URL address of the web page

https://play.geforcenow.com/games?game-id=f66d19a8-4d80-406f-b1f0-075ff5e9b51c&lang=en_US&asset-id=01_47622aeb-7d9d-4289-8e56-ecb27af291f1

Description

WITHOUT MY CUSTOM LISTS, there are occasionally ads once you are in the queue of a game you're trying to play.

~~WITH MY OWN LISTS, there is also an "adblocker detected" popup, as it appears that the page is detecting that simulmedia-apis.com is being blocked.~~ Nevermind, this appears to be due to Microsoft Edge's Strict Tracking Prevention setting and is unrelated to uBlock Origin's lists (however after Googling simumedia-apis, it appears it is an advertising platform — is it possible for this to be blocked and to evade the adblocker detected popup?).

Other extensions used

none

It looks like it works! No ads seem to appear on my end after applying the filter.
