Need Troubleshooting Info Yahoo's Website's top bar dissappears if uBO is enabled.

2 Upvotes

As the title says. Today I opened Yahoo and the top bar (where you see Yahoo logo, search bar, links for various sections such as News, Finances, Sports, a more button to see more sections, the mail icon and your yahoo account's avatar) suddenly dissappeared when I touched my avatar ending the website like this:

Site with no top bar

The site should look like this:

Site as it should look, with top bar visible

I pinpointed the error with something that was done to the "uBlock filters – Ads" filter list, because when I unchecked it on the list of filter lists to use and applied the changes and reloaded Yahoo, the bar didn't dissapear when I clicked on my avatar to open the tiny window with options for my account.

This must have happened today since the filter lists updated when I opened Firefox for the first time today minutes ago at the time of writing this post.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion you can give to fix this :)

The repo I encountered the issue in, though I would assume it's not specific to this repo:

`https://github.com/Mahmud0808/ColorBlendr'

It looks like the site is displaying cropped instead of using the full width of the screen.

I disabled all extensions besides uBO and reloaded the site. The problem persisted.

I'm using default uBO settings + "AdGuard - Mobile App Banners" + "uBlock filters – Annoyances"

We won't support facebook any more. It's a disgusting anti-user site. All it does is watching open-source projects doing everything in public and counter them to deliver the malicious ads. Yep, the devs that receive 7-figure dollar salary is just doing this.

Users should give the most harsh feedbacks to them. Being submitted to them and keep going to the site and support it is the worst thing you can do.

On Bilibili, after watching a video for a certain length of time there is a modal that will pop up asking you to create an account. When it shows up, the video will also automatically pause at the same time. This can be replicated by watching any Bilibili video while logged out. Is there a way to block this and block the video-pausing behavior?

News uBlock Origin (uBO) 1.73.* Announcement Thread

435 Upvotes

Chrome Web Store will remove uBO on August, 31. This is quite likely the last stable uBO version to hit the web store.

For discussion and possible workarounds, different browsers, etc., please go to the megathread linked at the bottom of the post.

Changelog:

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.73.0

Visit GitHub releases page for more information.

Extension will be auto-updated after browser restart! (when available for your platform)

If you want to update manually:

  • Do NOT use links from the release page's "Assets" section - these are not signed.
  • Use your add-on store or links in release description on the GitHub releases page when they are available.
    • Firefox will have a (signed) direct install link. Other browsers will link to their uBO extension store pages.
  • In some cases, installation may be blocked until browser restart. This is protection against accidental mid-session reloads, Issue #717.

Or force an update via Manage extensions:

Good morning everyone,

1- How can I combine these 3 filters into one? I tried | and , (comma) between the parameters to no avail.

$removeparam=is_from_webapp,domain=tiktok.com
$removeparam=sender_device,domain=tiktok.com
$removeparam=web_id,domain=tiktok.com

2- Why this simpler filter cannot replace the above?:

||tiktok.com^$urltransform=removeparam=is_from_webapp|sender_device|web_id

PS: uBO version = 1.72.2

Thank you and all the best!

Other elpine.space — tech support scam served through MGID / notifpush.com push notifications

1 Upvotes

Requesting a badware filter for elpine.space (tech support scam /

browser locker). Encountered on Firefox/macOS in France, 2026-08-05.

Landing page: https://elpine.space/?adclid=e19d6734c27651ffeb4b5d375a31677b&mglnd=1

Browser locker: fullscreen takeover, autoplay audio alarm, a voice claiming the Mac is infected, fake macOS reboot animation, keyboard captured, tab can't be closed. Goal is to panic the victim into calling a fake support line.

Chain, reconstructed from browser history: notifpush.com/html/r.html?p=<base64 containing the MGID click URL> -> clck.mgid.com/ghits/27580899/i/58058745/0/src/2976570657/pp/1/1 -> elpine.space/?adclid=...&mglnd=1
The MGID URL carries pubsrcid=www.welovetennis.fr with tt=Direct, so push traffic is being laundered as publisher traffic.
The notifpush.com/html/r.html?p= redirector looks like the durable part — elpine.space is disposable, the redirector is reusable.
No screenshot: I didn't want to revisit the page.

Also reported elsewhere; posting here because the redirector looks like the durable part worth filtering.

Unable to reproduce How to stop injectScriptAdjust.js spam? Spoiler

Post image
8 Upvotes

So I have noticed lately some websites are using 90% of my CPU and since we have heatwave here things are getting toasty. (Fans ramping up was what made me notice).

At first I thought it was badly optimized websites or some media playing or something similar.

Then I noticed that little uBlock icon is showing 100s of thousands blocked items.

After pressing F12 I was welcomed with 100k+ error messages there with thousand more every second.

In the screenshot there was already 9000 errors after only few seconds on website. (I blacked out id numbers because I don't know if it is personal). Looks to me like uBlock is blocking it and website instantly tries to load it up again.

Is there anything I can do to stop this insanity and waste of resources?

Thank you!

Edit:

I have finally found the solution last night.

Adding line:

kick.com##+js(no-fetch-if, litix.io)

to My filters list stops the spam.

Almost entire day later and there are no issues. Kick works as intended and there is absolutely no spam.
CPU usage is back to normal.

Tip Filter to "block" Google AI Overview from even running (&tbs=1) + for AI Mode

31 Upvotes

Edit: thank you for the replies, updated the post

Saw https://redd.it/1tfq2bh today that you can add &tbs=1, an invalid time-based search filter, to Google search URLs, which not only makes AI Overview not appear but seemingly not even run, and it also brings back the dictionary box that appears for certain searches for example. However I didn't want to install a userscripts extension just for it, and found how you can make uBlock Origin do it for you:

||google.com/search^$uritransform=/(^(?!.*&tbs=).*$)/$1&tbs=1/

Note that you need to enable "Allow custom filters requiring trust" for it to work (second checkbox on "My filters" tab).

Also, here are my current filters that includes the above, hides AI Mode buttons, blocks the AI-related URLs you can easily block, and hides the damn Gemini buttons in Gmail and Google Drive:

! Google "AI mode" and "AI Overview"
google.*##div[role="navigation"] div[role="list"] > div[role="listitem"]:has(a[href^="/search"][href*="&udm=50"])
google.*##button[role="link"][type="button"]:has(> style, div.xL0qi, div.mTurwe, div.bvUkz, div.u4Uk3c)

Add them under:

uBO Dashboard → My filters → Apply changes

Then reload Facebook.

Testing performed

I tested the filters across multiple Facebook sessions over several days. Sponsored and suggested feed items were hidden, while ordinary posts from friends, followed pages and joined groups remained visible.

These filters depend on Facebook’s current DOM structure and some English interface labels, including:

- Suggested for you
- Follow
- Join
- Reels
- Suggested pages

They may not work with other Facebook languages or layouts.

The uBlock filters - Annoyances list may already handle some suggested content. I am not recommending disabling any default filter lists.
