@gorhill Sorry, can uBO support redirecting to noop XML with the format of VMAP and VAST?

Currently, Adguard is supporting noopvmap-1.0 and noopvast-2/3/4.0: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/Scriptlets/blob/master/wiki/about-redirects.md#-available-redirect-resources

With this we don't need to allow and replace the ads connection

@@||pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?*www.worldsurfleague.com$xhr,domain=imasdk.googleapis.com
||pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?*www.worldsurfleague.com$xhr,domain=imasdk.googleapis.com,replace=/<vmap:VMAP.+//

I have to use replace because somehow xml-prune and trusted-replace-xhr-response don't work (it still logs successfully but it doesn't have effects like replace: the ads connections still occur).

But I think redirection to noop VMAP / VAST resources is still better.

This link is better to test than OP's link: https://www.worldsurfleague.com/posts/503101/kelly-slater-lost-tapes-a-new-year?s1=watch

The filters needed to test is here:

[gorhill]

noop-vmap1.0.xml is already supported, see https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/blob/master/src/web_accessible_resources/noop-vmap1.0.xml. I can add the others.

[stephenhawk8054]

Confirm

||pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?*www.worldsurfleague.com$xhr,redirect=noop-vmap1.0.xml:5,domain=imasdk.googleapis.com

works for me.

uBlock Origin 1.59.1b18 + RU AdList

I found a problem in Firefox: https://fanserial.fun/748-kami-no-tou-2021-02-18-15-48/2-season/9-episode.html

When using ||v*.plrjs.org/*.xml$important,xmlhttprequest,redirect=noopvast-3.0 the player does not work, while in Google Chrome everything is fine. I had to add fanserial.fun,fanserialstv.net##+js(json-prune, *.preroll), but this fixes the problem only on a couple of sites, while I would like to apply a universal rule that will work correctly everywhere.

[gorhill]

Probably because of uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues#1222?

---

Actually the player is not broken on my side in Firefox, but then the filter is not reported in the logger, and I don't get requests matching plrjs.org/*.xml in the logger.

[dimisa-RUAdList]

In order for the rule ||v*.plrjs.org/*.xml$important,xmlhttprequest,redirect=noopvast-3.0 to work and break the player, you need to add the exception fanserial.fun,fanserialstv.net#@#+js(json-prune, *.preroll).

[gorhill]

Ok so I get:

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at data:text/xml;base64,PFZBU1QgdmVyc2lvbj0iMy4wIj48L1ZBU1Q+Cg==. (Reason: CORS request not http).

So same issue as uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues#1222.

[gorhill]

I can make it work with that filter:

fanserial.fun##+js(no-xhr-if, url:/v.*\.plrjs\.org\/.*\.xml/, war:noop-vast3.xml)

But can't make it a universal filter.

[dimisa-RUAdList]

The thing is, I'm trying to avoid site-specific fixes. This is a pretty popular player and there could be hundreds of sites like this. The idea was to use a single rule everywhere: ||v*.plrjs.org/*.xml$important,xmlhttprequest,redirect=noopvast-3.0

This can't be fixed? In Google Chrome this rule works perfectly. Using this rule in AdGuard + FF also does not cause any problems.

[gorhill]

Oops, I used the wrong link in comments, I meant same issue as uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues#1222. This can't be fixed (except by the browser, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1645683)
