Block Element working intermittently

Post by SantaCruzJoe »

I recently discovered the "Block Element" feature that I LOVE. However it seems to only carry over between sessions intermittently. I have a desktop at work running Windows 7 and sometimes it remembers for some sites between sessions but on some sites it doesn't. For instance, there is a popup on weather.com that I've blocked but it doesn't remember next time I access this site. It seems to not remember any sites on my home laptop that is running Windows 10.

Where do the blocked elements get saved? Is there something I can do to make this work more reliably?

Thanks.

Hello @SantaCRuzJoe

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Do you notice the custom filter in the advanced section is also removed? We look forward to your follow up!

Thanks

The custom filter does include the element I have blocked on the windows 10 laptop but it doesn't seem to block it.

@SantaCruzJoe Thanks for those details. I have some extra eyes looking into this. We will run a few tests on our end and get back to you with a resolution.
