Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist/issues/360

I'd like a way to get an exception for this behaviour, probably linked to this entry:

google.com##a[href*="perplexity.ai"]:upward(2):remove()

I send myself links from my phone's perplexity.ai conversation to my PC so I can better read and save the content.
With the list enabled in uBlock Origin, the link disappears after briefly appearing in the content.

Since the list itself is not editable from uBlock Origin, I'm not sure what else to do apart from disabling this list altogether.

Thanks for getting back to me with advice on how to deal with this issue.

Thanks, but that's not very convenient when using the share button!

So instead and in the meantime, I've downloaded the list, edited it to remove the offending lines, and imported it as a file from my PC, and it worked. To paraphrase Louis Rossmann, I learned something new today!

In simpler terms, I modified the list.txt file from the repository by removing the perplexity.ai references and imported it as a file:///[full local drive path here] in uBlock Origin, and it worked!
