@SelaO does this occur on pages other than Facebook?

SelaO commented 3 years ago

@brandon1024 Not that I noticed

What is your use case for using this extension on Facebook? This extension was built primarily for searching through pages of structured text, like CI pipeline log output or documentation.

My guess is that uBlock is injecting markup into the page and messing with the extension's markup. This extension isn't resilient to dynamic content or externally injected content, simply because this extension wasn't designed to handle such cases.

Closing this for now.
