Not working at all on Startpage with version 8.6.0

[linlinxza]

I went with this:

startpage.*##a[href*=".reddit."]:upward(1)

That works. And I ironically, I got it from Reddit. It was for Google searches. But it seems to work on startpage as well.

In the past couple of days, I've learned more on how to use wildcard like approaches on Ublock.

It's even worse. The extension can't even access its own options.

This "update" broke the entire extension.

[linlinxza]

I can access its options interestingly enough. But yeah. This addon needs to be fixed. I don't know of any other method to filter out the crap online (like the Lizard's Meta crap).

I'm also using Librewolf, filtering works on Google and DDG but on Startpage

Yeah. I'm also aware of that.

This is strange. The addon will work briefly on startpage. But after that, it won't. This happens on a fresh browser profile. It's depends on how many times you refresh the page. Then it will work temporarily.

Refresh:

Seems like this addon is doing more misses than hits for now. I just hope this gets fixed.

If you have uBlock, adding startpage.*##.result:has(a[href*="*.reddit.com"]) to your filters seems to do the job. Just wanted to mention it as an alternative, 'cause I kept accidentally clicking on sites I had blacklisted ever since the extension broke.

Thank you! I'll do that. I'm already making custom lists on Github for my repos to try and block all the stuff I see as trash online.

EDIT:

I tried that and it's not working.

Correction: startpage.*##.result:has(a[href*="www.reddit.com"])
my original example works for blocking Fandom (startpage.*##.result:has(a[href*="*.fandom.com"])) but not Reddit, not sure why, anyway as I'm typing this uBlocklist started working again haha. I think it heard that I was about to replace it with uBlock.

Now I got my list for search results working. If I can get the same effect for image results, then it would be perfect.

This issue was opened before v8.6.0 was published on AMO (May 13) 😕

It was intentional that Startpage image search was left unsupported: #243. (The situation is different now and pull requests are welcome)

Don't need this extension now. I made my own Ublock filters of domains I despise; and it's a long list. Example of that list:

Desktop:
startpage.*##a[href*="facebook"]:upward(1)

Mobile (on a separate list):
startpage.*##a[href*="facebook"]:upward(2)

Images (desktop and mobile):
startpage.*##.image-container:has(div.image-quick-details span:has-text(facebook))

I'm good.
