So with how GitHub changed the way the max limit is shown, they also accidentally made it impossible to close an issue that has reached the max limit. smh Looks like I must delete one randomly picked comment in the old thread in order to close it. A dictionary case of poor design. |

reason = "not_planned"

owner: context.repo.owner,

Ok, so this is a reply from a uBlock guy, he provided this filter:
But is shows a black bar within the word. He also mentioned the following: "This is proof of concept - color is not adjusted to exactly match the text. I checked it on few articles, even have it in My filters now, and I'm subscribing GH RSS feed. There are more tricks like this. You can change text color to color of the background in I believe it's also possible to reduce the height of the parent element to hide the last line behind the bottom edge." But i have no idea how to approach this :( |

I've noticed from a mostly unrelated E-mail tip that https://github.com/brave/adblock-resources/blob/master/filter_lists/list_catalog.json does not show AdGuard Base Filter as an opt-out or opt-in list. Are there any particular reasons for it? I'd understand it if it's a factor that it's unclear which list version Team Brave would want to use for Brave Shield (There's versions of Base Filter specifically for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Browser Extension, etc., as well as "Optimized" list versions for all or almost all of those devices), and that Team AdGuard may not have it thought it through when they decided to stop generating versions of "Base Filter without EasyList" for all products except uBO; https://filters.adtidy.org/extension/ublock/filters/2_without_easylist.txt works, whereas https://filters.adtidy.org/windows/filters/2_without_easylist.txt worked in the early 2020's but nowadays doesn't. I'm at least hoping the situation isn't just a conflict-of-interest somewhere between Brave/AdGuard/EasyList/others, but I've become very curious about possible reasons, no matter what the reasons would turn out to be. I admit I could've just asked about it at https://github.com/brave/adblock-resources/issues since no reports or PR there have mentioned Base Filter before, but I'd be in a very bad position without a "without EasyList" list version that could in any way be adapted directly from AdGuard→Brave instead of AdGuard→uBO→Brave or something along those lines. |

The newest adblock repo to bite the dust, i.e. taken down by GitHub due to supposed ToS violations, is Mitchell Krogza's "Phishing Database".
I'd honestly be surprised if he'd manage to get it overturned, so I can't really stress this enough: If even remotely viable, you all should set up GitLab mirroring for all of you guys' adblocking-related repos through their Open Source support programme. I know I have. |

I've seen conflicting indications on it, though for the most part I've intentionally avoided seeing what the MV3-focused specific teams at ABP and AdGuard are saying about it in the past 1〜1½ years. But from what I have understood, there seems to be no hard limits on which types of blocking- and hiding-rules that can be used, so the situation is not quite as catastrophic as Safari. I can't speak for scriptlets or CSP however, where my gut feeling is that something surely must've been removed. |

I checked this morning if EasyList had become any better at processing GitHub user reports since I last checked them a year or so ago, and the answer seems to be an indisputable "No". From what I can calculate in a hurry based on https://github.com/easylist/easylist/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aclosed&page=1, ≤12 reports have been fixed in the past 30 days. When the repo has 764 reports at the time of writing, it's an absolute joke, and a rather bad joke too. So if anyone were to wonder why I almost always submit my reports to AdGuard Filters instead, this is the reason why. |

I began thinking some months ago that since more than 95% of Norwegian local newssites were affiliated to either Schibsted or Amedia, and that I had as such in my eyes virtually full coverage of almost every Norwegian site in existence in my list, I began to rest on my laurels a bit, if that explains it somewhat. I did/do check through Danish sites manually from time to time (1〜3 times a month) to find things to add to my list, as the Danish conglomerates are less broad. What dawned on me had become a problem in that thread, was that GitHub Discussions doesn't easily have ways to mark sub-threads as solved/fixed, even less to have a counter for such. So I ended up very quickly losing count of how many of those quick-reports I hadn't yet covered. I know that's going to need a whole lot more effort for each report, but I kinda direly need to have such reports in the counter(s) in GitHub's repo bar and to feel certain the reports have screenshots as well. |

Apology accepted, as it currently stands.

I understand the disdain for Twitter and its removal in the Browsing Websites w/o Logging in list, but a lot of municipalities, local governments, etc still rely on Twitter for real time announcements. Local police departments, my alma mater, local reporters, etc all use it. I get the problems with Musk and Twitter, but at the same time I think forcing people to log in and create accounts doesn't help either. Some people just want information. For instance, Silver alerts always go to Twitter links. If I have to login to read about a missing elderly person, I'm just not going to bother. |

While I understand your points: Even if I had fully attempted to re-instate Twitter support in that particular list, then it'd be all but impossible to handle in that list due to the extreme anti-guest measures that Twitter has added server-side in the past year and a half. I'm taking a qualified guess that more skilled tech people than me who use far more advanced tools than adblockers, have also failed to bypass Twitter's login requirements.
