Break mobile AdGuard Mobile Ads filter:

Recently I noticed that, when I try to visit the New York Times' website on my android mobile browser with uBlock Origin running, I no longer see any headlines or news stories. They sometimes appear for a fraction of a second, then disappear, and the page only shows me the "Opinion" and "Lifestyle" sections. I tried contacting their help, they told me that it was a problem with a timestamped bookmark (I don't even know what that means) and cookies, and that if I cleared my cache it would be fine. But I tried that, and tried using private browsing, and the problem persists.

It almost feels like the site has decided what content I "want" to see and is only showing me that. Has this happened to anyone else?

Thank you for the notice, I updated rule.

@BlazDT, @ameshkov:

I need a little advice as to best place to file issue that NY Times is now detecting AG Android Stealth Mode (tested myself that way, article giving overview @ https://digiday.com/uk/subscription-publishers-close-loopholes-paywall-blockers-emerge/ ).

Should it be filed as new issue or is there an appropriate issue to append/reopen, & would that be someplace here in Filters, Stealth Mode, ForAndroid, CoreLibs, &/or other repos? I'm unsure of how that functionality is implemented/shared, & I wish not to spam a new issue incorrectly (perhaps only borrow a tangentially-related closed issue for this query). 🙇🏾‍♂️

[BlazDT]

Best to file it here since this thread is about the website.
But I cannot reproduce with Stealth Mode, it is not asking me to login/pay regarding paywall. Do you have a screenshot of the issue?

@AdamWr please check on your side.

Did y'all try just an article listing or a specific article? For me it shows up solely on articles, & after a minute or so. Try https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/23/opinion/privacy-tech-companies.html (incidentally, the content opines antithetically to this issue! 🙃)

[BlazDT]

I tried just the one you linked and left it open for a few minutes, no paywall with Stealth module :(

[TPS]

Hrm. Maybe I did something myself. I'll try to track it down.

Thanks!

For the record, it's not happening now to me, either, but I confirmed that it's happening when I posted first yesterday & today — most recently 2 hours ago! Maybe they've shut it down since the publicity hit? I'll report whenever it recurs.
