Starting today, it appears the old version of reddit is now displaying ads, via element IDs that are not yet blocked.
  • URLs:

    Code: Select all

    https://old.reddit.com/
    , or if logged in and have the redesign disabled:

    Code: Select all

    https://reddit.com/
  • Adblocker: uBlock Origin v1.16.14, EasyList updated today (01:01 GMT+1, 9th August 2018)
  • Browser/OS: Google Chrome 68.0.3440.106 (Official Build) (64-bit), Windows 10 Pro 1803
  • Example screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/aErF9we.jpg - ads highlighted with red boxes
Filters:

Code: Select all

On the new design, sidebar ads are already removed by reddit.com##div[id^="sidebar-btf-"], but there are small leftovers (including padding).

Removing anything matching

Code: Select all

reddit.com#?#div.ii4q9d-0.fePAzF:-abp-has(> div.witsfl-1.kTijas)
should do the job without removing anything else.

I use Firefox browser and use uBlock origin.

I'd like to block the Reddit logo and Reddit logo-word from showing up when I'm surfing.

I tried selecting the element in one subreddit, and it's successfully blocked, but when I go to some other subreddit, I again see the reddit logo (I'm talking about stuff in the upper-left corner).

Thank you.

For uBo questions just use this repository:
https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/

try this filter:

Code: Select all

reddit.com##a[aria-label="Home"]

They show up in places like:

Code: Select all

https://www.reddit.com/hot
As you scroll down, there are typically two full-size boxes. They are blank (white), but still there, though sometimes they partially collapse temporarily as you scroll.

This isn't new, so perhaps there's a reason they're still around, such as removing them would break something? For example, there are non-ad elements of the sidebar which should remain.

Tested over several versions of Firefox, Chrome, and uBo through the current versions.

Thanks

It turns out that this is caused by one filter undermining another.

In my case, it was Fanboy's Problematic websites List (note: already part of the Enhanced trackers, Ultimate and Complete list, so if anyone has one of those, this would apply) countermanding EasyList.

It's unclear why Fanboy's list includes Reddit.com in the large section of domains starting with

Code: Select all

@@*$generichide,domain=
So, this EasyList filter wouldn't apply:

Code: Select all

##.GoogleAd
And because of that you get the two sidebar boxes mentioned.

I made this filter to workaround the problem, but I suggest that reddit.com be removed from the above-mentioned section in Fanboy's lists.

Code: Select all

||www.reddit.com^$generichide,domain=www.reddit.com,important

As this staff on the site tracks user, I suggest following for EasyPrivacy:

Code: Select all

||www.redditstatic.com/desktop2x/img/renderTimingPixel.png|
It should be independent w/ browser and/or extension you use, but if needed, confirmed on uBO v1.24.2 on Firefox 71.0

When you're logged into reddit.com with an account that doesn't have an associated email address, a banner will show at the bottom of every page asking for you to add an email address to your account. I've long since made my own rule to remove this banner however I feel it would be more fitting for this rule to be added to the public lists for everyone to enjoy.

The banner is constructed using a plethora of divs however the parent of them all always has the class of kEQVd8aneM1tVkcIKUyDT. Even though this class looks like it may be randomly generated for each user, it is not, I've done testing with multiple accounts across multiple browsing sessions and it always remains the same, I've also been using my blocking rule for over a year and I've not experienced any issues.

My blocking rule is reddit.com##div[class="kEQVd8aneM1tVkcIKUyDT"]

I noticed that when using Fanboy annoyance filter, Reddit comments break. To replicate it, go to any Reddit thread. Type something in the comment box. Click out of the comment box. You can't re-enter the comment box to edit the stuff you typed earlier. Your cursor doesn't turn into an "I" but remains an arrow.

i just started seeing the email banner again (it was previously blocked).

this is with lists that have just been updated before testing. i have both easylist and fanboy's annoyances enabled

it looks like there's a pretty identifiable ID and class though
