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.
  • This is not a support issue or a question. For support, questions, or help, visit /r/uBlockOrigin.
  • 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.
  • uBO uses default lists and settings.
  • using a new, unmodified browser profile.

Description

hi, are there any plans to implement a "Reset" button on both "My filters" and "My rules" so we can clear them more easily?

something like this?

1

3

4

A specific URL where the issue occurs.

most of the time, I only want to reset filters or rules separetely so I can replace them with new ones.

also... on Android it gets extremely buggy when you try to clear them manually by selecting them, so this button would simplify things a lot.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. if you try to reset filters/rules on Android, it gets extremely buggy and it just doesn't work.

Expected behavior

it should be easy to reset them.

Actual behavior

it's not easy, specially on Android.

uBO version

1.59.0

Browser name and version

Firefox 129.0.2

Operating System and version

Windows 10 / Android

Isn't the main Reset button sufficient?

most of the time I only want to reset filters or rules separately so I can replace them with new ones.

using the main reset button is slow until it finishes loading and updating all the network filters (specially if you have enabled a large number of filter lists).

it would be far more efficient if each section had its own reset button.

(considering how bugged Android is, this is a win-win situation)

But on the other side, maybe it's too hard for unexperienced users to learn how to create good filters, so I don't know.

is everything okay at home, buddy?

if you don't want to expand the functionality of uBlock Origin and want to leave things the way they are now, then good for you.

you need to provide a real explanation why

you literally just showed me issues of different people that were unable to reset their filters/rules on Android, but for some reason you still seem to be against the idea of having a button that would easily fix this issue.

you're free to do whatever you want. 🤷
