Disabling a whitelist element filter

[gotitbro]

Does anyone know if whitelisted element filters (#@#) can be overridden/disabled. For example, I am trying to override these filters in uBlock filters – Unbreak:

Code: Select all

oxforddictionaries.com#@#.banbox
oxforddictionaries.com#@#.banner

Can I override without disabling the whole list?

Code: Select all

oxforddictionaries.com##.banner,important
oxforddictionaries.com##.banbox,important

important is dedicated only to the network filters

Your filter is working only by chance (or ..a bug in uBo - I notified gorhill )

other working filters:
oxforddictionaries.com##.banner,abc
oxforddictionaries.com##.banner,fake

Could be a bug, all the filters work for me too.

Yes, as I wrote above I already notified gorhill.

$generichide option is a network filter?

[intense]

The filter option important means to ignore all exception filters (those prefixed with @@)

However, it seems to be a bug as you can see / test.

So, currently there is no way of overriding whitelist element filters in ad blockers?

@gotitbro
The filters above are a trick you can use to disable the exception filters.

I had the answer from @gorhill

Not a bug, this is still a valid CSS selector made of two selectors. By using an element name which matches nothing (fake), the exception cosmetic filter won't match the cosmetic filter ##.banner. It's useful to use the comma once in a while to coalesce target elements into a single cosmetic filter, example: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets ... #L554-L555

Another trick to bypass an exception filter using the mentioned case:

oxforddictionaries.com##.banner.banner

$generichide option is a network filter?

Yes and can be disabled by $generichide,important in uBO.
