[mapx-]

it seems to be self promotion

[stephenhawk8054]

You can add these:

scribd.com##section.body > div[class^="GridContainer-module_wrapper"]:style(padding-top: 0px !important;)
scribd.com##[data-testid="bottom-right-mrec"]
scribd.com##[data-testid="desktop-leaderboard"]
scribd.com##[data-testid="sticky-wrapper"]
scribd.com##.between_page_portal_root
scribd.com##.list_content_wrapper > li:not([data-e2e])
scribd.com##.wrapper__doc_page_shared_recommender_list > a[href]:not([data-e2e])

Self-promotion is out-of-scope for adblocking filters. Enable either EasyList – Other Annoyances or AdGuard – Other Annoyances. Looks AG decided to address some of them in main list.

@stephenhawk8054 Are

scribd.com##.list_content_wrapper > li:not([data-e2e])
scribd.com##.wrapper__doc_page_shared_recommender_list > a[href]:not([data-e2e])

on the same page? I don't see them.

@gorhill The picker is broken only on Chrome.

[ghajini]

[gorhill]

The picker is broken only on Chrome

Broken how and where?

[Yuki2718]

Broken how and where?

On the issue URL https://www.scribd.com/document/490608539/Werkstatt-B2-pdf the picker never opens on my end.

[gwarser]

Works fine here.

[gorhill]

Works fine here.

Also can't reproduce, Chromium or Firefox.

[Yuki2718]

Okay, apparently something in My filters is causing the problem. Cleared My filters after saving its content and readded, the problem was solved. Not directly related, but if I disable My filters, the picker icon disappered. Is this intended?

[gorhill]

Yes: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commit/bc641fc024

@gorhill i see why it happens, enable ublock annoyances which has this filter scribd.com##+js(aeld, /^(mouseout|mouseleave)$/)

which causes element picker to not act when triggered, is this bug?

[Yuki2718]

yeah, I can reproduce. Not sure if I had this turend on and disabled on checking filters.

[gorhill]

Still can't reproduce after enabling "uBlock filters -- Annoyances".

@Yuki2718 It's at the right sidebar where it lists other (related?) file links. At the top and among them when scrolling are the self-promotions.

I see the parent element, but on my end they are always 0 hit for some reason.
