I read the issue and nowhere does it mention consulting the logger -- a required step to rule out filter issues. Also, I fail to see how the provided screenshot is of any help.

[gorhill]

Volunteers can't help people un-willing to be helped and contribute back to help solve issues for all: long unproductive post with no sign of following the advice to look at the logger as first step.

I have disabled ALL FILTERS on UblockOrigin and still get the same issue

"Filter issues" implicitly include custom filters and rules. The logger is key.

Anyway, from this point on I will consider only information provided here, the posts on Pale contain nothing actionable.

[uBlock-user]

I personally consider the required conventions to post on github irrelevant in this specific situation and as such places an undue and unnecessary burden on the user posting the issue imho.

First he files a bug without filling required info, asks us to answer him on his choice of 3rd party forum as if we offer such service for him, when asked here to fill in bug report, ignores that purposefully and responds to that on that 3rd party forum, displaying his sense of entitlement. These are the kind of posters who I feel don't deserve any help from this tracker. He posted it there, so he should expect any help there itself.

uBlock isn't a very good Pale Moon extension because it isn't being considered or worked on as a Pale Moon extension merely a dead end legacy Firefox extension.

And yet that firefox-legacy branch (which point is to keep supporting more than just Pale Moon, i.e. Sea Monkey et al.) has more activity than ABPrime, and support modern filtering capabilities such as csp=, abp-contains, etc.

As I already said regarding the firefox-legacy branch, pull requests crafted with care are welcomed, so are positive contributions (example). Stating "isn't a very good Pale Moon extension" isn't a positive contribution, it's un-actionable.

I know the effect dismissive "support" has on a user and I been trying to improve on it. Shame @gorhill hasn't been doing the same.

@lakrsrool checked the "This is not a support issue or a question" item. The issue tracker is for actual issues with uBO. The idea is to not over-burden volunteers, and the rules in place are to protect the project from being run in the ground by over-burdening volunteers -- there is no "staff" here, just volunteers.

Consider the amount of invalid issues being opened despite these rules, so relaxing them is not going to help, the rules just force people to be more thorough on their side before opening issues, and as a result spread the workload of validating real issues to more people.

Thousands of issues have been dealt with since the project was first released, and this is your presence in the issue tracker, so for you to lecture how things should work here is a bit much.
