    Ah.....then the rule needs to be added.

    Try this website and see if the script with the arrow is blocked by ublock Origin.
    PB blocks it.


    https://www.farmacosmo.it/

    https://ibb.co/RyxZjsF

    If it is not blocked I will write you the 3p-rule.

    The 3-p rule would be better as you can see in rdsu's post:

    Code:
    ||news.google.com/swg/$script,3p

    @mantra,
    I don't know about other browsers than Firefox.
    In Firefox, it's in Settings/ Privacy & Security/ Permissions/ Autoplay/ Settings. There you can block audio and video autoplay.
    For other browsers, I guess you must look for something similar, but perhaps it is quite different, I cannot tell you.
    If you mention which browser you use, perhaps someone can tell you what to look for.

    If disabling autoplay doesn't help, perhaps you're seeing animated GIFs, or MP4 video used as animated images. Usually, those can be blocked by a rule created using the uBlock Origin element picker.

    If you have difficulties blocking the videos that you mentioned, please let us know which webpages, which videos, which browser, and what you tried already.
    Good luck. :thumb:

    I in the meantime analyzed a lot of other websites.
    Amazon,NYT,Temu,NextFlix,AliExpress,WP........
    No problem.

    I am tired, but very satisfied.:thumb:;):)

    In Firefox, you can block audio and video autoplay, as I mentioned.
    For other browsers, perhaps someone else can tell you what settings you need.

    And as I said, if disabling autoplay doesn't help, perhaps you may be seeing animated GIFs or MP4 video used as animated images. Usually, those can be blocked by a rule created using the uBlock Origin element picker.

    If you have difficulties blocking the videos, please let us know which webpages, which videos, in which browser you have difficulties blocking videos, and most importantly, what you tried already.
    Without such information, no one will be able to help, I'm afraid.

    seal.min.js from digicert is blocked from privacy badger, edge 132. in firefox not shown. not sure but it could be firefox blocking it with its own block list.

    I have been asked what is the reason for taking this double test (Sampei test :D).

    I think it has become necessary considering that successfully passing the Cover You Tracks (EFF) test alone is too easy.
    Another reason is due to the fact that the more “symbolic” tests found on the Internet have been disabled/archived.

    There are a lot of websites that have the tracker,blocked by Privacy Bager,and with my filter lists not blocked by uBlock Origin,shown with the red arrow in the image:

    https://ibb.co/HTrHn4r

    https://www.mediaite.com/

    In this case entering the rule is easy with the uBlock Origin log.
    So I added a total of 3 third-party rules + this rule referring to YT.

    :thumb: Interesting tests ✔
    I've been using both for a long time and browsing in FF works very well for me. They get along well. What one doesn't catch, the other does.;)

    firefox+adguard+badger, but none of them blocks play.google because its not requested. my testing profile points out, that adguard with MY rules+lists is blocking something which loads play.google afterwards.

    seems that youtube base.js is initiating this, so tell firefox.
    adguard blocks XHR calls from that file.
