Available URL-specific sanitized redirect resources (surrogates)

General purpose scriptlets

  • Most scriptlet relies on Object properties (methods), altering them may not be the best idea (you should know what you are doing).
  • Some properties related more to browser APIs rather than JS language built-ins can behave in unexpected way. For example browser can override them without scriptlet noticing this. Keep this in mind when using them in scriptlet injection filers.
  • "Optional" for "string/regular expression" parameter defaults to "catch all" (/.?/) if not specified.
  • "String" parameter means plain character(s)/word(s), quotes will be taken literally, commas must be escaped in regex literals: /foo\x2cbar\u002cbaz/, after 1.22.0 commas can be escaped by backslash character (foo\,bar).
  • "Regular expression" parameter means JavaScript regular expression literal.
  • Mime type is application/javascript if not present.
  • You can use the short alias form when available for scriptlet name.
  • You should omit the .js from the scriptlet name in scriptlet injection filters (eventually in some future this will be the official way to do this).
    • Do not skip .js when the scriptlet is used with redirect=, only when used in +js(...).
  • Crossed out resources are deprecated/removed.
  • Starting with 1.46.1b17 support for regex-based values as target domain has been added. Use sparingly, when no other solution is practical from a maintenance point of view -- keeping in mind that uBO has to iterate through all the regex-based values, unlike plain hostname or entity-based values which are mere lookups. Related discussion: uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues#2234. Example: /img[a-z]{3,5}\.buzz/##+js(nowoif).
  • The usage of named arguments is optional, positional arguments are still supported as documented. Named arguments is required to use "log" and/or "debug" arguments.
  • The logging/debugging capabilities work only in the dev build of uBO or if the advanced setting filterAuthorMode is set to true.
  • Starting with 1.57.3b1, the old method of displaying scriptlets's logs in browser's dev console and via (log, 1) tokens is deprecated:
    • now all scriptlets's logging output is automatically displayed in the logger & the logger's console pane.
    • in the logger, toggling labels info and error in filter input field can be used to reduce information displayed in the logger to informations and errors, including scriptlets, and with additional not operator selected, the opposite effect can be achieved.
    • in the logger's console pane, toggling additionally verbose mode button, will cause console pane to print more logs from scriptlets.
    • by default, scriptlets will print out only calls and informations related to their orders and targets,
      to log all calls without defusing any of them, a scriptlet without parameters can be used, example: wikipedia.org##+js(aeld)
    • related discussions: uBlockOrigin/uAssets/discussions/17907 and uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/discussions/3096
  • The only filter lists deemed from a "trusted source" are uBO-specific filter lists (i.e. "uBlock filters -- ..."). The user's own filters from "My filters" are trusted only in the dev build of uBO. This behaviour can be overridden with the advanced setting trustedListPrefixes.
  • Tokens are parameters which modify the behavior of a scriptlet, they must be used after the required and optional parameters.

acs.js /

abort-current-script.js /

acis.js /

abort-current-inline-script.js ↪

Aborts execution of inline script (throws ReferenceError) when attempts to access specified property when text content or src attribute value (new in 1.37.0) of <script> element matches specified text or regular expression.

Note that acis.js and abort-current-inline-script.js aliases are deprecated and can be removed in the future.

Parameters:

  • required, property (chain of properties joined by .) attached to window object accessed inside <script> tag we want to break
  • optional, string/regular expression matching in <script> element content
  • optional, new in 1.37.0, string/regular expression matching in the decoded value of the src attribute of the <script> tag, when the attribute content is not a remote network address, but the actual inline script URL-encoded or base64-endcoded as a data: URI

Examples:

  • weristdeinfreund.de##+js(acis, Number.isNaN)
  • tichyseinblick.de##+js(acis, Math, /\}\s*\(.*?\b(self|this|window)\b.*?\)/)

Starting with 1.48.5b4, you can use the logging abilites. (deprecated)
(read about the new method of logging scriptlets)

Tokens:

  • log, 1: output useful information at the dev console. (deprecated)
  • debug, 1: break at key locations in the scriptlet.

aopr.js /

abort-on-property-read.js ↪

Aborts execution of script (throws ReferenceError) when attempts to read specified property. Writes are ignored.

Parameters:

  • required, property (chain of properties joined by .) attached to window object

Examples:

  • tagesspiegel.de##+js(aopr, Notification)

Also see:

aopw.js /

abort-on-property-write.js ↪

Aborts execution of script (throws ReferenceError) when attempts to write specified property.

Parameters:

  • required, property (chain of properties joined by .) attached to window object that will be overwritten

Examples:

  • yggtorrent.*##+js(aopw, Fingerprint2)

aost.js /

abort-on-stack-trace.js ↪

Experimental, under development

New in 1.29.3rc9

Aborts execution of script (throws ReferenceError) when attempts to access specified property when stack trace matches specified text or regular expression. Internal discussion

Parameters:

  • required, property (chain of properties joined by .) to trap in order to launch the stack trace matching code, ex. Math.random
  • optional, string/regular expression, the needle to match against the stack trace. If the empty string, only log. Prepend pattern with ! to test for unmatched patterns in stack trace (New in 1.51.1b6)

Tokens:

  • "log":
    • all: log stack trace for all access to trapped property
    • match: log stack trace for defused access to trapped property
    • nomatch: log stack trace for non-defused access to trapped property

Stack trace is normalized, but there still can be differences (Chromium vs Firefox) because of different format of stack trace.

There is a special string which can be used to match inline script context - inlineScript.

Though the stack trace is rendered in the console using new line to separate the stack trace lines, internally \t is used. The reason is to be more easily be able to create regex-based needle when using regex . character class.

The stack trace is prepended with stackDepth:... in order to allow to filter on stack depth, however higher depth values can likely differ between Chromium and Firefox.

Firefox often reports injectedScript, attempt has been made to convert entries in Chromium which seems to correspond to this, so that both browser families will report injectedScript.

The column value is normalized to 1, however there is too much discrepancy between browser families for that value to be of any use.

Filtering according to reported line numbers (...:1234:1), will not be reliable for inline scripts, since the line at which those inline scripts are located will vary from one page to another. It should be reliable for when the stack trace entry is for code in a JS file.

aeld.js /

addEventListener-defuser.js ↪

Prevents attaching event listeners.

Parameters (when using positional arguments):

  • optional, string/regular expression, name of the event listener to defuse
  • optional, string/regular expression matching in stringified handler function, narrows down defusing to specific handler

Examples:

  • vev.io##+js(aeld, adb.updated)
  • newser.com##+js(aeld, load, Object)
  • vivo.sx##+js(aeld, , preventDefault)
  • vidto.me##+js(aeld, /^(?:click|mousedown|mousemove|touchstart|touchend|touchmove)$/, system.popunder)

Tokens:

  • "runAt": when this parameter is present, uBO will take it into account to possibly defer defusing the event listener (New in 1.49.3b4):
    • end: execute scriptlet at DOMContentLoaded event ("interactive")
    • idle: execute scriptlet at load event ("complete")
  • "elements": if present, will be used to apply the scriptlet to only elements matching the selector (New in 1.55.1b1)
    • must be a valid CSS selector (also window and document elements can be used as a selector (New in 1.58.1b5))
  • "debug": an integer value telling when to break into the debugger, useful to inspect the debugger's call stack.
    • 1: break into the debugger when both type and pattern match, so effectively when defusing is taking place.
    • 2: break into the debugger when either type or pattern matches.
● "log": (deprecated)

▬▬► SPOILER START ◄▬▬

  • "log": an integer value telling when to log (see uBlockOrigin/uAssets#17907):
    • 1: log only when both type and pattern matches, i.e. when a call to addEventListener() is defused
    • 2: log when either the type or pattern matches
    • 3: log all calls to addEventListener()

Examples:

  • wikipedia.org##+js(aeld, /mouse/, /.^/, log, 2)
  • wikipedia.org##+js(aeld, , /.^/, log, 2)
  • wikipedia.org##+js(aeld, , , log, 1)
  • wikipedia.org##+js(aeld, _, , log, 3)

The first filter will log calls to addEventListener() which have the pattern "mouse" in the event type (so "mouseover", "mouseout", etc.) without defusing any of them (because pattern can't match anything).

The second filter will log all calls without defusing any of them (because type can't match anything).

The third filter will log and defuse all calls to addEventListener()

The fourth filter will log all calls to addEventListener() without defusing any of them

▬▬► SPOILER END ◄▬▬

(read about the new method of logging scriptlets)

Examples:

  • jpvhub.com##+js(aeld, click, popMagic, runAt, idle)
  • subkade.ir##+js(aeld, click, return"undefined", elements, a.indirect)
  • wikipedia.org##+js(aeld)

The third filter will log all calls to addEventListener() without defusing any of them

addEventListener-logger.js ↪

Removed in 1.48.1b3.

Logs to the console event listeners created on page.

The logging or debugging of addEventListener() calls can now be done with the addEventListenerDefuser scriptlet, which now supports named arguments.

Also see: AdGuard log-addEventListener

remove-cookie.js /

cookie-remover.js ↪

Removes current page cookies specified by name. For current domain, wildcard (dot) subdomain(s), after 1.28.0 also for domain one level above www, current and / path, script accessible (HttpOnly=false), on load and before unload.

Caveats: cookies set for higher level domain will not be removed. For example, if current page domain is page.example.com, cookies set for example.com will not be removed. One exception is www subdomain, which will work after 1.28.0.

Parameters:

  • optional, string/regular expression, matching in the name of the cookie

Tokens:

  • "when": when this parameter is present, it adds ability to trigger cookie removal on specific events (with delay 500ms):
    • when "when" is not present: executes on page load and before unload
    • scroll: executes when scrolling page (since 1.53.5rc3)
    • keydown: executes when key pressed (since 1.53.5rc4)

Examples:

Parameters:

  • required, valid Content Security Policy directive

call-nothrow.js ↪

New in 1.48.1b0.

Prevents a call to an existing function from throwing an exception. It encloses existing functions in this block and ignores the exception:

try {
 [existing function]
}
catch() {
 [ignore when throws]
}

It will return undefined because returning variable is never set.

The exception will be caught by the scriptlet and neutralized. The first argument must be a reference to a function call. At the moment, the function call must exist at the time the scriptlet is called.

Parameters:

  • required, a reference to a function call

Examples:

  • example.com##+js(call-nothrow, Object.defineProperty)

Also see:

disable-newtab-links.js ↪

Prevents creating new tabs/windows by deactivating links with target attribute.

Parameters:

  • none

Examples:

  • there.to##+js(disable-newtab-links)

To prevent new tabs/windows by specifying the location URL, see: window-close-if.js

Also see:

evaldata-prune.js ↪

New in 1.49.3rc15

Intercepts calls to eval() and will work only if what is passed to eval can be parsed as JSON.

For parameters, see: json-prune

When no "prune paths" argument (first parameter) is provided, the scriptlet is used for logging purpose and the "needle paths" argument (second parameter) is used to filter logging output.

Examples:

  • m.nivod4.tv##+js(evaldata-prune, entity.commercial)

json-prune.js ↪

New in 1.23.0

Intercepts calls to JSON.parse() and Response.json()New in 1.31.0. If the result of the parsing is an Object, remove specified properties from the result before returning to the caller.

Parameters:

  • optional, string, a list of space-separated properties to remove
  • optional,
    • string, a list of space-separated properties which must be all present for the pruning to occur; OR
    • string/regular expression, for logging purposes, matching in stringified JSON payloads (New in 1.27.0)
  • optional, string or regular expression that must match the current function call stack trace (New in 1.51.1b5). Prepend pattern with ! to test for unmatched patterns in stack trace (New in 1.51.1b6)

A property in a list of properties can be a chain of properties, example: adpath.url.first.

After 1.28.0, two special "wildcard tokens" have been added:

  • []: iterate in all elements in an array. To deal with cases where the property to remove is an element in an array. To remove adserver object properties from array in following JSON payload:

      {"playlist": [{"adserver": "first"},{"adserver": "second"}]}

    Use:

      +js(json-prune, playlist.[].adserver)

  • *: iterate through all own properties of an object. For example, to deal with hard to predict random-named properties. To remove adserver object properties from inside randomly named objects in following JSON payload:

      {"playlist": {"random1": {"adserver": "first"}, "randomB": {"adserver": "second"}}}

    Use:

     +js(json-prune, playlist.*.adserver)

Version 1.57.0 extend syntax with two special token properties:

  • [-]: remove an array entry if part right of [-] matches the inspected item.
  • {-}: remove a property if part right of {-} matches the inspected item.

When used without parameters, will log current hostname + json payload to the console.
New in 1.27.0 - second parameter can be used to limit logging to JSON payloads which stringified content match specified string or regular expression.

Tokens:

  • log, ...: This extends logging capabilities of json-prune scriptlet as follows: ...##+js(json-prune, a, b, stackNeedle, log, [logneedle], logstack, 1). Whereas before, the only way to log json-prune usage was to skip providing the property chain: ...##+js(json-prune, , b) Where b was the expression to filter out logging output. With the extended logging capabilities, the logging output can be filtered out with logneedle, which can be a regex literal. Additionally, to log the stack trace the stackNeedle argument must be set to non-empty string. You can use /.^/ to log the stack trace without matching it (New in 1.51.1b5).

Examples:

  • youthhealthmag.com##+js(json-prune, unit_list)
  • winfuture.de##+js(json-prune, adtagparameter, enabled)
  • imgsen.com##+js(json-prune, *, showTrkURL) - will remove everything when needle matches, new in 1.35

Tokens:

  • log, 1 (deprecated, read about the new method of logging scriptlets)
  • logdoc, 1: Dumps the whole document being worked on to the console

Examples:

m3u-prune.js ↪

New in 1.44.5b6

Sometimes sites serve real video content and video ads all in one place inside .m3u8 files. You can use m3u-prune to remove those ad segments.

Examples:

  • player.theplatform.com##+js(m3u-prune, tvessaiprod.nbcuni.com, /theplatform\.com\/.*?\.m3u8/)
  • mephimtv.cc##+js(m3u-prune, /#EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY(.|\n){1\,100}#EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY/gm, mixed.m3u8)

If the first argument is a regex with multine flag set, the scriptlet will execute the regex against the whole text, and remove matching text from the whole text (New in 1.47.5b10).

If the matching text does not contain whole lines, the text won't be removed, i.e. it is not allowed to remove only part of a line.

remove-attr.js ↪

Deprecated by :remove-attr()

Filter authors must use the new operator instead of the +js() counterpart.

Removes attribute(s) from DOM tree node(s). By default will run only once when the initial HTML document has been completely loaded and parsed but sub-resources such as scripts, images, stylesheets and frames are still loading.

Parameters:

  • required, attribute or list of attributes joined by |
  • optional, CSS selector, specifies nodes from which attributes will be removed
  • optional, new in 1.33, one or more space-separated tokens dictating the behavior of the scriptlet
    • asap: added in 1.36.1b2, execute as soon as possible, do not wait for DOM to become available.
    • stay: This tells the scriplet to stay active and act on document changes.
    • complete: This tells the scriplet to start acting only when the document is complete, i.e. once all secondary resources have been loaded.

New in 1.26.0.

Removes classes from DOM tree node(s). By default will run only once after page load. Syntax based on remove-attr.js

Parameters:

  • required, class name or list of class names joined by |
  • optional, CSS selector, specifies nodes from which classes should be removed
  • optional, new in 1.36, one or more space-separated tokens dictating the behavior of the scriptlet

trusted-rpnt.js /

trusted-replace-node-text.js ↪

Trusted scriptlet

New in 1.49.3b16

Replace text instance(s) with another text instance inside specific DOM nodes.

By default, the scriptlet will bail out when the document itself has been fully loaded, i.e. when DOMContentLoaded event is fired.

The mutation observer of this scriptlet can be a significant overhead for pages with dynamically updated DOM, and in most cases the scriptlet is useful only for DOM changes occurring before the DOMContentLoaded event, so the default is to quit out when that event is received ("quit out" means discarding the mutation observer and having the scriptlet garbage-collected by the JS engine).

Parameters:

  • required, the name of the node for which the text content must be substituted. Valid node names can be found at: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Node/nodeName
  • required, a string or regex to find in the text content of the node as the target of substitution
  • optional, the replacement text. Can be omitted if the goal is to delete the text which matches the pattern. Cannot be omitted if extra pairs of parameters have to be used (see below)

Tokens:

  • includes, pattern: A string or regex which must be found in the text content of the node in order for the substitution to occur
  • excludes, pattern: A string or regex which must not be found in the text content of the node in order for the substitution to occur
  • sedCount, n: This will cause the scriptlet to stop after n instances of substitution. Since a mutation oberver is used by the scriptlet, it's advised to stop it whenever it becomes pointless. Default to zero, which means the scriptlet never stops
  • stay, 1: Force the scriptlet to stay at work forever
  • quitAfter, ms: This tells the scriptlet to quit ms milliseconds after the page has been loaded, i.e. after the DOMContentLoaded event has been fired
  • log, 1: This will cause the scriptlet to output information at the console, useful as a debugging tool for filter authors
    (deprecated, read about the new method of logging scriptlets)

Examples:

  • example.com##+js(rpnt, #text, /^Advertisement$/)
  • example.com##+js(rpnt, #text, Example Domain, Changed, condition, Example, stay, 1)
  • example.com##+js(rpnt, script, /devtoolsDetector\.launch\(\)\;/, , sedCount, 1)

remove-node-text.js ↪

New in 1.49.3rc15

Remove the whole text of a DOM node.

By default, the scriptlet will bail out when the document itself has been fully loaded, i.e. when DOMContentLoaded event is fired.

The mutation observer of this scriptlet can be a significant overhead for pages with dynamically updated DOM, and in most cases the scriptlet is useful only for DOM changes occurring before the DOMContentLoaded event, so the default is to quit out when that event is received ("quit out" means discarding the mutation observer and having the scriptlet garbage-collected by the JS engine).

Parameters:

Optionally, extra pairs of parameters (tokens) can be used to modify the behavior of the scriptlet.

Tokens:

  • includes, pattern: A string or regex which must be found in the text content of the node in order for the removing to occur
  • excludes, pattern: A string or regex which must not be found in the text content of the node in order for the removing to occur
  • sedCount, n: This will cause the scriptlet to stop after n instances of removing. Since a mutation oberver is used by the scriptlet, it's advised to stop it whenever it becomes pointless. Default to zero, which means the scriptlet never stops
  • stay, 1: Force the scriptlet to stay at work forever

trusted-replace-outbound-text.js ↪

Trusted scriptlet

New in 1.57.1b1

(currently alias trusted-rpot is unsupported yet)

Replace the text in the outbound function call.

Parameters:

  • required, a name of method for which the text content must be substituted
  • required, a string or regex to match in the outbound text as the target of substitution,
    if not provided or empty, the scriptlet will only log the outbound text without modifying it.
  • optional, the replacement string for the matched part,
    can be omitted if the goal is to delete the text which matches the pattern.

Tokens:

  • condition, pattern: is a vararg which tells the scriptlet to act only if pattern is found in the argument to overwrite.
  • encoding, base64: Decode and encode outbound base64 text before and after replacement. 1.58.1b3

Examples:

  • www.reddit.com##+js(trusted-replace-outbound-text, JSON.stringify) (logging only)
  • www.reddit.com##+js(trusted-replace-outbound-text, JSON.stringify, '/"csrf_token":"[^"]+",/')
    matches and removes: "csrf_token":"ed5ce21c7d7c95c8662c7844c0f4a4dc", from the JSON payload
  • www.reddit.com##+js(trusted-replace-outbound-text, JSON.stringify, '/(?<="csrf_token":")[^"]+?(?=")/') or
    www.reddit.com##+js(trusted-replace-outbound-text, JSON.stringify, '/("csrf_token":")(?:[^"]+?)(")/', /$1$2/)
    matches ed5ce21c7d7c95c8662c7844c0f4a4dc or any similiar value in "csrf_token":"..." and removes it resulting in empty value: "csrf_token":""
  • www.reddit.com##+js(trusted-replace-outbound-text, JSON.stringify, '/(?<="adblock":{"enabled":)true/', false)
    matches true in "adblock":{"enabled":true and replaces it with false resulting in a new spoofed value: "adblock":{"enabled":false
  • example.com##+js(trusted-replace-outbound-text, eval, ads:true, ads:false, encoding, base64) For instance, eval('"YWRzOnRydWU="') which decoded value is 'ads:true', will return 'YWRzOmZhbHNl' which is 'ads:false' after decoding.

When the replacement starts with json:, it will be first decoded using JSON.parse() (since 1.59.1b8), example:

  • example.com##+js(trusted-replace-outbound-text, somefn, json:"ok")

The doublequotes are required since this is what JSON.parse() expects as a valid JSON string.

Trusted scriptlet

Behaves exactly like set-constant, except that any arbitrary JSON-compatible value can be set.

By default the value is treated as a string, which can be anything.

If the value starts with { and ends with }, the value will be JSON-parsed, and the value property of the resulting object will be used. Since 1.59.1b9, { "value": ... } can be replaced with json:.

trusted-suppress-native-method.js ↪

Trusted scriptlet

New in 1.58.1rc0

This is a first draft version with current limitations:

  • Does not support matching arguments which are object or array
  • Does not support stack parameter

Syntax:

  • example.org#%#//scriptlet('trusted-suppress-native-method', methodPath, signatureStr[, how[, stack]])

Parameters:

  • methodPath – required, string path to a native method (joined with . if needed). The property must be attached to window.
  • signatureStr – required, string of |-separated argument matchers. Supported value types with corresponding matchers:
    • string – exact string, part of the string or regexp pattern. Empty string "" to match an empty string. Regexp patterns inside object matchers are not supported.
    • number, boolean, null, undefined – exact value,
    • object – partial of the object with the values as mentioned above, i.e by another object, that includes property names and values to be matched,
    • array – partial of the array with the values to be included in the incoming array, without considering the order of values.

To ignore specific argument, explicitly use whitespace as a matcher, e.g ' | |{"prop":"val"}' to skip matching first and second arguments.

If signatureStr parameter is not declared, the scriptlet will log all calls to methodPath along with the arguments passed and will not prevent the trapped method.

Tokens:

  • "how": optional, string, one of the following:
    • abort – default, aborts the call by throwing an error,
    • prevent – replaces the method call with the call of an empty function.
    • debug – triggers a debugger statement and the target method is not suppressed. Useful to find out how the method is being called by the page's code.
  • "stack": optional, string or regular expression that must match the current function call stack trace.

Examples:

example.org##+js(trusted-suppress-native-method, localStorage.setItem, '/key/|"value"', prevent)
example.org##+js(trusted-suppress-native-method, Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty, '"test"')
example.org##+js(trusted-suppress-native-method, Node.prototype.appendChild, '{"id":"str"}', prevent)
example.org##+js(trusted-suppress-native-method, Document.prototype.querySelectorAll, '"div"')
example.org##+js(trusted-suppress-native-method, Array.prototype.concat, '[1, "str", true]')
example.org##+js(trusted-suppress-native-method, sessionStorage.setItem, ' |"item-value"', abort, someFuncName)
  1. Prevent localStorage.setItem('test-key', 'test-value') call matching first argument by regexp pattern and the second one by substring.
  2. Abort obj.hasOwnProperty('test') call matching the first argument.
  3. Prevent Node.prototype.appendChild call on element with the id test-id by object matcher.
  4. Abort all document.querySelectorAll calls with div as the first argument.
  5. Abort Array.prototype.concat([1, 'str', true, null]) calls by matching array argument contents.
  6. Use stack argument to match by the call, while also matching the second argument.
