UBO won't block or redirect it as pi.gif is not currently found on any known privacy related list (at least not on any uBO's stock lists). UBO would block or redirect that 1x1 gif even without explicit blocking or redirection rule.

Open the page (without any active explicit rule to block pi.gif).Next sample page ( rakentaja.fi) has a tracking pixel that's not covered by filter lists because of it's non-generic name, but blocking of it won't cause issues. ||mognavi.jp/image/1x1.gif$redirect=1x1.gifĪnother sample, this page uses 1x1 gif for content alignment purposes, if you block it, content alignment will look different:īut, if you redirect it, alignment works properly: If you block 1x1 gif on, some content on the front page wont load.īut, if you redirect it, everything loads properly: If something like this were to be implemented, I think it'd safest to use redirection rather than blocking as sometimes blocking those gifs will cause issues.Įxamples of sites where redirection is needed instead of blocking to prevent issues: Would it be possible to implement a feature (or a built-in function) to uBO to block or redirect universally all 1x1 gifs as the main purpose of those is to track user? Websites name them differently so it's not possible to use one rule to block or redirect them all and there's a constant need for filter list maintainers to add more rules to block or redirect them on different websites. using a new, unmodified browser profile.I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I report is not a normal behavior.The issue is not present after wholly disabling uBlock Origin ("uBO") in the browser.

I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue.This is not a support issue or a question.I verified that this is not a filter issue (MUST be reported at filter issue tracker).
