Auto update filter list / add back purge button #3263
Comments
It's not "far from the truth", it is exactly how it works. |
Well that must be pure coincidence that it never fixes on it's own and i have to do what purge button used to do, but someone knew better. |
Even after waiting for several "1 hour" parts it didn't refresh the lists therefore same problem until i purged it myself |
As far I know filter lists are updated every 5 hours, and uBO checks every 1 hour whether there are updated filter lists available, one should not confuse checking interval (every 1h) with filter lists updating interval (every 5h): By the way, there are main/official threads for "Purge button" related discussion: As far I know the current approach instead of the old "Purge button", is that uBO devs should provide you a quick hot-fix link if there are some unfixed hot issues, which (the hot-fix link) will instantly update the necessary filter list for you, such hot-fix links, if necessary, are provided in the big cummulative official threads: |
Duplicate of #3090 |
It's still not guaranteed to work for Chromium-based browsers. It's possible that just forcing a webpage reload yourself after uBO shows as ready would fix your issue. |
Yes, it's also mentioned in documentation, I'm just providing some links:
It seems OP mixes two different cases of why ads leak for him, as some leaking / breakages might be unrelated to filter list updates (every 5 hour), they might be caused by Chromium's unability to filter ads at browser launch, even despite an user already has his filter lists up to date, in such case it's another duplicate of: |
It's impossible to investigate exactly your problem if you are not very specific about it. There are no widespread reports of the issue you mention. I personally never ever force a manual update and do not suffer the issue you mention (using Firefox). Provide a lot of details of what the "problem" is, which exact webpage, what exactly is wrong on that webpage, troubleshooting information, how many extensions you use, whether this occurs at browser launch, etc. |
Yes, lack of information from OP to properly diagnose.
No need to unselect & select anything: just simply clicking filter list clock icons should be sufficient to force differential update immediately if available, unless you want to say that clicking clock icons doesn't work for you. |
Oh right, just click 37 times instead of 74, UI design of the century |
It was not supposed to be a solution for your issue, it's only a 2x faster version of your wrong workaround, while it stll doesn't solve your main issue, it at least halves its nuisance, better than nothing.
And it has nothing to do with UI design, we already told you in previous comments that in normal conditions uBO should check for new filter lists automatically every hour (in practice real update occurs every 5 hours), and we said that if auto update fails for you, this indicates the occurrence of some kind of malfunction on your side, we can't investigate it without more details from you. Maybe you should try to reproduce your issue on other browsers, for example Chrome instead of Brave, to rule out a possibility that your issue is related to Brave. Have you done it already? You should have done it already before reporting your issue....nobody knows whether you did it or not, because you didn't mention about it, hence we have to assume you still didn't. While uBO officially supports Chrome, it doesn't necessarily mean that there won't be problems on other Chromium forks, because other forks might contain modifications which can interfere with uBO and which uBO can't predict. Once you confirm that your issue still occurs in Chrome, we can try to continue to solve your issue.
Unless you mean not the issue with auto-update broken on your side, but you mean that 1 hour / 5 hours check / update intervals is still insufficient for you, in such case you should continue your discussion in official threads mentioned in LINK to not mix your auto-update malfunction issue with the whole auto-update / purge button discussion, as they are two separate things. |
key word should |
It all has been explained in details why the button was removed, and how people who do not understand how things work ended up thinking the button was magically creating filters out of thin air. I can't inject into people's head understanding of all the intricacies of filter lists update if they still do not understand after reading the documentation. If you still think you understand more than we do after reading the documentation, then it means you do not trust that we know what we are doing, in which case best is that you uninstall uBO and find something that suits you better. Locking this thread, we do not need to keep repeating what has already been said, and we do not need to endless notifications leading nowhere on an already closed issue. |
Prerequisites
I tried to reproduce the issue when...
Description
I read that there is automatic filter update every hour, however thats far from the truth, whenever i visit site that updates their ad strategy often, it is either broken or ads shows up, before i used to just purge and update all lists in 2 clicks, now i have to unselect every single one, click apply, select every single one again and click update, just because someone decided that the button was unused.
I use this option too "Suspend network activity until all filter lists are loaded"
A specific URL where the issue occurs.
Steps to Reproduce
Expected behavior
Either ublock updates all the lists on start or after couple minutes which would fix the problem right there
Or
purge button could be back so i can do it in 2 clicks instead of 30
Actual behavior
ads show, partly broken but still visible and obstructing

1.58.0
Browser name and version
Brave 1.66.118 Chromium: 125.0.6422.147 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Operating System and version
