Block Floc checks in Chrome/uBO (original) (raw)

Prerequisites

• I verified that this is not a filter issue
  • Filter issues MUST be reported at filter issue tracker
• This is not a support issue or a question
  • Support issues and questions are handled at /r/uBlockOrigin
• I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue
  • Your issue may already be reported.
• I tried to reproduce the issue when...
  • uBlock Origin is the only extension
  • uBlock Origin with default lists/settings
  • using a new, unmodified browser profile
• I am running the latest version of uBlock Origin
• I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I report is not a normal behavior

Description

Block FloC requests within uBO

A specific URL where the issue occurs

Test case: https://amifloced.org/ But will eventually occur on various sites.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Expect uBO to block requests using Floc
2. Open : https://amifloced.org/
3. Detects FloC

Expected behavior:

uBO should block FloC for privacy.
Have an option to counter google's tracking. Would recommend a default option for Chrome, but if not available a configurable option.

Actual behavior:

FloC isn't being blocked in uBO.

Your environment

• uBlock Origin version: 3.10.2
• Browser Name and version: Brave V1.22.71 (Apr 1, 2021)
• Operating System and version: Windows

Maybe too generic, but something like this:

! Remove Floc checks by websites when using Chrome
!#if env_chromium
*##+js(aopr, document.interestCohort)
*##+js(aopw, document.interestCohort)
!#endif
