catch-22 Just out of curiosity, what happens when there are fewer rules in your blocklist?

I personally found that having fewer rules reduced non-blocked elements issue. So I just want some else to verify this too.

    catch-22 I'm sorry if I was not clear. By fewer rules, I meant that the total of 'x' network filters + 'y' cosmetic filters should be small. In this scenario, is the result same?

      Vlad Ok this is for added elements, not default ad blocking behaviour - yes this is a known issue.

      @Vlad, just to confirm this issue is not just for added elements, but is for default ad-blocking behaviour. Here are the main pages of Facebook and Reddit with uBlock Origin installed:


      It's not just about cosmetic filters. uBlock Origin doesn't block ads in Orion without a page refresh.

      I noticed that for me it was only happening on a new tab/window.
      So I changed "new window/tab open with" from Start Page to Empty Page, which seems to have fixed it.

      Could also reproduce it again by switching it back to Start Page.
      It does not matter if you click on something on the start page or manually enter something in the URL bar.
      Looks like loading a page from the Start Page breaks the adblockers somehow.

        I have the issue of cosmetic/static filtering not being enabled on initial page load and requires a reload of the page similar to what users have mentioned abov.

        @Vlad do you want me to open a new but report specifically for cosmetic/static filtering not being enabled on uBO until the page is reloaded?

          For some reason it's being ignored, while being a major issue with one of the advertised features. Don't get me wrong, the browser is great but the fact that there is no progress on this issue, not even acknowledgement, is frustrating.

            REB00T Not sure why you chose to ignore all the progress that team has made with the browser. There are 2000 open issues on this forum, this is not even the largest one.

            The reason we prioritised other things over this one, is that uBO works reasonably well already and there are many other features that users request with much more passion that this one.

              Vlad In all fairness, while the team has made absolutely incredible progress (and that should be commended) this is the highest voted bug and uBlock Origin is a popular extension used by many users. While uBO mostly works, the lack of application of cosmetic & static filtering until page reload is unpleasant. Then again, I understand why it's not a high priority for the team and Orion is still currently beta software. Additionally, the built-in content blocker works for most users. I do expect that this bug will eventually be fixed in tandem with other fixes to related extension bugs in a future update.

              New user, I'd like to add my voice to the choir. uBlock doesn't filter cosmetic until page refresh. I appreciate that the dev team is small, and Orion otherwise seems lovely, but this is such a pain for me I'm back to Firefox until it's fixed.

                catbonnyh can you please try disabling Orion's built-in adblocker, as I suspect, all the ads are getting blocked by internal adblocker, so ubo is not getting any.

                  uBlock Origin (1.58.0 installed from firefox addons) doesn't block requests (aka displaying a # on the uBO icon) when i duckduckgo anything. it blocks requests on firefox release 127.0.2. see screenshots

                    I am experiencing this with default ad blocking behavior, same as several others have already mentioned. It requires refreshing an open tab to get UBlock to actually work.
