Unable to order stuff at the USPS store...

Steve, you know the thread "What the status of my .... ?" They post VB-xxxxxx. Harvesting, nice one.

Has happened before. Either here or at My Opera. They've had to close bugs because spammers got hold of the email address. The spammers don't know there's not actually a person at that address; they just know it's a valid address, And so the bug report gets posts added to it for ED medicine or Nigerian princesses or all the other spam you see ... and they actually have to close that bug because of the "noise". (Presumably they switch to a duplicate, but I'm not there to see what they actually do.)

There are e-mail generator. It's war, competition. Who did the the work home? cstrep probably didn't.
-
Should try after some time.
-
Can't you just allow it from inside ublock origin's overview panel?

Could not reproduce it on 2.9.1705.41 Win 10 x64. Tested with a fresh profile and a used one.
did you test with uBlock Origin on?
-
@TsunamiZ just whitelist it as in the screenshot above, no need for dramas.
-
this should get fixed by default, without needing users to do workarounds.

You have chosen to block ads and scripts using an external program but you refuse to learn how it works and report falsely a bug that does not exist and demand from everyone else but you to not cause you problems.... If you don't want problems just stick to vanilla internet without blocking scripts, frames and others.

@npro I can sort-of see your point, but I don't remember seeking out Ublock Origin on my own. As I recall it was heavily promoted by Vivaldi and I just consented. And usually it causes no significant problems, so I've never dug into the cryptic dialog it shows if you click its icon - the one with the red and green bars that are meaningless to people with red-green color blindness.
What it doesn't do is communicate when it is causing a problem. For instance in the on - off screenshots above, it could outline the page elements it has blocked and put a little logo in them, so we know something is missing. Otherwise how do we know we're supposed to click that tiny icon thousands of pixels away in the screen corner, and try to figure out what the cryptic symbols mean?

Hi, we don't live in the early 00's anymore and the web has significantly changed for the worse, nowadays even fonts are secret ads, so I suggest you to invest more time into privacy and blocking stuff. The official site here https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Quick-guide:-popup-user-interface contains what you need and is easy to understand with pictures etc.
Also if you take a look in the settings it got you already covered, there is a tickbox for color blindness.

You don't need that -though it exists in some extent in showing placeholders of blocked elements as outlines in ublock origin- when you think that a site is not working as intended the first thing you should do is try loading the webpage with adblocking temporarily disabled, like both users have done and asked for. From there you can further investigate. You can look for that feature you are asking for in other adblockers, maybe they have implemented it more accurately. But if it would show you all things blocked... you wouldn't be able to see the normal webpage "underneath"...

Do you mean Vivaldi kind of proposed uBlock Origin during the installation of Vivaldi? Weird. Not sure Vivaldi has that kind of agreement with uBlock. Can you please provide more details about your experience?
The suggestion you make is interesting but would be more a suggestion to make to uBlock Origin. I'm maybe wrong but I'm not sure Vivaldi team can do something about it. -
@Ornorm There was a blog article about how Google moving to Manifest v.3 would break ad blockers here https://vivaldi.com/blog/chromium-ad-blockers-choice/ , definitely not anything "heavily promoted", or I'm missing an older one.
-
@npro I remember that one. Vivaldi, as written in that blog post, often repeats :
But Vivaldi is also all about giving you the choice. We want you to browse the web the way you want.
Indeed, not heavily promoted...
-
The topic has 24 replies (including mine) , that's too long. I understand it's not Vivaldi issue.
bug status: unconfirmed
I will not lock the topic, lamarca is not alone.

@npro Thank You! In the same menu with "Color Blind Friendly" they show "Hide placeholders of blocked elements", and it was turned on - apparently by default. Will be fun to see if enabling the placeholders will make its occasional interference less mysterious. Sounds like exactly what I was asking for!
And yes, I should spend more time digging into security settings. Like the ones Windows Update keeps defeating. And I should spend more time trimming trees around my home in California fire territory. And exercising my poor aging body. And...
As for why I have Ublock, I truly don't remember, it was over a year ago when I switched to Vivaldi. I'd never heard of it, but somehow I immediately saw it recommended over the things I knew about.
(Apologies for making the thread even longer, but I do think maybe I've suggested a useful setting change.)
-
this still has not been fixed. please give us an update. right now I have configured vivaldi as my default browser and uninstalled everything else so I've been using my phone for this site. I'd appreciate knowing whether this glitch is on anybody's to do list.
-
can someone forward this bug report to the uBlock Origin dev for fixing?
-
@TsunamiZ There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realised that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have.

@contactamy I don't know if your issue is the same as originally reported, and even if it is, it's not a bug in Vivaldi and it never was.
I explained what was causing it in this post, and it should be easy to override by explicitly overriding the rule in your own uBlock settings. Or just disable the whole EasyPrivacy list - which should not be enabled by default anyway, unless the user know what they're doing.
Installing a third-party extension requires a certain amount of knowledge from the user to understand how the extension works and how to fix any issues it might cause with page display.
In this case the rule
/metrics/metrics$domain=~spatineo.comis simply faulty, as it will catch anything containing/metrics/metricfor any domain except forspatineo.com, as per the Adblock documentation:
https://help.eyeo.com/en/adblockplus/how-to-write-filters#domain-restrictionsGithub is open to anyone, and anyone can create an issue report for EasyList and even create their own pull request. But judging from the massive backlog of pulls for Easylist, I'd say the best solution is to override it yourself or disable Easylist, as any chance of getting a pull request merged to master to fix it looks slim indeed:
