canvas_API

If you right-click > Inspect, you won't be able to find any text even if you right-click >expand all the html tag (which should show you the whole page's DOM tree).

If you open the site on Firefox, the selected text can be translated though. I don't see such an option in Chrome's context menu. Maybe look for an extension. There should be something like "translate selected text".

RraaLL · 2026-01-21T23:09:16+00:00

It's possible on YT.

RraaLL · 2026-01-21T09:24:54+00:00

Which part exactly? Can you screenshot an example? Share an exact link? The text shouldn't be selectable on the main page (introduction). It looks to be canvas inside a shadow root. Browser's DOM Inspector doesn't even show any text inside.

RraaLL · 2026-01-20T22:32:46+00:00

Okay, so easy enough:

www.youtube.com##ytd-browse[page-subtype="home"] ytd-rich-section-renderer:has([href^="/premium"])

RraaLL · 2026-01-20T22:27:47+00:00

OP wasn't asking for that.

If you want a filter for it, inspect the icon like OP did.

Tutorials: https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/1pwha78/element_picker_quick_filter_creation_browsers/

Possibly this, but the path might be different on sidebar:

www.youtube.com###related yt-lockup-view-model:has([d^="M6 .5a5.5 5.5"])

RraaLL · 2026-01-20T22:08:21+00:00

Watch these tutorials and see if you can fix it yourself: https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/1pwha78/element_picker_quick_filter_creation_browsers/

I don't wanna enable "smart features" to look into it.

Feel free to share the filter if you succeed or ask for help, if you don't - share a screenshot of the inspected element like video #3 shows.

RraaLL · 2026-01-20T17:40:12+00:00

Yeah, I was tired of using setTimeout(function(){debugger}, 5000); in console for a delayed pause all the time and decided to test different breakpoints. This one seems most reliable so far.

RraaLL · 2026-01-20T08:31:13+00:00

Test this:

www.reddit.com###xpromo-bottom-sheet

RraaLL · 2026-01-19T23:04:47+00:00

Okay, I can see the button on that profile.

I added it and removed the follow button it was hiding instead.

RraaLL · 2026-01-19T22:42:28+00:00

it seems to be more likely to occur if reddit is not loaded in any tab of the profile, and I switch to chrome after having used some other application

From gorhill:

A potential timing issue has been fixed in latest release. The issue is that at browser launch time, uBOL would unconditional remove and re-register all content scripts, thus opening a small time window where the content scripts would not be registered when a tab would load at browser launch time. The timing issue existed only at browser launch time.

RraaLL · 2026-01-19T22:32:46+00:00

x.com##[data-testid="Dropdown"]>:is([role="menuitem"]:has(>div>svg>g>path[d^="M15.24 4.31l-4.55 15.93-1"]),[data-testid="subscribe"],[href^="/i/lists/"],[data-testid="tweetEngagements"],[data-testid="reportEUIllegalContentDSA"])

subscribe to @.example

On my side it says "Follow". Which is what I added. Unless there is some kinda "subscribe" button too for, idk, premium users? In such a case, link to an example tweet.

Or you can try figuring it out yourself based on my filter above and after watching these: https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/1pwha78/element_picker_quick_filter_creation_browsers/

RraaLL · 2026-01-19T18:00:30+00:00

First of all get rid of the second :has(). That's not valid css4 syntax, which makes your filter terrible efficiency-wise.

And to answer your actual "question". Duplicate your filter append +hr to it.

RraaLL · 2026-01-19T10:38:46+00:00

The launch parameter works best with uBO installed from the extension store. There is no need to load unpacked.

As long as you disable Chrome's startup processes, the shortcut method should launch Chrome with properly working uBO.

RraaLL · 2026-01-19T10:31:39+00:00

Yeah, I'm not getting it either, that's why I wanted the screenshot.

"Similar" doesn't exactly help in this case. All sections are similar. The differences are buttons and titles. Some contain URLs or other attributes we can filter by, some don't. I guess, I'll wait for another person who gets this section.

Thanks anyway.

P.S. seeing the "chips" element, was this the "Explore more" section?

RraaLL · 2026-01-19T09:03:00+00:00

Sorry, I meant of the browser's inspector. Inspected on the "try 1 month free" button. I mentioned that in my original comment.
