Prerequisites

  • I verified that this is not a filter issue
    • Filter issues MUST be reported at filter issue tracker
  • This is not a support issue or a question
    • Support issues and questions are handled at /r/uBlockOrigin
  • I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue
    • Your issue may already be reported.
  • I tried to reproduce the issue when...
    • uBlock Origin is the only extension
    • uBlock Origin with default lists/settings
    • using a new, unmodified browser profile
  • I am running the latest version of uBlock Origin
  • I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I report is not a normal behavior

Description

Currently the list is under Ads section of Filter lists, and too many people believe it removes obtrusive anti-adblock that locks the page until you disable your blocker while in reality the list just hides unobtrusive messages which can often be dismissed by a close button. This discussion illustrates the situation but I don't think I need to submit more evidences for that. The purpose of the list is exactly a part of job of various annoyances filters so I suppose to move the list to the appropriate section so that user can choose proper filter for his use.

A specific URL where the issue occurs

No idea what URL to put

    Actually I have been wondering lately if I should just remove it -- I have no clue whether it accomplishes anything anymore given that now uBO's own filter lists has grown to the point where I feel "Adblock Warning Removal" has become pointless.

    • Indeed the list is (and was) from the beginning a useless one, something like an annoyance list
    • best would be removing it

    In fact I took a dozen or so domains from the list and for all of them I saw no warnings with default settings, not to mention 2 were dead links. Great decision, tho I expect some user question.

    I do not agree that this filter does nothing and is useless.

    Example:

    https://myanime.online/anime/full/10645-neveroyatnye-priklyucheniya-dzhodzho-zolotoy-veter-tv-4-jojos-bizarre-adventure-golden-wind-01-iz-39.html

    Etc...

    Nothing that can't be added to the current set of default filter lists -- there is no good reasons to have those filters sit in a separate filter list.

    @dimisa-RUAdList My take on for that is it may be useful for those who visit Russian sites often, as obviously many of specific rules on the list are for .ru or .ua - and the rest are mostly for .fr. Not sure how much usuful those generic rules on the list.

    Nowhere in the default list options.

    If you want to add it, import https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/antiadblockfilters.txt to your custom lists
