[QUOTE="PotentialUser, post: 889765, member: 87776"] I followed your instructions and have played around with uBlock Origin in Hard Mode on both Microsoft Edge Chromium and Mozilla Firefox. I installed the Chrome Webstore extention on Edge Chromium, [B]not[/B] the one from the Microsoft Edge Store as that one isn't created by gorhill himself AFAIK. I found something odd. Websites seemed to break more on Mozilla Firefox instead of Edge Chromium. I looked into this and realized certain blocked domains on Mozilla Firefox weren't even present on Edge Chromium. Edge Chromium didn't even list them as loading up on the webpage. And those specific domains were the ones that were blocked by default (and caused websites to break) in Hard Mode on Mozilla Firefox. So since they don't seem to show up on on uBO in Edge Chromium, I can only conclude the addon operates differently and [B][U]simply allows them through[/U][/B] without notifying the user. Whereas in Mozilla Firefox, those domains are noticed, automatically blocked (as they should be in Hard Mode), and then I have to manually unblock them on a per site basis. Here is an example with oldschool.runescape.com (a popular online game/MMORPG). On [B][U]Mozilla Firefox[/U][/B] (image below) -- the main web domain is runescape.com. But in order for the site to work, you must allow jagex.com (the developer's website) to also load up. Otherwise runescape.com doesn't operate correctly and breaks in some places. By default, uBO will [B]block[/B] jagex.com in Hard Mode since it is a third-party domain. However, once allowed, runescape.com functions normally. That's great and how it should be!

As you can see in the image below, the domain jagex.com [B][U]isn't even shown[/U][/B] as trying to load up. And the website [B][U]doesn't[/U][/B] break at all when visited. This means uBO on Edge Chromium is somehow allowing jagex.com to load without even acknowledging it is there. Why would that be? It should be blocking all third-party domains by default and notifying the user so they can manually unblock them if needed.
