This is how uBlock origin look on Yandex weather website; entirely blank and cannot access settings.
It was unable to block any ads.

It seems like a compatibility issue with Yandex. Try updating uBlock Origin to the latest version. If the problem persists, consider using a different browser or report the issue to uBlock Origin's support team.

It is the latest version of uBlock origin.
Yes, only this website causes such malfunction; works as usual on the rest of websites.

This could be a site-specific issue. Try manually adding the website to your filter list in uBlock Origin settings. If it doesn't work, report this to the uBlock Origin support team for further assistance.

Add it to uBlock exclusions?

No, not to exclusions. You should add it to the filter list. This will tell uBlock to specifically block ads on the Yandex weather site. If this doesn't work, it's best to contact uBlock support.

There is no such a list; only exclusions list!

Apologies for the confusion. In uBlock Origin, you can create a custom filter. Go to the dashboard, then "My filters" tab, and add the problematic website there. If it doesn't help, contacting uBlock support is the best course of action.
uBlock origin lite has no custom filters; this is true for deprecated uBlock origin.

I see, uBlock Origin Lite has less features compared to the full version. If you're facing issues with a specific site, it's best to report this to the uBlock Origin Lite support team. They might be able to provide a solution or fix the issue in a future update.

The only available option on chrome store, uBlock origin "regular" is deprecated.
uBlock Origin is still available in the Chrome Web Store, but unfortunately it can't be installed on Chrome. There is a trick to installing it. But I can't give you the instructions because it violates the forum rules. But uBlock Origin is still available for EDGE, Brave and Firefox browsers, and MV2 still works on those browsers. :)

I have manually installed uBlock origin in chrome and used it with edge from its addons store; uBlock origin lite is working for all websites, it is the first time to observe instead of blocking ads on website, website blocks its settings 😁

Yes, if you know how to install it manually, even better. uBlock Origin Lite uses MV3, it doesn't have the same control as uBlock Origin and it also supports a limited number of ad blocking lists. Forget about uBlock Origin Lite, there are things that will pass, there are elements that you can't block on the page precisely because of the MV3 change that google implemented and unfortunately it became limited. 😞

I miss mv2 era.

I don't use and have never used the Yandex browser, so I can't tell you if it's a compatibility problem with that browser.
Back to Edge.

Yeah, me too. You had more control when it was MV2, you could block literally anything in the browser. Google claims to have discontinued MV2 for security reasons, limiting how extensions interact with the page according to them. However, many later claimed that it wasn't true at the time, as they live off advertising, so many people doubt this statement by the Google developers.

Yandex services pages like email and weather have uBlock-resistant ads, I have never seen before; even worse than YT.
