Ask HN: uBlock not blocking ads on Twitter desktop anymore?

3 points by shafyy ↗ HN
I noticed today that my uBlock Origin extension for Firefox doesn't block ads on Twitter (desktop) any more. Does anybody know if I can manually add a list or something?

Works for me, so not sure if this is actually happening

I do not see any ads on Twitter, using uBlock Origin in FF, and see the ads-api.twitter.com domain in the list of blocked domains, among others.

You can add your own lists and subscribe to other existing lists in the settings of the addon, but my first intuition would be that this isn't what's causing the issue.

Interesting. I don't see any requests to ads-api.twitter.com at all. Maybe they started rolling out changes to fetch the ads differently?

I suppose that is an option. Maybe you're in some A/B group where things have been changed up, which can't be reproduced otherwise.
