Disable uBlock Origin's "has prevented the following page from loading" Temporarily/Permanently screen?


Recommended Posts

If I'm going to continue installing this on family and friend's PCs, it needs to be a transparent extension.

 

I'm fed up of them calling me and asking "What's this? Which one do I click on?"

 

To be fair, I'm with them. It's an annoying screen. AdBlock never displayed anything annoying like this.

I'm with there, it is very annoying to have the stupid window pop up. The only thing that I can think of doing is exporting the white list and the rules from your system) and then importing them on to each system (after of course you go through and build the list) or disable some of the 3rd party lists and see if that helps.

Either fix your ruleset or go back to adblock. It is stating that it is blocking something based on a filter. UO tends to be more geared towards advanced users with technical knowledge; it is possible adblock is a better solution for yourself and friends/family.

Every site I've seen that popup on usually have has adware bundled installers more notably download.com

I agree, I usually see this when ublock prevent malware/adware attempting to run from the browser. It is definitely OP's filtering list, he can either adjust the ruleset or just not use those rules.

While I use it, I would never install uBlock Origin on other people's computers as it's for more advanced users. Go back to Adblock Plus.

it just warns you that you are going to a site which is known for distributing adware (and in some cases malware too)

As others said, disable the block list it's mentioning if you know what you're trying to access. awin1.com is a spam/ad company so I wouldn't advise that.

 

From the URL it looks like you're trying to download paid games like this. We don't allow discussion of that here at all.

The website was legitimate. I can't remember what it was as it was a few days ago.

Next time the message appears, I'll post here.

ya usually if you click a sponsored link. So far I haven't been annoyed by it, I always think "thanks for reminding me to keep my guard up"

The website in the pic is www.base.com. Going there directly is no issue with UO and the filter rule in the image in place. You're getting that UO page because it's blocking the referral link from the adware/scumware provider.

Did the OP (Elliot B.) ever mentioned what web browser(s) he, his family & friends were using?  seems like he did not.

 

I've been using ublock origin for a few years over adblock plus (with Firefox & Chrome) because in the past UO blocked ads faster than ABP and ABP was slowing down PCs and using up CPU resources while ABP was blocking ads.  Perhaps recent versions of Adblock plus for FF & Chrome won't slow down computers & consume precious CPU resources like it did with older versions.

Found a new example.

 

This HotUKDeals entry.

 

It's completely legit.

 

However, when I click 'Get Deal', I get:

I genuinely don't care for the reason. It's an annoyance.

 

I'll switch back to Adblock Plus.

Done.

 

I'll see if it helps, thank you! :)

It doesnt happen with amazon.com - maybe when you click an external pointing link.

As others have mentioned, you might need to tweak your settings (but be careful)

I have been using it for a while now, and am happy - when that page pops up - its for a good reason.

Do not click on the "Advanced Users " option in settings, unless you really know what you're doing.

I dont know all the bits about UO so I dont mess with the fine-tuning.  But I have UO turned off for certain pages (neowin being one of them) and for the others - it does its intended job.

I dont have a good enough reason to jump ship to something else, and if that day comes, it wont be to ABP, or any of its derivatives.

    • With laws changing, they (tech companies) may need to pivot fast to ID checking. They don’t want to hold that info due to accountability, penalties for data breaches. It also helps if they can comply but not know who when law comes asking.
    • Gemini to access WhatsApp, messages, and calls on Android devices by July 7 by Paul Hill Google has emailed some users of its Gemini AI to inform them of a new change coming into force on July 7, 2025, that will allow Gemini to integrate with Android apps like WhatsApp, Messages, and Phone, Tuta has learned. The change will apply to users whether or not they have disabled Gemini Apps Activity in their settings. For users who decide to keep this feature enabled, it will mean that Gemini can perform tasks like sending messages or making calls using these apps. The associated help page seems to be already live, and it outlines how to use the feature, plus what Gemini cannot do with WhatsApp if you have the two connected. Google says Gemini won’t be able to read or summarize your WhatsApp messages; add or read images, GIFs, or memes in your messages; add or play audio or videos in your messages; or read or respond to WhatsApp notifications. A bit worryingly, Google follows up right after saying, “The Gemini mobile app may support some of these actions with help from Google Assistant or the Utilities app, even with WhatsApp disabled in Gemini.” According to Tuta, you can limit Gemini’s access on your device by going to the Gemini app > Profile > Apps > Toggle off individual app extensions. You can also switch off Gemini Apps Activity by going to Gemini > Profile > Gemini Apps Activity > Turn off, but this may not be enough to prevent access to your WhatsApp after the update. Even with Gemini App Activity switched off, Google may store your activity for 72 hours for security, safety, and user feedback. This update by Google reflects a larger trend among big tech companies quietly changing their terms and opting users into new features automatically. Most recently, Meta rolled out its Meta AI in WhatsApp without a way to switch it off. When Google does roll out the feature to Gemini, most people probably won’t realize the change occurred unless Google throws a big message up in Gemini. Even if Google does do that, disabling access to WhatsApp seems a bit confusing.

    • GeForce NOW gains support for 21 games in July, including Killing Floor 3 and Schedule I by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Just as we start off a new month, Nvidia has a fresh GeForce NOW announcement for subscribers. The newly published blog post by the company details 21 games that are gaining support for the cloud gaming service in July, with some highlights including Killing Floor 3, Little Nightmares II, Schedule I, RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business, and more. Just this week alone, Nvidia is adding support for the following seven games for GeForce NOW subscribers: Little Nightmares II (New release on Xbox, available on PC Game Pass, July 1) Figment (New release on Epic Games Store, free, July 3) Path of Exile 2 (Kakao Games) Clicker Heroes (Steam) Fabledom (Steam) Rogue: Genesia (Steam) Schedule I (Steam) Nvidia also has plans to add a bunch more games during the rest of the month, which is when most of the biggest new releases are coming: The Ascent (New release on Xbox, PC Game Pass, July 8) Every Day We Fight (New release on Steam, July 10) Mycopunk (New release on Steam, July 10) Brickadia (New release on Steam, July 11) HUNTER×HUNTER NEN×IMPACT (New release on Steam, July 15) Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition (New release on Steam, July 15) DREADZONE (New release on Steam, July 17) The Drifter (New release on Steam, July 17) He Is Coming (New release on Steam, July 17) Killing Floor 3 (New release on Steam, July 24) RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business (New release on Steam, July 17) Wildgate (New release on Steam, July 22) Wuchang: Fallen Feathers (New release on Steam and Epic Games Store, July 23) Battle Brothers (Steam) The company tends to add many more games to its cloud gaming service outside of these early announcements, so check back as weeks go by to see what's new. As always, though, keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers.
    • The TLDR - It's generally leveraging blockchain/cryptography and math-based proofs. The goal is information can't be stolen because it was never shared - other than what it is you had to prove (you're over 18, 21, or whatever). It still requires that some type of service stores that information in a manner that's secure, but the end goal is you don't have to share that information elsewhere if not necessary. In this instance, government/state issued IDs could leverage these services - and when you go to use any other public or private service you only need to validate what they need to know. It's like handing over a redacted ID except for your birthdate - except in this case it's even better because it doesn't even share that - it could in this case just share "Yes" - you meet the requirements.
