• [X] using a new, unmodified browser profile

URL(s) where the issue occurs

https://en.ff14angler.com/fish/29

Describe the issue

Adblock detection and content dynamically loaded if no adblock is found

Screenshot(s)

No response

uBlock Origin version

Browser name and version

Google Chrome 94.0.4606.61 (Official Build) (32-bit)

Settings

It's a clean Chrome install using default uBlock Origin settings

Notes

The functions loading the actual content of the page, once the ads iframes are found and loaded, are set in place in the website core making disabling javascript impossible to use as workaround. It appears a preliminary content string is saved within a container and then fed to a php script to load the actual content if no adblock is detected (or at least this is my understanding of how this system works). The string is too long for me to paste it here but it looks like this:

<!-- 
var contents = "Ox0OyM8MKDxcgtLK9Uoez8VSphTnOycZ5XZJkL6T0JlC3LJ23opS11zCqFzQ8mZL1GsIjM6DrqB8w9nvrXWvz9Be8ZikJ6RdWbl/sfh5AC+mL93lrnM4V2HJnZi0ixszy.."

The main functions are in https://en.ff14angler.com/angler.min.js and there are specific functions such as check_adsense() or activate_contents() inside.

Content is also hidden by default in the HEAD of the document, toggled on demand

#contents,$sidebar {
display: none;
}

Anti adblock appears to be up again both on Chrome and Firefox

@steponmepls I can't reproduce, test with default settings.

[ghost]

I just tired resetting default settings on a dummy Chrome install. Also tried enabling Annoyances repos for uBlock and AdGuard and same results for all three cases. The chrome version is Version 99.0.4844.74 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Firefox version is 98.0.1 (64-bit)

I will try testing on other devices as well

enabling Annoyances

No need, is irrelevant.

Also make sure u don't have any other blocker nor blocking on other layer e.g. blocking DNS.

I just tested on a different machine and the filter works as usual there. I just now remembered I recently added entries to my hosts file and there are probably some google addresses that if blocked altogether will cause the website to not show its content anyway. I removed every entry from the hosts file and now it works again on my own device as well. Sorry for the false alarm

A new anti-adblock appears to be up
