  • Native content blocking exception rule does not seem to be working

Current behaviour
When browsing reddit, even though other extensions such as uBlock Origin are disabled, upon loading the front-page or subreddits for the first time, there will be ads visible. Only when refreshing the same page they will disappear.

Tried disabling RES and uBlock Origin, but the result is the same.

Expected behavior:
When native content blocking is active on reddit, ads should be blocked immediately.

    catch-22 I am unable to reproduce it. Did you try without any extensions active?

        Vlad

        Yes, just tried it now with all extensions disabled, behaviour is still the same.

        For clarity, I have the native content blocker disabled by default, with the exception of reddit (so that uBlock Origin and RES don't conflict).

            Vlad enabling it for all websites by default gets rid of the ads, so it seems that it's a bug with the exception rule

                Vlad changed the title to Native content blocking exception rule does not seem to be working .

                  Ok glad we pinpointed this one. So to reproduce:

                  • Disable Content blocking globally
                  • Add an exception for a site eg reddit.com through prefs->websites->content blocking
                  • Content blocking does not get activated on reddit.com

                    catch-22 Every time I prioritise just one more thing it ends being 50 things in the queue. There is just so much to be done in a browser.

                        eirk not fixed. the behaviour is still exactly the same as the video on the original post

                            update: I've tried uninstalling uBO and just going with the native adblocker, and I've noticed that it simply does not block ads on reddit regardless of the exception rule

                            and on that note, it seems that RES and uBO do not conflict with each other anymore

                              @catch-22 I can't reproduce it and wonder if you would be able to confirm whether it's fixed.
