Uassets: Anti-adblock on aternos.org

[Thedeur]

URL(s) where the issue occurs

aternos.org/server/

Describe the issue

Every page is plagued with an adblock page, and clicking "Continue with adblocker anyway" leads to a 3-second countdown before content is loaded. Using Element Picker doesn't work, as the entire body of the page is erased as well.

Screenshot(s)

Versions

• Browser/version: Firefox 75.0 (x64)
• uBlock Origin version: 1.26.0

Settings

Everything here should be default.

Notes

I'm aware that this seems to be a recurring thing, uBlock warring with this site. I wasn't sure whether to open a new issue or comment on the existing one, which was already marked closed.

Update your filter lists.

[Thedeur]

Sorry for late response-- I updated my filters (by purging current caches, then clicking "Update Now"), and I still see the adblock page? I also disabled Firefox's tracking protection and Privacy Badger, if that helps.

EDIT: Also re-installed uBlock-- still the same thing :(

[llacb47]

I can't reproduce in Chrome or Firefox. when you run this in the console what do you get?
$(".ad.responsive-leaderboard").css("min-height")

Also what is the number displayed on the anti-adblock screen?

[Thedeur]

The Firefox console, right? I get "0.0333333px". The number on the block screen is #2711.

[llacb47]

Somehow this filter is not working: aternos.org##+js(aeld, /error|load/, /^(.*_url)((?!-= 1).)*$/).

Do you see it in the logger?

[Thedeur]

Yes, I see it.

[llacb47]

if you add

aternos.org#@#+js(aeld, /error|load/, /^(.*_url)((?!-= 1).)*$/)
aternos.org##+js(aeld, /error|load/)

to your custom filters do you see error number 3139 on the anti adblock screen?

[Thedeur]

In the "My filters" section, right? I applied those, but it still doesn't change (I only closed and reopened the tab, so my cookies are still the same). Opening it in a new private window returns a different number, 27476.

[llacb47]

It seems like the scriptlet is not working correctly and your installation of ubo could be broken.
What do you see at https://firefox-storage-test.glitch.me/?

[Thedeur]

Firefox seems to report itself fine.

Maybe I'll try this on another computer, and see if it works.

EDIT: Same deal, on a Mac computer with uBlock installed :/ Returned 49.

[llacb47]

You can also try:

1. reinstalling uBO
2. creating another firefox profile
3. refreshing firefox

[Thedeur]

I tried creating another profile, with uBO installed and with filters updated, and it's still the same result.

Perhaps you should take a break first? I only raised this issue out of curiosity of why this one site wasn't working, and it's still somewhat usable while adblocked. Thanks for taking so much time.

I only raised this issue out of curiosity of why this one site wasn't working, and it's still somewhat usable while adblocked.

They're spying on this repo and they're on GitHub too, so they're checking the new filters added and undoing them everyday.

[Thedeur]

Lol. Reminds me of the days of 3dsthemeplaza, where the serial escalation eventually caused the owner to break his own site for regular users, then finally give up. I wonder how long it'll take for them on this one.

[llacb47]

Out of curiosity, does it work for you with the test login in https://github.com/NanoMeow/QuickReports/issues/25#issuecomment-516672774 @okiehsch @mapx- ?

[Thedeur]

I do believe it blocks the ad space elements after the page is loaded (which I realized I never tried), but not the initial blocking page.

I think I'll try a script that auto-clicks the button for now.

[llacb47]

Somewhat-working solution in Nano Adblocker:

aternos.org##+js(nanop-click-elements-onready, .btn.lUJybRrvyrOylolnlfmTTgffAChdGdqiz)
aternos.org##+js(nano-sib, clearInterval, 1000)

[Thedeur]

Nice. Though of course, that button element string seems to be randomized for different users. It works pretty well otherwise.
