Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist/issues/148
Used via uBO, this filter often (but not always) blocks ALL image search results in Duckduckgo. Issue observed in Firefox 137.
@itsasooz commented on GitHub (Apr 13, 2025):
Have the same problem, not 100% consistent:
The problem seems to be with showing images and text, as the links still seem to function. Outgoing links work as normal; the image feature links seem to open the feature, but I can't tell because no text or images.
I'm on Firefox 137.0.1, UBO 1.63.2 with everything updated. Have confirmed that the issue is caused by this particular filter.

On Firefox 137.0.1, uBO 1.63.2, list updated.
Why it happens
This happens when any of the ai sites show up in the results (with a link).
In the case in the image below the following filter was triggered:
google.com,duckduckgo.com,bing.com##a[href*="forkful.ai"]:upward(div):style(opacity:0.00!important;)(it is the first filter in this case)
The problem arises when evaluating

:upward(div). None of the elements you want to filter aredivs, so it continues until it finds the container for all images.How to reproduce:
forkful.ai)Potential fix
You would want to filter the first
lielement it finds upward instead.[...]:upward(li):style(...)would do that, but since you're also targeting google.com and bing.com, a different rule might be needed, or in the worst case even separate rules for each.@khatharsis42 commented on GitHub (Apr 28, 2025):

I also am experiencing this issue and can confirm it happens irregularly.
@laylavish commented on GitHub (Apr 30, 2025):
Okay, try it now. Working fine on my end.
@CEa-TIde commented on GitHub (Apr 30, 2025):
Also working on my end on duckduckgo, and did a quick check on bing/google as well.
@ReedGraf commented on GitHub (Apr 30, 2025):
Also working for me now. 👍
Thanks!
@laylavish commented on GitHub (Apr 30, 2025):
Cool. Got two confirmations that it's working, closing this issue now.
