That workaround works nicolaasjan, thanks (Pale Moon). Is it meant to enforce an IPv4 connection?
As for Android, there's really no need to mess with those hacks. The GitHub mirrors are perfectly fine.
If that website doesn't fix its web config, perhaps it's worth considering changing the main filterlist URL?

Thanks for the extra info, VistaLover! Firefox seems to somehow circumvent this bad server configuration issue.

Update: I think I've found the culprit. Turns out that after disabling the VPN, I was still unable to connect to void.gr which hosts this filterlist.
So, I went into the Network Connection properties and disabled IPv6. This solves it. Can't understand though why this issue suddenly emerged. I didn't change anything recently and IPv6 was always enabled there. Perhaps something is going on with the router.

Thanks, I tried other DNS servers: didn't work. I then enabled the VPN: it worked. Turned off VPN: still works. Weird glitch. Still unreachable in Android device. I'll also try a router restart.
I don't think there's another local filterlist. I will post if I find something.
For languages/countries not having separate AdGuard filterlists, the AdGuard main filterlist does include several neatly separated entries. Search for "NOTE: " (no quotes) and you will see them.

Ok, for some unknown reason my Pale Moon cannot reach void.gr. Already tried flushing DNS and clearing history/cookies.
I'll just use the githubusercontent.com URL as a custom list for now.
edit: my Android device cannot reach it either. But desktop Firefox can. Perhaps they are using some over-zealous security configuration.

Thanks for checking. That link does not work here on Pale Moon, but it works on Firefox.

Something unusual seems to be going on with the Greek AdBlock Filter (included in the Regions, languages section). The link to the filterlist stopped working since a few days. It also stopped working on Firefox/WebExtension (same link). As of today however, it works on FF again but not on UXP browsers/uBO Legacy.
This alternative URL found on filterlists.com seems to work fine. Not sure why this happens.

Good tip! I think the filterlist+userscript(s) are actually meant to be used together, even though unfortunately this combination remains somewhat less powerful than their browser extension. It mostly works fine though.

Yes, you are most probably right. I recall this being a newer feature. Good thing we have two excellent extensions (that I know of) to deal with this:
CleanLinks2 and Pure URL

To check whether the filter list that removes URL tracking parameters works, just run a simple test:
https://fmarier.org/query-filter/
If the "fbclid" parameter is missing everything is OK.
Not sure how this test is supposed to work. It always shows the URL you posted, with no extra parameters. This also occurs on a clean profile, with no extensions installed.
It's always a blank page with the text: "Look in the URL bar for the presence of a query string parameter."... and just the clean URL.

... one of the things that stood out to me were filters using $removeparam, AdGuard URL Tracking Filter list uses those exclusively for removing tracking parameters from URLs when navigating web pages.
Thanks. I guess this is good news, since removing tracking parameters isn't strictly ad-blocking, right? It's important, yes, but at least we can rest assured for now, that ads won't suddenly start appearing on us and that uBO Legacy still remains extremely effective, notwithstanding running behind the WebExtension.
Update: perhaps we should contact AdGuard to provide compatible filters.

Is there a particular feature from the WebExtension that stands out in those invalid -for uBO Legacy- entries?
In other words: is there a particular feature that should be clearly the first one to be ported over to uBO Legacy? Or it's a complex combination of features, and we cannot easily pick one out?

Open the logger and perform an update of your filter lists in the legacy version! Then you will see what I am talking about.
What are we looking for? I didn't notice any particular warnings about filterlist incompatibilities.

And now a tip for maintaining your uBlock Origin installation.
I've noticed this too, however I'm not sure if it's really worth it. This procedure will indeed reduce its size at first, but it will very soon increase back to its usual, larger size which in my case is around 80MB.
Not sure how soon that is, but it usually doesn't take more than a day.2 -
About Bypass Paywalls Clean: official news and updated versions, here:

Not sure if the filterlist is included in the provided archive (seems to be complete) and how it can be included/updated in our browsers.

The bypass paywalls clean filter cant be updated. No idea why.
Looks like that user account has been blocked on GitLab, so the filterlist doesn't update any more.
Thanks for the update, AstroSkipper!

Perhaps you could consider to split topics and keep custom buttons and extensions separate, to tidy things up, make them easier to find and read and avoid potential confusion.

It may also happen if someone else added a reply meanwhile.

I'd like to report a bug: ublock is detected here even with a list with anti-adblock https://www.ovagames.com/
This doesnt happen with the normal ublock on firefox.
Not seeing that here. This is more likely related with the filterlists used than with uBO itself. Make sure your filterlists are updated, and try alternative or better ones. I am not even using a specific anti-adblock list.

Great news, AstroSkipper! Thanks for your continued work on uBlock Origin Legacy.

It's been some time that both Annoyances lists (AdGuard/EasyList) have been split into sub-categories. It'd be great if you could bring this to the Legacy version!
These lists are often involved in website breakage, and having sub-categories would make it easier to enable/disable unwanted stuff. Of course, I don't know if these newer sub-categories are fully compatible with Legacy. I'd expect them to, since the "main" Annoyances list I assume is the sum of all smaller sub-categories.(I've seen references to an "Annoyances bug" in older posts, but I'm not sure what that was/is.)

That is of course to be expected. And I mentioned that several times.
Ok, thanks. I thought that was only to be done once, for upgrading from 1.16.4.30. Good to know.

Thank you for the new version, AstroSkipper!
I updated from 1.16.4.32 but the new lists did not appear. Full uninstall (deleting ublock0.sqlite) and reinstall made them appear. I guess this is expected?

Version 1.16.4.32 works flawlessly - thanks again! Since uBO Legacy is important for many, many users I hope you will consider in the future uploading it somewhere where it can be easily installed and kept automatically up to date (e.g. Pale Moon Add-ons Site, GitHub or wherever you see fit).
A suggestion for your consideration! There is a nice little improvement in the webextension, in the "Trusted sites" section. Default entries there have a different color and are separately sorted from the user-created entries. In the Legacy version, everything is thrown in together which can be a little confusing if many entries are present.
Not an earth-shattering feature, but if it's easy to implement it'd be nice to have.
