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

Block FloC requests within uBO

A specific URL where the issue occurs

Test case: https://amifloced.org/ But will eventually occur on various sites.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Expect uBO to block requests using Floc
  2. Open : https://amifloced.org/
  3. Detects FloC

Expected behavior:

uBO should block FloC for privacy.
Have an option to counter google's tracking. Would recommend a default option for Chrome, but if not available a configurable option.

Actual behavior:

FloC isn't being blocked in uBO.

Your environment

  • uBlock Origin version: 3.10.2
  • Browser Name and version: Brave V1.22.71 (Apr 1, 2021)
  • Operating System and version: Windows

Maybe too generic, but something like this:

! Remove Floc checks by websites when using Chrome
!#if env_chromium
*##+js(aopr, document.interestCohort)
*##+js(aopw, document.interestCohort)
!#endif
