For as long as The Verge's new site has existed, I've noticed that the extension doesn't censor any words in the comment section. It's the only site I know that has this issue.

Thanks for reporting the issue @Glodigit. I took a quick look at it, and it appears they are using the ShadowDom for their comments section. Could you try turning on "Deep" mode for The Verge?

Glodigit commented 3 months ago

I've done some testing and it seems that this is the solution, but to get it to work I also had to:

Turn of Ublock Origin
Confirm choices for a cookies popup that now appeared
Turn on Ublock Origin

I also tested "normal" mode after this to see if it was Ublock the entire time but nothing was filtered:

@Glodigit Thanks for sharing what worked for you. Like I said, based off of how they built their page (especially the comments), it will need to have Deep mode selected to work.

That's really interesting about uBlock Origin though, I'll have to see if I can replicate it on my end. Thanks for reporting it!
