      @Dashrender said in uBlock Origin blocking over 1000 requests:

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

      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

                well i guess pasting the url of an ad just shows the ad, I removed the domain portion.

                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,

                      https://mangolassi.it/uploads/files/ml/do-ssd-virtual-servers-banner-160x600.jpg

                      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.

                            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.

                                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.

                                    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.

No one puts pictures on their sites that are those sizes. Would you size an image 300x250 or 300x600 -- not likely -- but are they iab standard sizes -- yup. Since most advertisers and other marketers will include the ad size in the image file path it makes sense to block it.

                                          And those who are blocking ads just by size generally know that as well and will unblock things as needed.

                                            You'd think that you'd block by size then, not by name.
