Until now it secretly loaded image ads in the background (i.e. on IMDb). You just didn't see them.
With this feature it's going to be possible to remove the images before they are loaded (granted that the filter maintainers or you bother to do it).
Zachary Gray
how does that help me though? i don't download 2mb more stuff?
Luke Harris
>block stuff with medium mode >nothing is hidden cause nothing is loaded I don't get this meme

Yeah, pages should be faster and you won't be exposed to ad companies tracking your online habits for profit.
Benjamin White
god damn you are fucking retarded. why are you on Sup Forums
Sebastian Wilson
Your browser doesn't even launch the request, so there's no passive tracking possible from third parties
Michael Parker
i was thinking maybe there was a security risk maybe? since my data isnt capped i don't really give a damn if i download 200kb more every time i open imdb

Isaiah Smith
Websites can track you based on which of the resources fail to load :^)
Kevin Brooks
well an adblock already does that, no?

that doesn't mean it can't block network requests. abp does the same thing for cosmetic filtering too, simply hiding the elements
Evan Cook
So what's the difference between uBlock and origin?
Benjamin Robinson
origin gets more updates and has more features and is maintained by the original ublock dev, non-origin is maintained by a scumbag
James Kelly
Doesn't some adblocker already do that?
Like, I remember years back hearing shitflinging from Adblock+ users and Ublock Origin users about how one only hides ads and one prevents them from loading and other shit.
Camden Brown
You're a stupidtard if you don't know the OP is meme'ing right now.
John Nguyen
If you were using it correctly and actually blocking images then it's done that since the beginning. You can check the connections being made and see for yourself. If you were blocking parts of the html that contained images instead of the images then it was loading the images because you were hiding html.
Colton Martin
ABP also injects a fuckhuge CSS file into every page which makes it easy to detect and then spam you with anti-adblock messages
Josiah Jones
They both block network requests and both hide dead links and elements caused by the network filters. This is apparently a way to bypass the hiding part and just prevent the parser from even rendering the elements to begin with which saves CPU time.
Joseph Martin
didn't the original adblock do exactly this?
Charles Brooks
The old Opera did it. Images hidden via CSS filters weren't loaded at all.
The current adblockers don't. uBlock shills always keep denying it, but they haven't bothered to check how many of the filters in subscription filters are actually CSS filters that just hide images.

Based fox.
James Diaz
no, it didnt. what it loaded was DOM nodes. and only if it wasnt some cross site crap - in that case it downloaded nothing
Hunter Lee
are u sure? my understanding is that even in this case only dom nodes would be parsed

I still don't understand what drove Gorhill to hand over the fork and name to that fag. Did he just have a meltdown only to quickly realize the fuck up? I read about it a while ago, and he left the project because he didn't feel like he was appreciated, on a forum he wrote something along the lines of "the more you give, the more people act as if you owe them something" and the project started feeling like a job. But after giving over the old fork, he almost immediately picked back up on uBO and now it is bigger than ever.
He really shouldn't have done it, and maybe it's too late to try and unfuck it now, but uBlock Origin is such a terrible name, if he could get the chrisfag to take the old one down and go back to being ublock that'd be good.
Hudson Collins
i only use umatrix and i get these messages all along

How far we've come. We don't deserve Gorhill.

will chrom* ever implement this?

no thanks

I know uHide is a meme, but I still remember during the beta days, I'd sometimes see ad-banners for a split second before they'd disappear, on certain sites.
Colton Bell
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_condition look at the date of the posts. they were posted at the same time and probably caused 4chans thumbnail generation to error
Gavin Jenkins
I love the zapper tool, but I wish Gorhill made it so you could string together hits in one go instead of clicking the tool multiple times over.
That's kind of the point of the tool anyways, a quick one-off solution to clean a site up that you're on for the moment, and that oftentimes means removing more than 1 element.
Carson Gonzalez
nvm I'm an idiot, just realized you can do this already by holding shift.
Christopher Allen
>I still don't understand what drove Gorhill to hand over the fork and name to that fag. Did he just have a meltdown only to quickly realize the fuck up? he got tired of people whining on the issues trackers for requests and just handed it to that mudslime aljoudi, like 2 days afterwards he realized he had really fucked up cause the mudslime faggot started putting donation buttons everywhere and he couldn't actually code for shit apart from all the people here throwing shit

Anybody here know how to make cosmetic exceptions? Fanboy's "Annoyance Filter" has so many false positives, case in point with the recent breakage on Sup Forums with the "Top" button going away.
How do you make exceptions?
Tyler Jones
is there a fix for the top button already?
Julian Garcia
what does that change for the average brainlet
Samuel Hall
the fix is disabling the annoyance filter. But that's why I want to know if there's a way to make cosmetic exceptions
Leo Bailey
nice an ~8 year old bug still around

Some adverts are very difficult to block before they actually load (same domain as page content, same directory structure as page content, unpatterned file names). They can only be addressed through their location in the DOM which is why they get hidden instead of blocked.
Luckily these are also the least cancerous adverts, because they're not loaded via javascript and not using third party javascript to deliver malware.

HELLO I AM PAJEET SERVER PLS DOWNLOAD MY JAVASCRIPT FILE REQUEST MADE FOR HTML BUT NOT MY JAVASCRIPT FILE PLEASE REQUEST IT WHY AREN'T YOU REQUESTING IT I WILL INFORM DR. POO OF THIS
Brody Moore
wow what are websites going to do with all that no tracking info
Cameron Brooks
Ban you for being a leecher.
Nathan Murphy
happened to me once. fun shit.
Brandon Carter
why do ads still exist, who other than people older than 60 years old still pays attention to them at all?
Asher Butler
because they work maybe not on you, but you are overestimating the average person
Julian Long
tbqh i'm dumber than the average person
Nathan Hall
>github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases but how can they track me or even display on the internet if they just willy nilly block random people with no tracking INFO
Caleb Williams
ublock more like uhide. i mean there is no denying it at this point the only thing that is being blocked by this extension are the pictures. inb4 abp shill.i dont even know how people can use a "blocker"(read as hider) that is literally worse than not using an adblocker.
