UBlock Origin doesn't work, sometimes
Steps to reproduce:
Go to Twitter.com
Browse through your timeline or through a tag
Expected behavior:
Promoted twitter ads should not be appearing similar to uBlock origin on other browsers

Interesting - I've been using Twitter w/ uBlock origin on Orion for more than a month and have never seen an ad.
Cannot reproduce - maybe select more lists in ublock?
Also make sure that you are not using the compatibility mode - Twitter was broken on Orion before so you may have left it on.
Not able to reproduce.
Maybe related to this https://orionfeedback.org/d/718-ubo-doesnt-work-sometimes ?
joystmp I think it is a duplicate indeed, it's also about element/visual filters in uBlock Origin not working.
Same issue can be seen often on (old) Reddit, where promoted articles will very often be visible, but sometimes it works and they're hidden, even on the exact same URL it's possible to see it suddenly work/break on refresh.
Still present in latest beta with improvements for various extensions.
Initially it worked when I installed the new beta, but it always has worked intermittently. And soon enough it stopped working again.
Here's a screenshot where reddit promoted posts and cookie banner should be filtered but aren't on the latest beta:
The discussion gets hard to follow.
What is the Ask here and what are steps to reproduce?
- Edited
I can reproduce this reliably:
- Add a custom blocking rule
twitter.com##a[href="/vladquant"]
- Click the link below:
Expected: The post avatar and other links to the profile should be hidden
Actual: The avatar is still visible
Sorry for the weird example, but I had to use embedded media to force the page to open a new tab. A regular link reuses the same tab on this forum software.
Refreshing the Twitter page fixes the issue for me. I've also seen this when opening a new tab and pasting the address. But it doesn't happen reliably.
I found that if the content blockers is turned off, uBlock Origin would not work properly.
Steps to reproduce:
<Include steps to reproduce the bug; Did you try using Compatibility mode? If applicable, does Safari behave in the same way?>
- Open a webpage
- Ads get blocked by uBlock origin
- But certain cosmetic filters or blank areas where the ads used to be are not properly removed
- Refresh the page to see how it's supposed to actually look.
Expected behavior:
<What you expected to happen?>
Not needing to refresh the page every time I visit a webpage for uBlock to work properly.

Partially fixed with the Version 0.99.115.2-beta (WebKit 614.1.12) update, some pages are still janky like when you open a page in a new window or tab. Besides that, there's still a noticeable delay for when the cosmetic filter is properly applied and you can briefly see the placeholder area before it gets blocked.
Sounds like a duplicate of this issue: https://orionfeedback.org/d/718-ublock-origin-doesnt-work-sometimes/4
