to @superlex about ADBlocking #23

Hey @superlex, there's a online Android emulator/VM by OnWorks, was on APKOnline.net, but now redirects to their UpToPlay.net, which doesn't load with uBlock's filters (most enabled), the page itself is shit and how they did setup the aspect ratio & rez. of 710x720, which was way better before on their old site, when the OS ver. was A.8, now it's 11, but at least it does the job when I want to test something quickly and don't have to setup anything locally on a 15+ years old low spec hardware, but I have to turn-off uBlock, now I'm not experienced enough, but you seem to be, hence I'm asking for an advice on how can I make it load the emulator somehow, with uBlock enabled ? I'm summoning you like that here, because I don't want to fill Cromite's repo with kind of off-topic comments, sorry if this is not the way you prefer to be contacted (if at all), but GH doesn't have PM/DM system afaik, so here we are...

Thanks in advance btw.

Hello! I don't have issues going to APKOnline, the website don't redirects anywhere, so I don't know how to help you. Moreover, if you have difficulty surfing web using uBO, it's better open a new issue here: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues

drogga commented 6 months ago

I'm currently on Android and this is PWA (I think, which don't work here), but you can try https://www.uptoplay.net/com.aefyr.sai > Play Online > Play Now -> it will be stuck on "Loading..." When loading ApkOnline it doesn't redirect anywhere by itself, but when you go to load the emulator, which can be called by uploading and loading an .apk file from ApkOnline, which will actually lead to the UpToPlay site.

Thanks for the link suggestion tho and apologies for bothering you.

Thank You. It's enough to know that it isn't my configuration that's flawed (lists, etc., being my fault of some sort) and that other are expecting the same, I just needed a confirmation, now I will proceed into creating a issue ticket there.

Hey superlex, do you have the same problem ?: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/23944 There's a problem with the built-in filter lists (not necessarily those that are enabled by default), so I reported, they locked it (this happens for a second time there, the first time was a discussion - now locked) without being resolved, that's why I don't want to create topics or comment much, because there are a lot of geniuses around here that don't understand the matter...

Update: It turns out that it's the AdGuard – Ads list's fault.

drogga commented 2 weeks ago

@Yuki2718 - IDK if it's ok to contact you, especially like this, but can you take a look please ?, because IDK to who to turn to... The AdGuard – Ads is blocking the images and trailer previews in yts.mx, more here: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/23944

The AdGuard – Ads is blocking the images and trailer previews in yts.mx, more here: uBlockOrigin/uAssets#23944

IDK what is the issue. Images change when I hover over mouse with AdGuard – Ads enabled on Firefox.

drogga commented 2 weeks ago

@Yuki2718 Hover?, clicking on them or the trailer on PC with any Chromium based browser didn't work yesterday (the last I checked)...

Looks the bad rules were removed https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/commit/266531fab7498e05af7dfb02a210dbe92b5d4087

drogga commented 2 weeks ago

@Yuki2718 Thank You & Alex-302. It looks like even tho the filters do and were auto updated, the "AdGuard – Ads" one didn't much started working with the fix, so I had to Disable & Enable it again to start working correctly.

Was I wrong commenting in that issue ticket in uAssets in the first place in vain ? I wish it wasn't locked, especially given that I didn't know at the time that this particular filter caused the issue or where to report exactly, so not only I didn't get an adequate response/support or any real/actual help whatsoever there, but I'm actually left with a bad feeling / experience, making me to not want to ever engage with anyone there at all. What an attitude and rude behavior by this "ghajini" user, asking a question with his last comment there and then locking the otherwise closed issue ticket, not waiting for a response, which looks like a rhetorical question anyway, and then why I do contact users that way in my repos by mentioning them - that's why. I mean, I'm a moderator in a site,, but I don't do this.

Yuki2718 commented 2 weeks ago

Yes, if an issue is caused by AdGuard - Ads, you have to open an issue ticket or comment in https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters. It may take some time for you to recieve the update.

drogga commented 2 weeks ago

Well I now know that it was AdGuard's fault, but didn't the other day when I first commented there...


BTW, there has been a problem for years with the "Reply" button in PMs in a certain phpBB forum that gets fixed if the "Ignore generic cosmetic filters" is enabled (disabled by default), I don't have time to investigate more or or want to report anywhere else or bother anyone else about it, so let me know if you want to know which site it is to maybe try to figure out and fix the filter rules or whatever (you will need an account), but it doesn't look to be the site's fault, but uBO's in Chromium based browsers ;)

Yuki2718 commented 2 weeks ago

Why don't report so any volunteer having time can take a look?

drogga commented 2 weeks ago

i've already explained why, I'm not risking the same thing happen again and I'm pretty much done with reporting to the uBO repo.
