[Feature Request]: GUI Toggle for Cookie Notice Filters (Cookie Notices -EasyList/uBO/AdGuard) #3935
-
|
Problem Description uBlock Origin blocks cookie banners primarily via the filter list Functionally, this is equivalent to my extensions However, unlike IDCAC/ISDCAC, this functionality in uBlock Origin is not toggleable via the main UI. When cookie-related filter rules break a website, the current options are:
Both options are cumbersome and impractical for quick troubleshooting. Requested Feature Add a dedicated toggle in the main popup UI, for example: “Block cookie notices (EasyList/uBO)” ON / OFF Affects only cookie-notice-related filters, not other lists Global toggle; per-site toggle or whitelist would be a plus but not required Optional but desirable: A report mechanism, similar to IDCAC/ISDCAC Rationale / Benefits Feature parity with established cookie-banner extensions Faster diagnosis and mitigation of site breakage Avoids unnecessary full uBO deactivation Improves UX without changing filter logic or default behavior Summary A simple visible toggle for cookie-notice filters would improve day-to-day usability of uBlock Origin, with no security or performance downsides. Thank you for considering this request. — |

Any filter list can potentially cause breakage, so it doesn't make sense to add a toggle in the popup UI for just a specific list. And "Cookie Notices" lists aren't enabled by default. Specific filter lists can be easily and quickly enabled/disabled from the Filter lists pane. The proper way to diagnose filter issues is to use the tools provided by uBO, specifically the logger and DOM inspector. |

Yes, given that, the OP's feature request here is to have a possibility to selectively disable/enable specific filter lists on specific sites, therefore it's a duplicate of:

The Logger is the tool you should use to fix filter list issues. You can make temporary exceptions to find tge filter that's causing issues and make a new exception filter to disable it for the time being. Then you can report the site/filter to us so we can fix it for everybody. |
