Prerequisites

  • I verified that this is not a filter list issue. Report any issues with filter lists or broken website functionality in the uAssets issue tracker.
  • This is NOT a YouTube, Facebook or Twitch report. These sites MUST be reported by clicking their respective links.
  • I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue.
  • The issue is not present after disabling uBO in the browser.
  • I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I am reporting is not normal behavior.

I tried to reproduce the issue when...

  • uBO is the only extension.
  • using a new, unmodified browser profile.

Description

I have been on this page and opened uBlock Origin logger in Firefox. Found cookie-banner item, clicked it (because the cookie banner has been blocked on that page), and i have expected to see some options to for example skip blocking it. But the third column is empty ( does not contain "--", which would mean a blocked request according to https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/The-logger ) yet the yellow color signify some issue to me (uBLock fails to show some tooltip to clear this) - Details area shows two blocklists, but does not allow me to temporarily try to load the page without blocking (if happens) which i see as a problem which i hope may be fixed by you.

When i click on a code button on the top of the page (Toggle the DOM inspector - i would not click it because as a layman, i do not know what is DOM and i will likely forget it soon), i am able to find a cookie banner branch, clicking it will strike-through it and show a "filter" rule: www.ukrinform.net#@##cookie-banner which i add and page reloads and stops blocking the cookie banner. So this is how i have discovered what blocks certain element, but it is very layman unfriendly and i am writing this in hope that you can improve this so it is easier to find blocking and test unblocking it.

Expected behavior

layman friendly way to discover blocking and test unblocking

Actual behavior

layman unfriendly to find the cause
