[Chris-Rockn]

@Chris-Rockn post it here instead of opening a new issue, this will continue to happen as the admin is fighting back against our fixes.

[Chris-Rockn]

@uBlock-user OK. Thanks a lot for your help! But now if go into any topic there is no content showing - https://i1.imageban.ru/out/2020/12/14/cb68288e029618d60debca51b46b7403.png

@Chris-Rockn Avoid posting clickable links please and wrap all site links between backticks like https://www.example.com, so they render themselves as code instead of hyperlinks.

Gotcha. Same with screenshots links?

[uBlock-user]

Screenshots are fine.

[Chris-Rockn]

Also regarding this forum.release-apk.com. Now it shows adblocking detection at the very top of the page - https://i2.imageban.ru/out/2020/12/14/6bd9e2936af38db6462ac6eb7dc58e12.png
It doesn't effect the forum browsing experience but for the sake of eyes pleasing is it possible to block that one element on main page only? Because if I block it globally like this forum.release-apk.com##.bg2.has-profile.post then it blocks topics content.
Is there such an exception as "main page only" or something like that? Tried to google it but couldn't find anything useful.
I'd use that rule in "My filters" section. Thanks.

[uBlock-user]

Can't reproduce, force update uBlock Filters.

[Chris-Rockn]

Hm, weird. I did update the filters - still nothing. Could it be the browser (Chromium 86)? Or should i try to reinstall uBlock? I'll try the latter.

[Chris-Rockn]

I'll try the latter.

Didn't help. Oh well, lets leave it at that. But please tell me if its possible to apply this rule specifically to the main page only?
forum.release-apk.com##.bg2.has-profile.post

[mapx-]

try

forum.release-apk.com##.bg2.has-profile.post:has-text(/adblock/i)

[Chris-Rockn]

try

forum.release-apk.com##.bg2.has-profile.post:has-text(/adblock/i)

Thanks a lot! It worked )

[mapx-]

I'll add it to the annoyances list

[Chris-Rockn]

I'll add it to the annoyances list.

You know, I just thought about this - the topic might have something about adblocking that is different from adblocking detecting. This particular rule will probably block anything with "adblock" in it.
Maybe its better to use something more specific to the issue. Like - "deactivating your Ad Blocker on ReleaseAPK". No?

[uBlock-user]

The question should be why is forum.release-apk.com##.bg2:not(div[id][class$="bg2"]) not working for you ?

[Chris-Rockn]

The question should be why is forum.release-apk.com##.bg2:not(div[id][class$="bg2"]) not working for you ?

I agree. I don't think its the browser though - its not that old. But I guess I'll try a different one to see if the problem persists.

[Chris-Rockn]

@uBlock-user I went to the uBlock filters section and here's what I saw - https://i1.imageban.ru/out/2020/12/14/dca768643eebfb6485f83b6d54874bb8.png
That particular rule is red underlined. So that's why I guess it doesn't work for me - uBlock doesn't like it. But how come it works for you? I don't get it,

[uBlock-user]

@Chris-Rockn It shouldn't be, what uBlock version was this on ?

[Chris-Rockn]

@uBlock-user I'm on 1.31.2

[uBlock-user]

@gorhill, any idea why uBlock on stable build 1.31.* sees :not() as invalid ?

[gorhill]

Can put here the filter text so that I can copy & paste?

[uBlock-user]

forum.release-apk.com##.bg2:not(div[id][class$="bg2"])

[gorhill]

The browser does not consider this to be a valid selector, you can try it in any dev console:

document.querySelector('.bg2:not(div[id][class$="bg2"])');
Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'querySelector' on 'Document': '.bg2:not(div[id][class$="bg2"])' is not a valid selector.

It works if you split into multiple :not:

document.querySelector('.bg2:not(div):not([class$="bg2"]):not([id])');

[uBlock-user]

how come this does not happen on the dev build of uBO ?

[gorhill]

This happens on dev build of uBO, I just did test on it.

[uBlock-user]

firefox 83?

[gwarser]

Implemented in Fx 84 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=933562

---

Some dummy procedural filter inside :not() will make it work procedurally.

[gorhill]

Some dummy procedural filter inside :not() will make it work.

But this will change the semantic of the filter from _"does not match..."_ to _"does not contain an element matching..."_. From what I see the former is wanted here.

[uBlock-user]

Unfortunately .bg2:not(div):not([class$="bg2"]):not([id]) doesn't work as a replacement for .bg2:not(div[id][class$="bg2"])(matches 0 as per picker) on the site, so removed.
