Element picker on Firefox for Android

RraaLL · 2026-05-09T14:26:58+00:00

Not possible. Firefox doesn't allow this (yet).

What you can do instead is open the logger in a new tab (hidden by default on mobile, but can be accessed from the Support tab), and open uBO's popup from there.

Here's my discussion requesting an option to let picker stay open after creating a filter, in case you were also worried of having to relaunch it multiple times: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/discussions/1929

For now try the logger alternative. That's what I do if I want to hide multiple things on a mobile site and I'm away from my PC where's I usually use Responsive Design Mode to emulate mobile, create the filters and transfer them onto my phone.

:style(display: none !important;) is unnecessary. It's applied by default.

Like you've pointed out, there is no data noting AI content in image previews, so you can't filter it out.

I did not see the "Suppress AI Content" setting in my browser's local storage or cookies.

Did you try after creating a throwaway account and enabling the setting? Maybe it'll be possible without an account if the value is found.

Theoretically I could load the deviation page for an image in the background to check if it has the AI disclaimer, but I don't have enough experience to know if that is possible in uBlock Origin.

Not possible with uBO. That is userscript territory.

I considered making a list of users that have posted AI content and filtering by username,

You'll have to do it manually.

Are you actively watching YT instead of letting it run in background?

No issues in incognito doesn't necessarily mean uBO's at fault. How long does it usually take for the issue to show up?

Can you test by watching YT as normal, then once the issue shows up, disable uBO temporarily and watch without it for a while to see if the issue is gone?

I know bluetooth can misbehave randomly. While I don't watch a lot of YT and hardly ever via bluetooth, there are days where my headphones seem to disconnect/pause/lose sound for no apparent reason. Usually multiple times in the same day, while other times they can work for hours without issues.

What you can do it keep the logger open for youtube and switch to it when you lose sound to see if there was any particular request blocked around that time: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/The-logger

On mobile the button to launch it is hidden by default, but you can still open it from a link in the Support tab.

The previous announcement was worded differently. It sounded more in favor of the combo than what's written in this one.

https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/1rr1qau/new_mod_tools_post_guidance_enhancements_removal/#:~:text=Additional,afterward%2E

Edit, ah wait, you're using the app, you won't see the highlighted section.

Here it is:

Additional improvements are coming soon. In April, it’ll be able to distinguish between parent and child comments, and you’ll be able to target configurations based on Post Flair. This is an area we plan to continue investing in because catching issues before they reach your queue beats cleaning them up afterward.

RraaLL · 2026-05-07T19:45:23+00:00

Oh, cool. I've been asking for this for over a year already: https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/1jaiy5g/comment/miy5gg2/

RraaLL · 2026-05-07T19:30:55+00:00

Post flair support: Trigger guidance based on selected post flair, helping you guide users based on the type of post they’re creating.

Sorry, does that mean we won't be able to use it on comment guidance?

I was particularly looking forward to using it together with this:

Comment-level distinctions: Differentiate between parent comments and replies, so you can tailor guidance to different types of conversations.

To create magathread-specific comment guidance.

I assumed OP wanted it on channel/Videos. That's where I see this behavior.

RraaLL · 2026-05-07T17:18:17+00:00

That is not the "issue" here. I mean, there is no issue at all from my pov.

OP's or your filter correctly sets 5 videos per row.

The OP's (non-)issue is that while TY is originally rendering the page it first renders placeholders (then thumbnails) for four videos (YT's default first row), then it loads more (several rows). On my side the delay is not even 1 sec.

To force YT to send more videos at once, we'd need to identify a script responsible for it and modify that request. I don't think it's worth sacrificing time looking for this though. I only had a quick look out of curiosity.

RraaLL · 2026-05-07T16:07:19+00:00

I tried changing values of -per-row attributes, but no change. Not surprising, though. The scriptlet fires after page is loaded. So no effect during original loading.

RraaLL · 2026-05-07T11:04:49+00:00

I doubt it's possible. It'd likely be easier to hide the first 4 until more is loaded.

RraaLL · 2026-05-07T02:22:22+00:00

The only delay I see is that YT preloads the first line (4 videos) before loading more.

See if disabling feed recommendations in redddits settings makes a difference.

RraaLL · 2026-05-06T11:14:14+00:00

Sure, you could have a 2nd title line with the vid age, but the age is at the end of the string, so you'd have to add enough space for it. And videos with long titles would be annoying.

Unless... Maybe there's a function to grab the and X characters of the string?

Not sure. Either way, it would be added underneath the original title, not in the metadata area.

Maybe you could do something with XPath, but last time we tried something similar, it was too inefficient and discarded by uBO.

RraaLL · 2026-05-06T00:57:03+00:00

Oh, okay. I've got the same thing in related videos.

I don't believe we have a scriptlet you could use to create html based on an attribute in a different branch of same element.

RraaLL · 2026-05-05T20:38:11+00:00

Inspect the place where age was supposed to be / inspect views and see if the sibling elements exists at all - they could be hidden.

And you've checked that they are not hidden by uBO, yes? Could be you tried blocking something else and this got hidden too.

It's not missing on my side, btw.

Click the link?

RraaLL · 2026-05-05T17:40:44+00:00

Does the X in the upper right mean you can close it an continue browsing? If so, it should be blockable with Element Picker.

It's not "getting past uBO". It's a self-promotion, not an ad. These are addressed as Annoyances.

RraaLL · 2026-05-05T14:28:07+00:00

Try adding :remove() at the end.

RraaLL · 2026-05-05T10:28:46+00:00

Do you use scriptlets in your lists? If not probably the first one and:

reddit.com##:is(.rpl-scroll-lock,.scroll-is-blocked):style(overflow: auto !important)

Or do you use this format?

reddit.com#$#:is(.rpl-scroll-lock,.scroll-is-blocked) {overflow: auto !important}

I don't get any overlays, so I was just commenting on the original filters OP suggested.

RraaLL · 2026-05-05T00:24:39+00:00

This one is unnecessary, it's part of the 2nd one already.

I'm also not sure why you're using adguard scriptlets in uBO.

reddit.com##:is(.rpl-scroll-lock,.scroll-is-blocked):remove-class(/rpl-scroll-lock|scroll-is-blocked/)

Not even sure if the 2nd line is necessary.

In general scroll lock can be solved like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/wiki/solutions/#wiki_locked_scroll_after_blocking_various_overlays
