uassets's Introduction

uAssets

Resources for uBlock Origin ("uBO"): static filter lists, ready-to-use rulesets, etc.

The goal of this repository is to receive all the reports for the need of new filters, or reports of web pages broken by existing filters, and will be open for people to contribute (those who have proven to be valuable contributors will be given write permissions on the project). Ideally I wish eventually there will be a small army of volunteers dedicated to deal with filter issues.

The rationale on whether to include a specific filter in one of uBO's own filter lists is the same as outlined by EasyList/EasyPrivacy policies, also taking into account whether a filter requires uBO's extended filter syntax.

If an issue can be fixed without using extended syntax, i.e. scriptlet injection, redirect, procedural cosmetic filters, etc. the issue will, as a rule of thumb, not be fixed by uAssets, because fixing it in EasyList if possible is preferable.

Issues involving

ad-reinsertion
anti-adblock
contextmenu blockage
copy/cut/paste blockage
popups/popunders
site breakage
video ads

will always be fixed in uAssets even if they don't require extended syntax.

If the ABP-compatible fixes are for high-traffic sites, they should be added to uBO filters until they are added to EasyList.

Paywall

Circumventing a paywall is considered out of scope.

GDPR

GDPR modals will not be addressed in uAssets.

Porn-farms

Sites found to be porn-farms (families of mass-produced porn sites without any original contents) or part of porn-farms will not be addressed in uAssets.

Support forum

Support issues and questions are handled at /r/uBlockOrigin.

Similarly purposed blocker

Using a similarly purposed blocker with uBO can result in site breakage or any undefined result, see https://twitter.com/gorhill/status/1033706103782170625.
