Comment

The problem isn't with a specific website, but I couldn't figure out how to submit a bug report otherwise.

I just updated all my adguard filters, and now whenever I have "Web Annoyances Ultralist" turned on, no pages of any kind will load. When I turn it off, all pages start loading a few seconds later.

Not seeing a rule which blocks the mentioned one. Please note the mentioned filter is a third-party filter, so we cannot do any modifications to them.
Please check @yourduskquibbles

Sorry this was a typo in Web Annoyances Ultralist caused by just the letter t being treated as a network filter in Adguad and blocking anything with the letter t in the URL (initial commit). This was fixed with yourduskquibbles/webannoyances@713a91a at 23:59 2020-03-03 EST (9 hours ago or so) about 4 hours after the bad filter was initially committed.

It is possible some users updated their lists between the few hours the bug filter t was present and then stuck with it until Adguard updated the cached list it fetches but it should be fixed now if users update their filters.

Sidenote: uBO was throwing out this filter t as invalid so I didn't realize the damage it was doing for Adguard users. In future maybe Adguard can also throw away such 1 letter filters in the future the same way as uBO handles them? @ameshkov

Hm, we actually discard filters that are shorter than 3 characters (at least I always thought we do that)

@Alex-302 @BlazDT could you please check it?

t was definitely getting used as a network filter with Adguard on Chrome for Windows and was blocking all content (that contained the letter t) from loading on pages when I tested last night after being alerted in yourduskquibbles/webannoyances#201

Creating a user rule filter @@t override the bad filter t that was getting loaded from ultralist.txt but that 1 character filter was definitely being parsed by Adguard on Chrome for Windows last night.
