Hello, I work for a university where we have just deployed uBlock Origin campus-wide for Google Chrome. One of our departments has come back with a couple of issues, the first of which is that the domain they use for one of their web pages is which is getting blocked by EasyList due to an unfortunate acronym. Is there a way we can have this whitelisted?

Code: Select all

ads.ac.uk
Also, and forgive me if this is in the incorrect section of the forum, they use javascript on the same page for their analytics but this is being blocked by EasyPrivacy. Could the following also be whitelisted?

Code: Select all

Many thanks for your help.

The first part is fixed now in uBo

The second (privacy "issue") is a normal one, so (if does not break the pages) will still be there.

Thanks for fixing the first part.

Apologies, I'm not sure I understand about the second part? Is this just something that isn't able to be fixed?

I mean the privacy issues can be fixed (whitelisting the filter for your site) only if the site is broken due to such filter. Otherwise, it's normal to block those scripts (to preserve the privacy of the users).

Given you have an internal network, you could create a (custom) list (hosted on some server - free or one of the campus and enforced on all installations ) in which to add the exceptions you need.

Ah I see. Yes the site is working it's just that the javascript they use for the analytics is being blocked. I'll see what we can do about creating a custom list and hosting it somewhere.

Thank you for going into more detail and for your help.

for example, how to create such list (for ABP, but it's the same for uBo)
