That's what I assumed as I don't remember seeing any other network request failing. But it fails on Edge too and that doesn't cause exclamation mark there. Version differences?

Maybe @AstroSkipper can modify the source to retrieve the list from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/master/filters/filters-2024.txt instead. It does exist there. (Has only 2 filters in it so far, but the year is quite young.)

Just a reminder, the reason for creating modded versions of uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2 apart from initial display errors in the dashboard was the performance problems while updating the selected filter lists and to get the more recent filter lists which were only offered by the webextensions of uBlock Originscratch_one-s_head.gif
@nicolaasjan If uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2 is sufficient for you and still working, use it! I will check this version once again the next days.

I have just tested this old, unmodified version uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2. Some important lists don't seem to be updated anymore. They have replaced the current timestamp of some lists by a variable %timestamp% to prevent that the old uBlock Origin Legacy extensions show out of date warnings. Here is a screenshot containing the first part of the legacy internal list with the title uBlock filters:

u-Block-Origin-Legacy-1-16-4-31b2-u-Bloc

Therefore, without any timestamp, the user is not able to judge whether the list is relatively up-to-date or not. :dubbio:

I will create another, fixed version of my previous mod uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2-1.49.2 in the next few days and also offer here. The internal list inside that version was still compatible with uBlock Origin Legacy when I created it. So everyone can decide for themselves how up-to-date they want to be. smilie_denk_24.gif

Thank you for looking into this!

For now, I reverted back to uBlock0_1.16.4.31b2.firefox-legacy with "uBlock₀ filters – Quick fixes" added in "Custom".

No ads any more.

Btw, here is a special adblock test video.

[Edit]

I didn't see your comment above until now, because I replied to an older post. :blushing:

I noticed the %timestamp% as well, but didn't realize what it implied...

[Edit2]

I still have a very recent entry of 2 days ago in my "uBlock filters" list here:

! https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/21690
xhardhempus.net##+js(no-setTimeout-if.js, adblock)

I have revised my opinion a little, as the list is apparently still being updated despite the unrecognisable timestamp. pendule.gif

@nicolaasjan The original, untouched version uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2 performs again properly the updating process of its filter lists (including the list filters-2024.txt) except for the list "Online Malicious URL Blocklist".

Did you also observe this error? :dubbio:In any case, I found the cause of this issue and had to also edit the code of this version to fix it. 0ordi.gif

As for my mod uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2-1.54.0, it worked properly last year but the changes the uBlock admins have performed in terms of the year 2024 at the end of 2023 cause unfortunately some problems when updating the filter list "uBlock filters - Ads".
I have to examine this issue more deeply the next days. g030.gif

Yes, the URL has to be changed.

Known issue (old post, so some things may have changed)

https://gitlab.com/malware-filter/urlhaus-filter#lite-version-online-links-only

I have added the proper URL to "Custom". :)

I use the Adguard one (see commit 402e2eb).

I use https://curbengh.github.io/malware-filter/urlhaus-filter-online.txt and have removed the obsolete link from rhe code of the internal list. BTW, from now on, I try to avoid GitLab links if possible. GitLab causes errors (see the uBlock Logger) as they force the user to login into their account.

Thanks for the tip! I added this filter list in "Custom", too. Works great.

Hmm...

Didn't encounter that here.

Btw, for these Malware filters you can also use these mirrors:
 

https://curbengh.github.io/malware-filter/urlhaus-filter-ag-online.txt

https://curbengh.github.io/phishing-filter/phishing-filter.txt

Youtube compatibility

AdGuard format may have less youtube issue.

I have just created a new mod of uBlock Origin Legacy. No copy and paste from the webextensions of uBlock Origin any longer due to incompatibilities. :no: All filter lists can now be updated properly, at least there are no errors at the moment. I removed the self-update mechanism of the internal list which contain the default filter lists. I added the filter list "uBlock filters – Quick fixes" to the default ones. Both, the new filter list "filters-2024.txt" and the one from last year "filters-2023.txt" are now inside the xpi file and can be retrieved correctly. From now on, we will get the update of these filters, too. Furthermore, I solved the annoyance with the timestamp of some filter lists. Now, the timestamps are shown correctly. Inside the xpi file, all filter lists have been replaced by the most recent ones to be more recent after installing without immediate updating. I am now in testing mode.

Cheers, AstroSkipper matrix.gif

Before releasing this new version, I have corrected my latest release uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2-1.54.0 from this post: 

Now, it is fully working. No problems any longer when updating the filter lists. The new filter list "filters-2024.txt" is now inside the xpi file and can be retrieved correctly. Inside the xpi file, all filter lists have been replaced by the most recent ones to be more recent after installing without immediate updating. Additionally, I lowered the minVersion for Pale Moon from 28.0 to 27.0 to also install it in New Moon 27 which, for example, @roytam1 seems to use. Please re-download this corrected release from the linked post above especially if you already downloaded the old one! Please, test this special version and report here! Any feedback is of course welcome! :)

The filter lists seem to behave well, but I still get YouTube ads...

(not happening with the old uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2)

Also "AdGuard URL Tracking Protection" with its $removeparam syntax is useless for uBO Legacy  (recognizes only 3, while there are 1382 a.t.m).

[Edit]

Maybe you could add "uBlock filters -- Legacy" as well.

It still gets an occasional update. :)

Thanks for your detailed feedback! The original idea for creating this build was to provide all filter lists from the webextension uBlock Origin in the extension uBlock Origin Legacy. That there are filter lists which are no longer fully compatible was expected. I just wanted to correct the version uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2-1.54.0. Any list which is not compatible shouldn't be enabled or should be disabled if not working properly. My next release will be an update version and mod of uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.31b2 itself with all filter lists that have already been their plus the list "uBlock filters – Quick fixes". :) In general, it is no problem to implement any filter lists into the code or to remove them from the code.
