Exploit? (.adblockWhitelisted)

[trlkly]

Within past couple of days, ads have been getting through on pornhub.com in both Chrome and Firefox. On Firefox, using the same filters (EasyList), Adblock Plus (EasyList) does not let ads through. (I turned off all the other filters in uBlock Origin just to be sure.)

I used the element picker to hide the element, and I discovered the unusual CSS selector ".adblockWhitelisted". I wonder if this could be the problem, if uBlock Origin uses this class internally for unblocked items.

I have found that I can work around the issue by adding a filter rule of "##*.adblockWhitelisted", however, I am concerned this may break something, if that class is actually used internally. (I'd block it just on pornhub, but I worry I may encounter the same exploit in the wild.)

I have checked this on multiple computers running both Windows and Linux, so this being caused by malware seems unlikely.

Are you sure it works with ABP? Maybe try updating your filter lists in uBO?

Purge all caches and force an update of the filter lists, see if this fixes the issue.

Also, a word of advice: for pornhub.com et al. Use dynamic filtering and the following rules:

youporn.com * 3p-script block
youporn.com * 3p-frame block
youporn.com phncdn.com * noop

This way one does not subject itself to all the useless stuff the site tries to pull into your browser, and the issue reported on EasyList would not be an issue when using medium mode.

I will close for now as it appears to be a 3rd-party list issue. If you make the case this is a uBO issue with better information, I will reopen.
