I managed to work around it by unchecking “wait with pageload until all the blocklist are loaded” in ublock origin. Seems to work like normal now, though I’m unsure if that is actually a fix. I guess it might have some negative side effects like some ads coming through.
Ah, i have it set to block 3rd party frames (anywhere, since almost only ad stuff uses this) and 3rd-party scripts (on mobile, breaks some things), probably that’s why.
I got a video that started playing which only had an arrow to expand but no x to close. It kept following while scrolling.
Not sure why my ad blocker didn’t block it.
Edit: after staying on the page for about a minute it just auto showed up
nothing on firefox with ublock origin here.
It takes a (short while to show ). I also have uBlock origin in my phone ( with fennec ) and it did show for me for some reason
huh, not showing up on mine. same setup: fennec with ublock origin.
i do have more blocklists than default selected in the settings though. the annoyances and cookie banner ones are specially good.
Oh hang on. My ad blocker was disabled. I turned it off to test something because my browser kept hanging when surfing the web on my phone.
It is related to ublock origin for some reason. Because the moment I turn it off I can browse like normal.
Case solved why I’m getting it :)
there it is!
about the hang, i have the same issue turns out its indeed related to fennec and ublock.
basically they are aware and we are waiting on the fennec team for the fix to roll out.

i’m using the screen off trick they mention in the thread. the fix is already done, i’m just waiting for the fixed point release to be pushed.
It’s time to switch to IronFox
I was on fennec, but I’ll have a look! :)
