Hey @urbenlegend

Is fixed via reddit.com##.size-compact.Post:has([class*="promoted"]) in uBO. We currently don't support procedural filters (Like :has)

Reference ticket for procedural filters #16935

but on desktop the reddit promoted ads are already blocked.
does this means that the ad blocking engine on android is not the same as the one on desktop?

[lazymonkey2]

any news on this?

I think we can close this as of #27874. I confirmed I wasn't able to find any promoted content on Reddit's mobile website in Nightly (1.49.x).
