URL shortener custom filter list does not work

Open m77e4t opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

A privacy focused custom filter list https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/master/LegitimateURLShortener.txt from https://github.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt does not work. It can be added in brave://adblock, but it does nothing. I added it in UBO, and it shortens or removes tracking parameters in a URL (it works in brave UBO extension). You can experiment/try it on these sites https://github.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/discussions/163#discussioncomment-715449.

The issue is slightly related to https://github.com/brave/adblock-rust/issues/166.

I think the current brave ad blocker can only make changes to webpage scripts/elements, but cannot do it to URL's in url/address bar.
