ruadlist doesn't work right with Brave's adblocker

Opened this issue · 10 comments

Since Brave's adblocker announced it's compatible with UbO's filters, I used RuAdList-uBO.txt only to realize it doesn't support a filter including other filters like that. I ended up have to add each filter file of the ruadlist collection manually (so many of them!). It's somewhat worked, but still not as optimal as it is on UbO. On news.mail.ru there is still empty ad container boxes. These boxes should be removed (as they are on UbO). I'm always using dark mode, having a white box on a dark background make my eyes hurt. Please fix it.

Update: my guess is Brave's adblocker does not fully support all of UbO's features so filter lists like css-fixes-experimental.txt and js-fixes-experimental.txt doesn't work optimally, I might have to install Stylus and ViolenMonkey to use the corresponding fixes like when using with Adblock Plus as stated on the easylist forum. But, it shouldn't be the case! Brave's adblocker should be compatible with all UbO filters isn't it?

@tn1997tn Brave offers a preprocessed version of RU AdList in the brave://settings/shields/filters page, which might be a bit easier to enable than adding all of the files manually. See below:

adblock-rust is mostly compatible with uBO syntax, and getting closer over time. There's still a couple of differences but I'm working on getting them sorted out as much as possible.

Regarding particular filter list issues on news.mail.ru, @ryanbr could you take a look?

@tn1997tn What issues are with news.mail.ru? what should I be looking for?

There is still empty white box (used to be ads container, ads blocked, but the container is still there). Not only on news.mail.ru page but on articles page too. UbO correctly blocked all of these empty white boxes.

Enabled both Russian lists (RU Adlist, Adguard Russian) @tn1997tn What I'm seeing;

news-mail

Is this what you're seeing?

It turned out you are even worse than me. Notice the area in the red rectangle, they are white boxes on my system.

From this image, it seems Ru AdList simply not working for you!

Plus, you are using normal Ru AdList for Adblock Plus:

Ru AdList for UbO is https://raw.githubusercontent.com/easylist/ruadlist/master/RuAdList-uBO.txt

See this thread for more detail: https://forums.lanik.us/viewtopic.php?t=22512-%D0%BE-%D1%84%D0%B8%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B5-ru-adlist-%D0%B8-%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BD%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F%D1%85

Btw, please use only Ru AdList. As I recall Adguard said it's not recommended to use Adguard Russian with Ru AdList as it will cause conflicts. Please test the site mail.ru and post the screenshot so I could tell exactly if Ru AdList is simply not working for you!

We don't support !include currently which limits support here @tn1997tn
