Just go into ublock origin settings -> Filter lists -> enable "Social widges" and "Annoyances" (you can experiment with only some of them, but I enabled everything years ago and never had major problems).

It takes care of a lot of this stuff, including cookie banners and all sorts of popups. Buy a beer for list maintainers (some of them accept donations) since Raymond doesn't, and their work is equally valuable.



More specifically, this Google popup is blocked by the "EasyList – Other Annoyances" filter list.


Thank you for pointing this out. Those popups weren't achieving anything else but annoying me.


These lists are marked as obsoletes in my version of ublock (v1.60.0).


Do you need to do a list update perhaps? They're fine in mine (same version)


It works now, thanks for the trick!
