But sometimes it's needed.
So, for me the current option of enabling it only after pressing ctrl two times is great.
Idk if there's any better solution but try to add the following exceptions to "My Rules".
Code:
@@||config-prod.choice.faktor.io/*/faktor.js$script,domain=omroepwest.nl
@@||cmp.choice.faktor.io/dist/*/cmp.bundle.js$script,domain=omroepwest.nl
@@||cw.choice.faktor.io/dist/*/index.html$subdocument,domain=omroepwest.nl
(y)

Make sure you've noop the necessary hostnames if you use medium/hard mode.
Making rules such as these obviates the need for Allow.

Unfortunately, I'm not a good rule-maker. Maybe @Stas and @redsworn or others can post rule-making tips using the logger. That would be helpful to some of us.

BTW: I don't use Firefox so I've been on the sidelines for this discussion.

IMO, allow is okay when being used in Dynamic URL filtering. The problem is people often forgot or even unaware about this and just allowing all request-type to the destination.

Honestly, I'm not an expert myself. I virtually have 0 knowledge about CSS and web components in general. I only learn by doing and reading the docs. So that's why I often have trouble at explaining things aside for being non-native English speaker. :LOL:
But thanks for the suggestion! I will strongly consider it.

OK, on this site I could not get it to display the pictures in FF with uBO hard mode.

Anyone like to take up the challenge? Thanks again

All I allowed was scripts.

That's not a screenshot from Firefox though. The absence of uncloaked CNAMEs is the dead giveaway here.

I find that is the problem on this forum, because another person experience is different
you have persons saying what it can't be or what it must be just cut it out once the person deals with you honest return the same energy on till they give you a solid reason not to.

I also find that it's disingenuous to purposely omit important non-private part of the information out of the screenshot. And for that here I attach screenshots from Firefox and Edge.

I have no clue what your trying to get at, my experience does not match your's so it's
false, that is what you are saying, if that is the case your not observant. Your knowledge is so lacking anyone that use firefox can tell that is firefox without I have to show you. smh
By the way here is uMatrix on the same firefox. smh
So that you would not do what you did to me to others
I now updated ublock on firefox, check last image:

Nope not getting the pictures

There must be something overriding those stackpathcdn noop rules. If noop is applied properly the vertical bars on the left would look like this.

Green means nothing is blocked. Yellow means connections are partially blocked. Meanwhile you got both red which means everything is blocked.
Check the logger to see what's blocking them.

That is what I'm trying to understand from your end. Why i feel the fault is on your end
is because I was using hard mode for a good while check my old posts and you will see
that I don't always encounter cnames in ublock I don't no why. Try saving certain settings to the cloud in ublock then reset ublock download the cloud setting and see what results you get.
Ah it may have to do with what filter lists you are using, that also plays a big part.

Using the below filter lists

It's ok after all only 1 site. Thanks a lot

I can't reproduce it with 2 separated Firefox instance (one portable and the other regular install). I also tried to install uMatrix on the portable one but still same result. I noticed two things from all your screenshots though. They're all missing the uncloaked CNAME. So in essence your FF behaves just like Chromium based browsers.
You also seems to be using beta/dev version of uBO. Maybe it's also a reason for the different behaviour on your end.

As I told you before you are not observant. I made this post near the bottom: uBlock Origin/Nano Adblocker - User Tips, Questions and Issues Thread
In it you will see once again that you are wrong.

The logs are as below. Can see anything blocking?

Thank you (y)
This way you don't have to use any allow rule.
Much better.

For those using Firefox, what do you think of the points given in this and in other threads about filtering certain scripts in order to limit CPU usage?

The issue seems very specific for some sites that use futurecdn script. Other sites are fine. But a good point nonetheless.
