I can't reproduce the issue with your configurations above. Can you force update the filter lists?

[leonborin]

I have forced the filter update

Note that the adblock detection only kicks in after about 20 seconds

[leonborin]

Used the picker to find out

dongknows.com##.chp_ads_blocker_detector-show.fadeInDown.chp_ads_block_modalkbnbu8lukd38wkdoqti5

[stephenhawk8054]

I've waited for 15 minutes but no anti-adblock in the page so far. Are you using any:

• Other extensions,
• DNS blocking methods,
• Other blocking softwares outside browsers

---

Your configuration details above say that the last updates of your filter lists were a few days ago. Have you done it correctly: click "Purge all caches", then click "Update now"

[leonborin]

Perhaps due to other extensions or privacy features

I turned off Edge tracking protection and Bitdefender extension, purge caches and update, so no issues

edit: still doesn't work where click on other article within site. Possible due to some JS

[stephenhawk8054]

Please read carefully the Prerequisites that you have ticked on

• I am not using another content blocker along uBO (also mind browser built-in blockers)

[stephenhawk8054]

Can you test with uBO's default settings? You can test with a new profile of your browser.

[leonborin]

I created a new profile within Edge, making sure only ublock origin is installed (with default filters updated, and nothing else) and removed any other extensions that are added by third party (including Power Automate, Citavi, Bitdefender Anti-tracker)

So the original page https://dongknows.com/asus-rt-ax86s-vs-rt-ax86u/ loads fine without issues, but when middle clicked on one of link for example https://dongknows.com/ubiquiti-amplifi-alien-vs-arris-surfboard-max-pro/

will pop up again this

This is the config on new profile

[stephenhawk8054]

Tks for your report, I can reproduce the issue now. Can you check if adding this works (make sure turning off Edge's built-in protection too)?

@@||dongknows.com^$ghide

[mapx-]

maybe for FF needing

dongknows.com##+js(no-fetch-if, ads)
@@||dongknows.com^$ghide

[leonborin]

Yes adding above 2 filter rules solved the detection

Btw the tracking prevention is off-ed too. (by default is on balanced)

[MasterKia]

What about dongknows.com##+js(set, adsRequest, true)?

[stephenhawk8054]

What about dongknows.com##+js(set, adsRequest, true)?

I still get anti-adblock with it.

[Pentaphon]

@stephenhawk8054 this issue is not fixed. I still get the detection popup after waiting 15 seconds on Firefox 100 with the default uBlock Origin filters that I updated today with the previous fixes from 4e9468b Please confirm.

[Pentaphon]

Thanks, @mapx- that new commit fixed it.

[Pentaphon]

Looks like this issue is back.
