UBlock Origin doesn't work, sometimes
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
I have managed to find a specific example for this @Vlad.
Here are the steps to reproduce this along with the video for it on : https://music.youtube.com
Steps are as follow :-
- Just after install simply install the ublock origin extension.
- Open youtube music and play any song and ublock will work as expected.
- Now open the preferences and disable content blockers (in-built ones)
- Quit the browser
- Reopen the browser
- Again revisit youtube music and play any song and now the ads will show up.
Btw, this is not just for ublock but also happens for other ad blockers like adguard as well. The reason for disabling the in-built content blockers is the FAQ mentions to not use them side by side with ublock here :- https://browser.kagi.com/faq.html#ubo
It seems like disable in-built content blockers is somehow messing up with the 3rd party blockers like ublock
Hope you are able to reproduce this and test out on your end and then maybe we can have a fix for this.
