Prerequisites

  • I verified that this is not a filter issue
  • This is not a support issue or a question
  • 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, uBlock Origin enables two different filter lists for users with "RU" locale: AdGuard Russian filter and RU AdList.

The problem is that these are two independent and not really compatible filter lists. Having both of them enabled leads to random issues. For instance, it often happens on websites that do heavy circumvention, and the reason is different incompatible approaches to handle such issues.

Proposed solution: there should be just one default "RU" filter list in uBlock Origin. IMO, it should be RU AdList, @dimisa-RUAdList does a great job of making it compatible with uBlock Origin.

I was asked to report this issue by the maintainers of these filter lists (@dimisa-RUAdList and @Alex-302), and they both agree on the proposed solution.

Your environment

  • uBlock Origin version: v1.22.4
  • Browser Name and version: any
  • Operating System and version: any
