Notes

Reddit discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/cmaoe1/set_javascript_variable/

The destination URL is hardcoded inside a Vue function. Maybe we need a new scriptlet for running functions onload using onload or event listener? Or a scriptlet to set variables constant to any string? It would be a simpler fix due to how the site checks for completion, but here's a workaround with current scriptlets.

direct-link.net,link-to.net,direkt-wissen.com##+js(set-constant, app.addonIsInstalled, trueFunc)
direct-link.net,link-to.net,direkt-wissen.com##+js(nano-sib, web_counter)
direct-link.net,link-to.net,direkt-wissen.com##+js(nano-sib, video_counter)
direct-link.net,link-to.net,direkt-wissen.com##+js(nano-sib, countdown)

Who actually uses that crap?
There are countless link shorteners but this one is hilarious.
In order to get to my destination I have to read an article, watch a video, allow push notifications and install some obscure extension.
🤣

[okiehsch]

I should probably block all of those sites as malicious.

[okiehsch]

I also get an anti-adblock message at two of those domains.

[okiehsch]

Thanks for investigating, the https://direkt-wissen.com/l/1284/SkyPvPMapsetc link does not work on my end after I solve the captcha.
I added your filters anyway, they work fine for the other two domains.

[llacb47]

Add direct-link.net,link-to.net###video_modal > .modal-dialog > .modal-content > .modal-body to hide the video player?

And direct-link.net,link-to.net##.redirect-wrapper-big.redirect-wrapper to hide the ad above the countdown/download button?

[llacb47]

More filters needed for Firefox @okiehsch:

direct-link.net,link-to.net##.redirect-overlay
direct-link.net,link-to.net##+js(nano-setTimeout-booster.js, notification_state, 12000)
! impression tracking (Easylist?)

@okiehsch Filters broken... see https://old.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/d931ex/linkvertise_linktonet_started_detecting_an/

[okiehsch]

Have you tried with an updated uBO-filters list?

[llacb47]

Just did, I can't get past the add-on and video.

[okiehsch]

Sorry, I only noticed the anti-adblock message before the captcha, that was fixed earlier.
For the rest see https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/6065#issuecomment-520114591 and https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/6065#issuecomment-520114651.
I will add working filters if suggested but I won't bother investigating a site I consider malicious.

Actually it was fixed by some default filters...
Just you have to click Discover articles , overlay will come then click cancel × button.....
Continue button is visible then....
