Advice Request Cannot block popup in uBo

[n8chavez]

I am confused as hell right now. Disabling Adguard DNS in my Adguard VPN browser extension on Edge makes the popup appear. After enabling AdGuard DNS again it's being blocked. I will just wait for someone else to find a solution for you as all my solutions are only helping in my browser as it seems...

This is where I'm at right now. Is it too early for an old-fashioned???!?

No pop-up or cookie notice using Adguard extension using built-in lists optimized so I guess doesn't apply to OP.

How long can this thread go? To page 3 ... ?

Just switch over to AdGuard extension. The earlier the better. Soon with Manifest v3 it will probably be one of the only options anyway.

You could try AdGuard Annoyances filter (Optimized), probably overkill, but it could help.

Or AdGuard DNS filter:

Than you for these lists. Is the thinking behind using these lists locally in uBo (in addition to NextDNS?) that the former offers cosmetic filtering?

I think we need assitance from @Kees1958

Well, I do have a lifetime license for AdGuard for Windows. But I found it to be much more obtrusive than uBo, and its features half-baked; such as its DNS lock.

Done. I still get the popup.

Actually solution is already on page 2

Probably it is a cosmetic rule, there is no cosmetic filtering on DNS level. ohhhhh. Good call! I hadn't thought about that.

Using ubo picker but got lost in all posts

And the extension? I mean I personally wouldn't switch to another extension just because of a popup, but as I said sooner or later you won't have many alternatives anyway.

Yes, i hope that that the cosmetic rules in one of those filters will block that popup.
But like @SecureKongo said there are people like @Kees1958 and @Jan Willy that know how to write filters so their help would be preferred.

Is that even going to be the case in Firefox, or just Chrome derivatives?

These filters from @ JustinTime do seem to work for me. Can anyone verify? Side note, I think his cousin, JustinCase, tried to sell me insurance.

I don't feel motivated to learn this skill or I'm too lazy. Advanced mode in µBO is as far as I'll go and like @SecureKongo said, it will probably go bye-bye with MV3 though the jury is still out on that proposition.

Chromium only except Mozilla hasn't been entirely clear.

 

[n8chavez]

Thanks everyone for helping me with this! Wilders would never be like this. It sounds like maybe I, and everyone else, need to switch to AdGuard (or a non-browser-based blocking solution) sooner rather than later because of manifest v3. Is that assumption accurate? Also, bonus, I just went up a reputation level because of this thread!

And those are done with the element picker of uBlock Origin:

1.


2.


So you just have to pick the first big window and click "Create" and after that the leftover cross and click "Create" again. This will add the rules you need.

See, I tried that. Only with the element pickers rules there the elements themselves were go but the site itself was still dim, and there was nothing to click on to change that.

For me everything is blocked and the site is crystal clear. But well, you got the rules working for you so it doesn't matter anyway. Just thought it might help you.
