I broke my Snapshot.
-
For any uMatrix Vusers please.
How can one unblock the bare minimum needed to make the necessary page images of the article itself appear [ie, Figure A, Figure B...]?
https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-use-snapshots-in-virtualbox/
With uO active & uM off, these work [ie, the target images appear]:
www.techrepublic.com akamaized.net * noop www.techrepublic.com cbsistatic.com * noop www.techrepublic.com google.com * block www.techrepublic.com techrepublic.com * noop
I have these in uM:
www.techrepublic.com akamaized.net * allow www.techrepublic.com cbsistatic.com * allow www.techrepublic.com google.com * block www.techrepublic.com techrepublic.com * allow
In uM i have even tried greenlighting every visible row, but the images still do not show. So far i can only see them if i whitelist this page in uM, which i consider a highly undesirable method.
I have even disabled each of these, but the page images still do not appear:
So far in the short time i've used uM in place of uO i've been able to solve each page i've needed, but this one is currently beating me.
I've now manually installed uO 1.16.4, which works well, unlike 1.16.6. The TechRepublic page works fine, just like this:
This is my current [unsuccessful] uM UI for this page:

@steffie Aha, sussed it out. Now i can again disable uO & just run solely with uM, including on that domain.
The missing ingredient was this one:
techrepublic.com www.googletagservices.com * allow
It was hiding down within the collapsed...
Until tonight i had not even noticed that minuscule little down-arrowlet. When one clicks it, lo & behold, a hidden world of myriad blocked items appears, amongst which lurks that key one per above. Thus now:
That comes from Chromium, not V. I decided to troubleshoot it today not in V, just to ensure it was not some strange V-only fault. It's not... but in so-doing i discovered what clearly IS a V-fault. Notice the vertical scrollbar in the Chromium instance of uM? It's missing in V-SS & V-Stable.
PS: This popularity dichotomy amused me:

Hadden89 found the culprit, it's the UI zoom < 100% facepalm
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/27840/bug-ublock-origin-nano-adblocker-popup
I had my Home's Vivaldi set at 85% while at work I keep it at 100%. Now I changed back to 100% also here, installed uB0 1.16.9RC0 and the popup is ok again.
I had to adapt the Speed dial mod to make the thumbs smaller to fit the 6x5 thumbs in it, and apart having larger tabs, everything is ok now. -
@ian-coog Aha, cool, many thanks for pointing this out to me... curses - why did i not realise this myself?
UI 100% is simply too big for me; aesthetically IMO V becomes ugly, but also it compromises usability [eg, i use a lot of WebPanels, & at 100% they extend so far down that the Settings button vanishes, which is unacceptable to me].
Mind you, at the rate my dotage & physical disintegration continues [the law of the universe --entropy-- gets us all in the end], pretty soon i might have to use UI 100%. In V's youth, i used 75%, which has gradually become 77%, 80%, 83%, 85%, 88%, 90% & is now 93%. Sigh.
BTW, though it's OT, i shall add a post to https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/27840/bug-ublock-origin-nano-adblocker-popup mentioning that the bug also afflicts uM.
BTW-2: I have now really grown comfy with uM, & really do prefer it over uO. Funny that; when i first discovered uM many years ago it totally confounded me, so i retreated to uO with my tail between my legs.

@steffie
I use a different solution than the u[extensions] but if it is possible to fine grade further you only need to allowtr2.cbsistatic.com
tr4.cbsistatic.com
(and if possible only the main script here, but if the others are blocked the advertisement script is empty anyway, so I didn't bother)www.techrepublic.com
to get the bare minimum, i.e. article and images.
