Question Ublock Origin Lite odd behaviour

[cc2150dx]

Sometimes when I click a link Chrome downloads a small 17byte file, when I try a second time the website loads. This issue does not exist with UBO, just the lite version. Anyone experiencing this ? Is there a way to contact Raymond Hill (gorhill) directly ?

This seems like a bug in Ublock Origin Lite. Try updating the extension or reinstalling it. If the problem persists, report it to the developers.

Report the issue on the UBO Lite GitHub. Gorhill reads every single report. Every bug report I have submitted, Gorhill has read and fixed the issue himself.

Watch out. On GitHub there are Contributors that are easily annoyed and offended if you do not follow the rules or etiquette. They have a chip on their shoulders and think everyone owes them something because they contribute without pay. gorhill is not one of these sensitive, disgruntled Contributors.

Not sure.

Not sure.

Try to open the file with Notepad.

 

[cc2150dx]

Nothing to show here. Gorhill will figure it out.

 

[lokamoka820]

Not sure.

Try the basic troubleshooting by resetting Google Chrome to it is default settings, or at least clear the browsing cache and reinstall uBlock Origin Lite, I'm not sure if this will fix it, but nothing to lose by trying.

Also make sure to follow the format for submitting an issue, which is described on the GitHub page.

First step is to create a fresh browser profile with µBOL and go to the same page to see results.

That's an issue with Kaspersky Protection add-on for Chrome...

Problemas con Google Chrome al instalar Kaspersky

Buenas, espero que esta sea mi última consulta porque os estaré aburriendo, pero es que menuda racha llevo. Así que os pido perdón de entrada. Hace unos días me di cuenta que cuando hacía una búsqueda en Chrome, al pulsar en algunos enlaces, Chrome me intentaba bajar un archivo en lugar de abrir ...

NSA's retaliation after Kaspersky's revenge installing UltraAV on U.S. users.

Wow, I'm been trying to fix this issue for hours. It works fine in WIndows 10, but not 11 I'm assuming. Thanks for the info I hope there's going to be a fix sometime soon ? I have noticed if I remove the Kaspersky extension it still doesn't work properly ?

 

[harlan4096]

Yes, the issue is in W11, not reproduced in W10...

Quite a few Contributors expect people that have no inclination to do any of the stuff that they demand, to do it. Meanwhile those people just don't do it. It uppity upsets the Contributors and some of them REALLY get bent out of shape.

Most GitHub Contributors have no clue about people. That's why they spend all their free time Contributing in the first place. They don't do well with people.

Today, there is a new Kaspersky Protection add-on version:

Kaspersky Protection - Chrome Web Store

Manage protection right in your browser window

chromewebstore.google.com

And here the issue is already fixed.

Unfortunately I'm still waiting for the fix.

Just uninstall previous KP add-on, and install new one in Your Chrome.

That's the first thing I did when you posted the newest extension. Same result

If you disable Kaspersky extension, will this behavior disappear?

Actually I disabled both Kaspersky and UBOL and same result...really odd.
