#220 bit wrong documentation

What documentation are you meaning? Here in the wiki or the FAQs in the extension?

The rules from the ruleset generator are necessary when using uBlock in Medium (or Hard) mode, because all third-party connections are blocked. This can be recognized by the uBlock icon (blue or red).

Icon	Mode	Rules useful	uBlock Wiki
	Default/Easy	No	https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode#very-easy-mode-details-
	Medium	Yes	https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-medium-mode
	Hard	Yes	https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-hard-mode

Hello,
a few months ago I was going to report on this issue, because I was checking this if it was necessary to add the rules for LocalCDN to work.

I use uBlock Origin with "advanced user" setting enabled(firefox), and you don't need to create any additional rules. Works perfectly with LocalCDN.

Because by default in uBlock Origin all are "noop", unless the specific rule to block it is created then LocalCDN could not work on it.

This is an old problem that I solve Decentraleyes by creating specific rules(noop), but it is no longer necessary to create them in uBlock Origin.

However, in uMatrix it is necessary because by default resources are blocked, unless you include the rules to allow it.

Cheers

I use uBlock Origin with "advanced user" setting enabled(firefox), and you don't need to create any additional rules. Works perfectly with LocalCDN.

Yes, because "advanced user" doesn't change the blocking mode of uBlock. It's still on "Easy". You don't need rules for easy modes.

What color is your uBlock counter?

Please read this:
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Advanced-user-features
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode

What color is your uBlock counter?

The icon color is gray:

By default it has these rules (My rules pane), with these rules there is no problem with the LocalCDN:

no-csp-reports: * true
no-large-media: behind-the-scene false
behind-the-scene * * noop
behind-the-scene * 1p-script noop
behind-the-scene * 3p noop
behind-the-scene * 3p-frame noop
behind-the-scene * 3p-script noop
behind-the-scene * image noop
behind-the-scene * inline-script noop

Actually, there is no set in dynamic filters, everything skips("noop") to the comestic filters, and LocalCDN would detect.

Now, if you add manually "Blocking mode: medium mode", this:

* * 3p-script block

You are blocking javascript to third web-pages(like CDNs), and then the LocalCDN will not detect it and it can do its magic. Then you will need to manually add the additional "noop" rules for the LocalCDN to work.

For example, I block fonts.googleapis.com directly in uBlock Origin, and I don't need to activate LocalCDN blocking fonts.googleapis.com in advanced options:

* fonts.googleapis.com * block

This advanced options doesn't make much sense for someone (like me) using uBlock Origin, unless you only use LocalCDN. So this you should change the noop to block:

* fonts.googleapis.com * noop

As always, thanks for your work
Cheers

Looks like you're right. I mean in wiki, and settings, and everywhere possible.
Documentation confused me. I tought I have to set uBlock to medium mode for you extension to work at all. Nowhere does it say clearly that I don't need thosee rules if I am using default settings or easy mode of uBlock origin. It only says not supported, so I interpreted it as "your extension is not supported if we don't use medium mode in uBlock origin" and "rules (recipes) are neccessary for all of us". Please clarify it there (everywhere). As for uMatrix, I use it in allow all mode so not needed.

Ah, yes, that can be misunderstood. I have replaced "supported" with "necessary".

If anyone can describe this better and more clearly in your own words, I'd be happy to hear your suggestions. I will copy it directly into the wiki. 😉
