What is your main "objection" LaodIrmb or entMNbx or both?

My toolkit can only get this far...

Seems that navigator and _0x are good candidates.

The code feels like https://github.com/javascript-obfuscator/javascript-obfuscator , I'm making a deobfuscator specifically targeted at it, but so far no luck, it's pretty difficult to fingerprint their template functions.

How about
washingtonpost.com##script:inject(abort-current-inline-script.js, InstallTrigger, _0x)
?

Yea, that looks better.

update #2317 as suggested

I agree :).

Doesn't quite work anymore, new rule: ||washingtonpost.com/wp-stat/pwapi/prod/*

update #2317

@jspenguin2017

@jspenguin2017 that is no anti-adblock message, it is their "paywall", I get it every few articles even if I disable uBlock.

It's your call, I'm OK with either way, just make sure it's not confusing.

either remove the "paywall" entirely or unbreak it entirely, removing just half of it is confusing.

has been fixed with 7ff9033 and for the rest, that's gorhills decision.

A paywall-circumvention list is not part of uBO's stock lists, that would be the only place to put a filter which primary purpose is to cirumvent a paywall. Also, I think it's best to not have such list in uBO's stock lists.

Reportedly there is an issue with washingtonpost.com:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1466730

I can't reproduce on my side (using a US VPN), using default lists.

The issue https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1466730 is OS related.

Some script:inject filters do not work with MacOS, see #682 and NanoAdblocker/NanoFilters#45 (comment) for example.

I can reproduce the bugzilla issue, if I add

washingtonpost.com#@#script:inject(abort-current-inline-script.js, InstallTrigger, _0x)

To get the antiadblock message I also have to add
washingtonpost.com#@#.adblocker-root

update #2317

update #6339

Whats the latest filter to circumvent paywall(to be used as custom filter ) ? like this

try
https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/e3qd06/washington_post_at_it_again_changed_their_nagwall/f9pfdev/

low-tech solution, clear cookies or stop the page from loading as soon as you click on the link. That's what I do on my phone often.

clear cookies or stop the page from loading as soon as you click on the link.

Technically, you will have to do that after browsing every 3-4 links and that will turn into quite an annoyance if you're an active reader, that's why I didn't suggest that before.

You can also block cookies but that will break videos and I'm sure it will break other stuff.

There's an addon for this called "Bypass Paywalls Clean"
Might be worth checking out, since it seems unlikely for uBlock to add this.

For this case, ||washingtonpost.com/*/pwapi-proxy.min.js$script,1p still works. but won't be added to built-in lists as we don't fix paywalls.
