AdGuard divvied up annoyance filters

[wavygecko]

Prerequisites

• I verified that this is not a filter issue (MUST be reported at filter issue tracker)
• This is not a support issue or a question
• I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue
• The issue is not present after wholly disabling uBlock Origin ("uBO") in the browser
• I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I report is not a normal behavior

I tried to reproduce the issue when...

• uBO is the only extension
• uBO with default lists/settings
• using a new, unmodified browser profile

Description

AdGuard recently divvied up their Annoyances list into five new lists:

1. Cookie Notices — blocks cookie notices on web pages
2. Popups — blocks all kinds of pop-ups that are not necessary for websites' operation
3. Mobile App Banners — blocks banners that promote mobile apps of websites
4. Widgets — blocks third-party widgets: online assistants, live support chats, etc.
5. Other Annoyances — blocks elements that do not fall under the popular categories of annoyances

Would it make sense to include these in uBlock Origin in the same way that EasyList Cookie and Fanboy's Social are included alongside Fanboy's Annoyance?

Maybe possible add margin-left (or "margin-start" https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/margin-inline-start) for list embedded in bigger:

(Draft with MD check list)

• AG Annoyances
  • Cookie Notices
  • Popups
  • Mobile app banners
  • Widgets
  • Others Annoyances (undefined in other categories)
• Fanboy Annoyances
  • Fanboy Social
  • Easylist Cookies

(Fanboy's don't create file without Cookies and Social - uBo mirror added support for split)

I think margin need update logic or CSS so need uBo 1.44.1+ to avoid use second level of collapsing list with undocumented scenario.

[wavygecko]

The nested list suggestion is interesting. Would selecting the parent automatically disable/gray-out its children? (or perhaps that's too much hand-holding and there's value in being able to select them both for debugging something?)

[krystian3w]

Latest uBo generate classes "checked", so this can be used to disable click on smaller part of list (and stylize input) by only CSS, but don't generate pop-up with information for newbies why selection are disabled (this works better after use JS).

[I don't checked unsupported version older than uBO legacy - these may don't generate "checked" class - if still support remote update assets].

But idea can by dropped due uBo ignore duplicates.

At this time I cannot estimate how much time and effort one or both activities will take for gorhill or contributors after green light to wirte these by other people and check quality of solution.

Later all issue can be closed due nobody need smaller versions and no have real reason to delete AG in favor Fanboy's.

Wasn't this declined few days ago? Déjà vu?

[wavygecko]

I couldn't find anything related to this when I searched the issues, but it's possible I missed it!

Wasn't this declined few days ago? Déjà vu?

On Reddit? We don't have access to slack and uBlock-volunteer team.

possible I missed it!

IMO not on GitHub, prerequisites no talking to research on Reddit or hack hidden places.

[Yuki2718]

I proposed the same on internal discussion https://github.com/orgs/uBlockOrigin/teams/ublock-filters-volunteers/discussions/421 but not declined.

[krystian3w]

So maybe missed as weird.

As public possible read opinion about consideration disable joining files into big one: AdguardTeam/FiltersRegistry#718

addressed in dev build.

Fanboy added a new Agegate List.
