Test again in a new browser profile with only uBOL and its default settings + Optimal mode.

I can reproduce with same lists as OP:

Investigating.

[gorhill]

Caused by ~nettimokki.com##div[id*=AdContainer] in FIN list.

This is an open issue: #202 (comment)

For now, downgrading filtering mode to Basic for that site makes the detection go away. This will have to be the solution until the issue is fixed in uBOL.

[stephenhawk8054]

We can add

vectr.com##+js(trusted-replace-argument, document.querySelector, 0, json:"#root", condition, #AdContainer)

in uBOL list as a temp solution without users downgrading to Basic?

[gorhill]

As you wish, but personally I think downgrading to Basic just for that site is a reasonable workaround and we won't have to keep track of the filters added as a temporary fixes until the root problem is fixed in the source code.

[stephenhawk8054]

Yeah, I just think again, other filters benefited from optimal don't really affect this site so Basic is still good.
