uBlock Origin blocking over 1000 requests
-
We were looking at this at MangoCon. Looks like some of the blockers are blocking things that are not shown or requested. So as an example, ML has more and more ads in the rotation (all are local JPGs or PNGs, nothing from an ad network) but as that list gets longer, the number blocked with each page refresh grows. It's because we push the list of all possible ads to the browser and let the browser determine which two to show (one on the side, one on the bottom) rather than letting the server side decide. It's a tiny amount of JS and the list is just a little text so we don't worry about the size. But with each additional one added, the list gets longer and the blockers block more stuff even though nothing more is being shown.

I wonder why first party ads are being blocked? Is uBlock Orgins blocking based on filename?

Looks like it

Has to be... either that or just image placement on screen.

filename (-728x90., -ad1, -160x600., /160x600_, -ad2., -160x600., -160x600-) -- all of those would be avoided by randomizing the file name.

GroveSocial ad still works cause the filename doesn't match

@mattel doesn't match... what?

The list maintained on Easylist (see my post above)

well i guess pasting the url of an ad just shows the ad, I removed the domain portion.ml/grovesocial_bottom_banner_1_600.png
1_600. is not one of the ad rules

So just having a number in it breaks their logic?

no, you're breaking the blocking by using a number not in their list. but, if it sees a string it doesn't like anywhere in the filename or path, it appears that it's killing it.

For example,
This is blocked from loading an image. But if you change the name to *do-ssd-virtual-servers-banner-16000x60000.jpg it will probably work, because the string 160x600 isn't in there anymore.

So it is blocking images with a specific size notation in them? That's crazy.

Does it block it in the thread, too?

If you put an image in this thread with that link in it, yes it blocked it, I don't see one. -

LOL it not only blocks the image, it does prevent the text from showing up as well, I have the text link to that image in my post, but I can't see the https link because uBlock Origin blocked it.

If you put an image in this thread with that link in it, yes it blocked it, I don't see one.Weird. But so it definitely is not working as intended. It's not just blocking ads, but any image with common names. That's good and bad. Mostly bad.

So yes, it does block it in the thread as well.

Well, it's pulling a list of considered bad strings from Easylist (https://forums.lanik.us/) and blocking anything on that list. The link is from uBlock Origin as a forum to post in for support regarding the list.

That's weird, though. They just blanket block images with the size in the description? That will randomly break who knows what.
