One or more specific URLs where the issue occurs

http://bartbonte.com/factoryballs3/

Steps for anyone to reproduce the issue

  1. install uBlock Origin, restart browser
  2. Add filter:
! Below filter reported by uBlock Logger as invalid. I guess because "$object_subrequest" is not really supported.
||server.cpmstar.com/adviewas2.swf$object_subrequest,domain=bartbonte.com

||server.cpmstar.com/adviewas2.swf$object-subrequest,domain=bartbonte.com

||server.cpmstar.com/adviewas2.swf$object,domain=bartbonte.com
  1. Open uBlock Origin logger.
  2. Visit (requires flash): http://bartbonte.com/factoryballs3/

Expected results:

http://server.cpmstar.com/adviewas2.swf is blocked.

Actual results:

http://server.cpmstar.com/adviewas2.swf is not blocked.

Known workaround:

||server.cpmstar.com/adviewas2.swf$other,domain=bartbonte.com

With type "$other" it is blocked as expected.

Further thoughts:

||server.cpmstar.com/adviewas2.swf$object_subrequest,domain=bartbonte.com

Something here might be wrong. Because filter with this type is offered by uBlock Origin if user attempts to block / allow such request via static-filtering from uBlock Logger.

Your settings

new profile

  • Browser/version: Firefox 56.0.2
  • uBlock Origin version: 1.14.16
Your filter lists

Default except:
EasyList
EasyPrivacy
Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list

These were unchecked because there were filters blocking that subrequest.

Your custom filters (if any)
||server.cpmstar.com/adviewas2.swf$object_subrequest,domain=bartbonte.com

||server.cpmstar.com/adviewas2.swf$object-subrequest,domain=bartbonte.com

||server.cpmstar.com/adviewas2.swf$object,domain=bartbonte.com
