robinpaulson commented 3 years ago

Prerequisites

[X] I verified that this is not a filter issue (MUST be reported at filter issue tracker)
[X] This is not a support issue or a question
[X] I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue
[X] The issue is not present after wholly disabling uBlock Origin ("uBO") in the browser
[X] I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I report is not a normal behavior

I tried to reproduce the issue when...

[X] uBO is the only extension
[X] uBO with default lists/settings
[X] using a new, unmodified browser profile

Description

Firstly, apologies if this has been already submitted. I did perform a search of the issues page, but it may be too generic to find.

I use several websites which have advertising not blocked by uBlock. Now, you will say "this is not a problem with uBo, contact the maintainer of the list.". And you would be correct to say this. However, what I am proposing is a feature which provides a way to submit our own custom filters to one or more filter lists. It could be run at a predefined time, or manually. I've added a website with the worst advertising which isn't caught, but there are of course many. Thanks for reading.

Thanks for getting back to me so quick and for considering what I wrote.

The reason I raised this here was to ask for the inclusion of the feature within ublock itself. That would be far smoother and simpler than a manual transfer of data from one page to another. Additionally, I'm sure there are plenty of ubo users who are unable or unwilling to use Github to submit their filters.
